I think they'll have a slow start as they learn Dr. Phil's Firewagon Hockey. Lehner will certainly face more odd-man breaks, and b-ways. Probably will be more fun to watch, but the problem is Lehner isn't Pekka Rinne, and that's going to be an issue with the firewagon brand of hockey.

Griffith is an underrated signing.

I just think he's an upgrade over Foligno.

I wonder what happens with Gorges. They just can't throw him on the trash heap, he makes too much and wore an "A". You'd think a young team like Vegas would be a good fit.

Good signing, upgrade over Nillson... let's Ullmark start 65 games in Roch.

Good bottom 6 signing. Upgrade over Foligno.

So is the Pomer deal, they played together there with Taylor and Vanek.

Chris Taylor was also on those teams and some guy named Thomas Vanek.

JBOT and Pomer were teammates in Roch for two seasons.

The word you're looking for is nepotism.

JBOT says he hopes to "make a few more additions tomorrow".... and "Is our defense a finished product? Not at all."

“As soon as they’re done, he’ll have a contract offer,” Sakic said. “We hope to sign him. He’s had a tremendous year. Since the moment we drafted him, four years in college, he’s gotten better every year and he’s obviously hot, the Hobey Baker winner, and hopefully we can sign him and have him be part of the organization.” “I told him (Sakic) I didn’t want an offer yet,” Butcher told The Denver Post. “I wanted to sit with him, talk with him about my year, what they’re thinking, what their philosophy is going to be. My parents are coming in this weekend for the banquet, and I want to talk to my parents before they offer me anything.”

meh don't know enough about him to craft what would normally be a brilliant, enlightened, thought provoking response.

Darcyesque

yeah, he puts words into players mouths... and if the player isn't receptive to his style he goes public with comments made in a private setting.

body language.... Borgen is a guy who plays because he's good at it. Fitzgerald plays because he loves the game. Nobody in their right mind would take on that Bogo contract... not a chance he gets moved.

Talking about fishing I hope.

Clearly talking about Paul Hamilton. I can't wait for the first Hamilton interview with Eichel... it's just gonna be head bobs and eyerolls from Jack .. yeah, uhhhuh, yep... next question?

The bottom 6 rebuild continues.

Just finished listening to this... - said he would consider switching his number to #9 if it became available - made a comment about how easy it was to play on team NA because the centers didn't need to help much in their own end due to the passing/skating skill of the dmen - focusing on trying to get better at faceoffs - typical comment about the local media in Buffalo, they kiss your ass when you play well, all over you when you play like - said he's not involved with contract discussions, leaving it up to his agent and focusing on hockey

consider there are infinite parallel universes.... we don't live in that universe.

If it was all on Bylsma, why is JBOT making these moves? I guarantee he replaces at least half of the bottom 6, and he's already replaced half the defense. I don't think Bylsma had much to work with and he's getting a bad rap for it.
