Tage Thompson, your homework assignment is to watch every game Dave Andreychuk ever played in for the rest of your hockey career. Dave Andreychuk, your Alumni assignment is to be Tage Thompson's roommate until the blue and gold falls off of him.

And Armia is is a Canadian now.

He has the moves, needs more speed or just get in the right space. But those hands, he needs to finish, shooting coach. To the Sword phone, get Andreychuk on the line........:)

God I love that Skinner/Eichel/Reinhart line. WOW Thompson........

I should have gone tonight. Dam 60 hour weeks.....

Can we play Arizona 30 times a season please

Me likey the Okposo dozer

Gold Cheektorado, Gold!! ?

Completely agree. Edit: JB will be looking for control and term I'd surmise. No rentals imo. JB has the ammo, but won't sell the farm most likely. Any thoughts Tom on who meets the criteria?

4 Skinner (47) Eichel (33) Reinhart (25) Pominville (20)

Did anyone cut the head off of a live chicken?

As much as I like Tarasenko, this team needs a 2nd line center, and not a middle of the pack or even a slightly above average middle of the pack center. If I'm Botterill, as I watch this unfold, I hope other teams come in to scoop up Tarasenko and another one of their impact players, then use that 2020 1st (which it would most likely be) to seal a deal for a real impact 2nd line center. Having a 1 - 2 punch, a la the Leafs, would certainly be entertaining. Love him or Hate him, ROR is the gift that appears to just keep on giving. Interesting times to be sure.

Girgensons ?

They need to swap put a couple of forwards in lines 2 and 3. Trades, seat down........something.

Hunwick is approaching game ready status I guess. Wonder how this all plays out.

And The Legend of Skinner Grows

Reinhart has net front presence IQ, Ehlers has speed. And in the current NHL, Speed kills, net front presence IQ...……..not so much, depending on the system of course. Ehlers has the legs, and Winnipeg is built for speed. Check the score sheet and standings, that is a current successful formula. Much more so than nail biters. Look at the GF / GA ratio...…. https://www.nhl.com/standings/2018/league One of these things is sustainable, one is not...…….

Well, if the idea was to entertain, he got me chuckling. I suspect if Botterill ever read it, he would be to.

I respectfully disagree. There are teams picking it up beyond SJ in the west. I don't think they make it, but we shall see.

CJ should already be up imo. I like his play.

It was on a podcast out of Buffalo today. Not sure who. Tarasenko is not who we need I believe. We have Skinner and Jack on that top line, we need a 2C to push Mitts down to more sheltered minutes, the kid isn't ready imo. I wouldn't be selling the farm to bring in any high price tag targets. Judging by the Blues current situation, the wheels haven't just fallen off, one of them was last seen bouncing off of I-44 in to a corn field with growing Kinetic Energy. The perfect scenario is unfolding there with such a high pick this yr they are forced to use it, handing Buffalo a full blown unprotected for next yr. And I don't see them righting that ship next season, maybe starting to stabilize it, starting too, but that pick is Gold Jerry, Gold! The aging San Jose Sharks are looking weak both on the roster and in the pipe line. I see them heading south next season in a big way. But it's the conditions on that 2019 1st position that is the most interesting to me. If the Sharks don't make the playoffs this year, Ottawa gets the pick, and with the pushes coming from other WC teams, I honestly don't believe they make it, as of now. Interesting times to be sure, if I'm Botterill, I'm holding those picks like a 6 yr old little girl does a Teddy Bear at bed time on a cold winters night.

Caught the Winnipeg - Phiadelphia game. Speed kills. And, Ehlers looked especially fast. His passes were on tape.

The ROR curse is real ? That Blues 1st for 2020 is looking like pure gold.
