If I'm a rival GM I do what the guy in Ottawa did and bully/harass/work over Kevyn until he gives in and makes a hilariously bad and stupid trade of Tuch.

7:30 local start times (ESPECIALLY ON WEEKDAYS) should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

Watching this game and the performance of the Rochester call-ups in general have me convinced that allowing Leone to slip through their fingers would be one of the all time blunders that haunts us forever. The fact Rochester is at the top of their division despite all the call-ups and Levi (the guy expected to carry the team) being a huge liability in net says it all.

If he hits UFA there will be a huge line of teams willing to give him that type of deal. Tuch is literally irreplaceable, any player of his type will be impossible to acquire because of NTC's at any price. If you end up trading Dahlin and Tage they officially become the Coyotes where within 5 years Bettman will have no choice but to throw his hands in the air, admit defeat and allow Ebenezer Pegula to sell to a group that moves the team to Portland or Houston.

How hard is it for people to understand the devastating second order consequences of not paying Tuch: Dahlin and Tage demand out, Team's reputation around the league somehow gets even worse, Team morale completely collapses.

By "A lot" you mean a late first in one of the most crap drafts in years and a mid-level prospect. Imagine walking into the locker room and telling everyone you just traded Tuch for a pile of dreck because the idiot owner didn't want to pay him?

Fair enough, was guilty of reacting without seeing it as I was in Bridgeport watching the Amerks.

I mean at this point how can you NOT ask what in the flying ***** that strength and conditioning coach is doing?

Seconded! Go to Mammouns for the falafel as well!

Will you be in Bridgeport tomorrow? If so I'll be the guy in the white Mike Card jersey.

Did RyJo kick Lindy's dog or something? Why can't they give him a shot over Bryson?

So now everyone wants to lose out for an 18% chance to draft a would-be savior who right now is having red flags pop up on a daily basis and isn't anywhere as good in college as Jack was?

Adams IS the fool.
