  1. Think 2014/2015 Tank. Our long term future on D is in good hands with Risto/Zad/McCabe/Pysyk/Myers
  2. Are we finally going after Rattie? lol.
  3. That's a different point, my comment was regarding them not being competitve before their deals are up. I guess I'm just more optimistic in the timeframe when this thing gets turned around. If Hoff wants out then I hope Murray knows this before anything is publically stated and he goes ahead and pulls off a deal. With the depth we have at D in our system I really don't give a ###### whether they trade him or not, I just want the return to be reasonable.
  4. I find this is just a tad bit of an overreaction. I believe that you are right that this team has not hit rock bottom as far as NHL talent goes but I find that to be perfect timing with what is being discussed as an incredible draft next season. Plus we have young guys already in the pipeline developing so it's not as if we don't have a young talent base forming, they are just doing it away from this tire fire of an NHL team (which I'm fine with). Give us a strong draft this year and next and we will start to see our patience pay off in three years time with plenty of term left on Myers and 'Hoffs contract. I would rather we start turning this thing around soon as well but give us one more year and we will be fine.
  5. Can we please get this tank back on track??
  6. TN has done a reasonable job for sure but he is replaceable. Without sounding like TM I agree that you are in or you are out. If he hasn't made a decision by the end of the week I would be making the decision for him.
  7. If there was ever a time for a trade it's right now. I hope Tm is still working the phones while this other drama continues.
  8. I agree with all of this, I'm in no hurray to trade Stewart. Could end up like lupal for the leafs where a change of scenery got this guy back to his previous high form. Didn't the blues trade a bunch to pry him out of Colorado just a couple I years ago?
  9. So if the blues win two rounds we end up with a late first this year, a first next, Stewart, halak and a prospect, pretty decent haul for two good rentals.
  10. Well if ur ignoring last yr then his big yrs were only two and three yrs ago or as others have said he's only had one poor statistical season.
  11. He also led the blues in scoring last yr and love him on Colorado, I think he's a great third liner or second liner who is physical
  12. That sounds cool man, have fun.
  13. When you say marquee players do you mean very young guys likely in other teams farm systems? Because no big name players will be traded to us at the deadline. They need those players for their playoff push.
  14. You knock on wood God Damit! Knock on wood!
  15. You would think the Sabres are not very close to a trade with him starting tonight. I guess that one is going to go right down to the deadline.
  16. It sure is. Basically all year things have been leading up to the deadline. I think I may feel a cold coming on close to Wednesday.
  17. Everytime I see your name as the last post I get a little more excited that something has gone down! Keep up the good work on those tweets Corner (especially for those of us without twitter accounts/experience).
  18. Ya it sounds like we should get more out of that deal after doing some more reading on him. I honestly have no idea what Ott will bring back in a trade I guess. I would think pretty decent and if it's Ottawa I would try and get a draft pick out of them as they are no lock to win a playoff round. I'd much rather get a 1st out of Ottawa then a 1st out of a powerhouse in the west or Pitt or Boston in the east. Then again if it's Murray trading for him I'd feel at ease as I'm sure he has the most intimate knowledge of their farm/young players.
  19. Just for fun what would be the return from Ottawa? Shane Prince? He fits the bill of a decent prospect a couple of years into his development. There was obviously that other stuff about wanting out of Ottawa as well.
  20. Ahhhhh, thanks. So if the deal is in place then why has there been no announcement yet? If this is true, it must be announced soon as there's no way Ott would play tomorrow night.
  21. Who the heck is hockeyscanner and why does it say the page does not exist when you click on it? I think this may be closer to the less substantiated BS.
  22. If we play .500 the rest of the way fine. I worry about playing over .500. But as others have mentioned, if Miller goes, my fears will greatly decrease. I guess I've just seen this rerun too many times now. I also saw what Teddy was able to do with a Latvian club devoid of talent.
  23. My concern is if we continue to win and end up in 2nd and lose the lottery, thus drafting 3rd. Now there's a good chance Edmonton is ahead of us and if they are they will likely take Ekblad. But if we pick 3rd and both Sam's go 1 and 2 I would seriously give a lot more thought to take Ek over someone like LD or Dal Colle. I would also be trying to trade up a spot or 2 if we end up in 3rd but if we can't then I I'm not sure which way to lean. Probably Dal Colle but I'd be OK with going Ek in that spot and try moving one of our young D.
