Man, if there was anyway to pry him out of Tampa......

I thought Joker played the right side? He on his off-hand? Anyone know if he has any experience with this or is this just a result of our glut at RHD? Also, it looks like that Scandella - Miller pairing is something they like. I believe they were also paired in Phase 1 of camp?

If a decent upgrade is on the table today you take it. If not, I'm fine with the bolded approach. I'm not trading Risto for a third line forward unless there is already something worked out with another team to utilize the $6 mil cap space for something else.

Yes. This. Montour will likely be back by (American) Thanksgiving. If there's a deal out there to improve the forwards I hope this injury doesn't sway Botts. We need to upgrade the forward group. Guys like Borgen are ready to show up and I have faith will tie us over until he returns.

I love the idea of Joki and Dahlin together in a couple of years. I'm not sure putting a 19 and 20 year old out there together in a non-bottom pairing setting is the best idea. That's really too bad about Montour as I really liked the look of he and Dahlin together late last season.

Preseason game eh

Borgen is an interesting one. I love his potential. He’s been developing for four full seasons now (three years college and year in roch). He showed well in roch and his 4 games with Buffalo at the end last year. To me it’s getting closer to now or never (he’ll be turning 23 in a couple months). I would love to see him get a nice long look but with the glut of RHD it’s not looking very likely he gets a sniff.

Sure he's come out and said Risto isn't playing either of the first two but WHY?? Amen. Looking more and more like that pick just isn't going to pan out. First pick in the third round (2014). It happens.

I’m excited for him this year.

I laughed at this too.

That Jokiharju kid looks alright. Quick.

Just checked and mine says that as well. But it says that for every game. Including ones that are very likely to be available. It’s my first year cutting cable and using the nhl.tv. Anyone who has it, does the feed usually become available right at the start of the game or earlier? And if I just kept reading I would see the answer haha.

That's a fair point but guys like Panarin had to move due to the larger salaries. It is hard to isolate every single factor but I don't think there's much debate that there is a finite amount of cap space and you can usually keep your guys but it's coming at an opportunity cost.

I think .... has already got that on lock down.

Of course it was worth it. That’s not the discussion we were having.

Ofcourse they do. But don't thin it doesn't have an impact on supporting players and the teams ability to afford them. As the Blackhawks.

That guy was a magician with the puck on his stick. The hockey Gods really are a cruel and unusual bunch.

I'll check it again when I get home but it was showing up for me yesterday. Unless something was changed. It better be available!!

If you have centre ice or streaming package it looks to be available as well.

All of them are suppose to be streamed.

Hmmmmmm

Does roselvic or whatever his name change that? Let’s atleast hope the D is stout. This is my point. If we’re not happy with the return then what are we doing here? I still don’t want to trade him just to trade him. Give my depth with joker in roch if so be it.
