I haven't followed the draft as closely as years past.....but I would be thrilled if Maker or that high school kid fell to us.

Exactly....... Hahhahahaha, ya I guess it's Karma coming around?

Ugh, I hate picking behind Arizona two years in a row....

Wow, sorry to hear.....glad to have you back.

Agreed.

Whoa Whoa Whoa. This is such a far fetched rumor that I don't even want to respond. But you guys would really have a problem with this trade? Guy had a 'down' year with 33 goals this past season. He had scored 50+ in three straight years before that. He's 31. I don't think his game has or will fall off a cliff here. Four more years sounds perfect to me. What are we giving up? A guy that may or may not be here after this season, a 2nd round pick and another former 2nd round pick. What am I missing here? I'd be shocked if OV doesn't get back to or near 50 next season playing next to Jack.

Who do you have in mind? Some goalies develop later and you can sign them as free agents but I'm not sure about the draft. At quick glance the top 5 rated goaltenders are all 17/18. There are few / if any 22 year olds in the draft and worth making a pick on. Are there any free agents 22 that have a legit shot at making an NHL roster?

Do trades have to wait until the Cup finals is over?

I don't think (could be wrong) anyone wants Kane gone for the sake of it. To me, it's partly about cost control. He's likely going to command close to $7 mil on the open market. With Eichel and Reinhard up we just don't have that kind of cap space. Also, he's one of the few worthwhile assets we could use to help our mess of a D.

Come on Wildcard. No way we get Juolevi for Kane.

Where's the 'it's happening gif'? Your letting me down Liger....

What about the numbers Sam put up. Ducks.

I'll go with $50 Canadian if I lose. If I win you go $40 American? I think that's roughly equivalent? Or just go $50 Canadian if possible lol

I realize Tpegs has not been shy to pay ppl to not work for either organization to this point. But I'm sure every man will come to a moment where enough is enough. Maybe I'm still just too use to ownership of past who either went bankrupt or were too cheap. Especially this offseason who is in the running that needs a 5 year deal vs 3 to take the job? I would be shocked if boughner, tochet or housley would need that incentive. Who are we in competition with? Florida? I would think the job should be pretty attractive on its own. Hiring someone like Babcock? Sure I give him what he wants but were talking about all unproven guys right now. I guess I'm just afraid the well will run dry one day and I don't want it to be because we gave too many poor coaches long term contracts. I'm on my phone so I apologize for the atrocious spelling in this post.

Anaheim would be my guess.

Lmao

Ya I knew almost nothing about Boughner prior to a couple of days ago. After some research, I would be fine with him. But please TPegs, no more 5 year deals.

Fair enough. I could do a Charity bet. How much? Do we have to convert Canadian to American :P Maybe $50?

Avatar bet he goes after round 3?

Yes of course we are allowed to do that. I was responding to your point about not freaking out about losing Petersen because the draft is supposedly good for goaltending.

Less than 2.5 more hours.....

I think 95 percent chance he's gone. If Vegas takes ullmark then odds would increase substantially he signs with us. If we lose ullmark and Petersen in one offseason....not good. Not good at all.

Goalies take forever to develop. We drafted Petersen in 2013. He's had 4 years of development and still isn't ready for the NHL. Even if we hit on a goalie this draft it will probably be 2021 or 2022 before he has a look at the NHL.

You kidding me? I loved the choose your own adventure. That was my grade 5/6 go to when it came time for the annual scholastic book sale.....
