  1. Back in my days on the Chip strip, guys like Matt Barnaby would get tossed out of just about every bar they entered. It was entertainment. Now Kane gets tossed from a drinking establishment, and everbody wants him gone.
  2. I'm assuming we'll move him at the deadline to a contender, unless that contender is us.
  3. Isn't he a pending UFA? I don't get why you'd trade for a pending UFA at this point.
  4. How can anybody possibly know this? TSN was wrong about what Buffalo would offer. I know Dreger has sources but that intel is absolutely top secret. I don't believe any of it.
  5. Shhhhhhh! Don't let Vesey see this!
  6. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2644304-nhl-combine-2016-results-full-results-measurements-highlights-top-prospects He blew everybody away in aerobic peak power output, which is nice. Therefore, I've decided to allow the pick, he can stay.
  7. He can't have very much value at this point, 3rd pick maybe. Sell high.... give him a chance to bounce back next season, he'll fill a top 6 role if we don't land Stamkos and Vesey, which is very likely. Same applies to Moulson, what if he suddenly starts clicking with Eichel and Reinhart and pots thir... OK. Nevermind.
  8. Do we know from the horses mouth that they're looking at 2D and 1F at pick 8? Thought it might be 3D.
  9. Anybody actually at the draft? I want to know the important things, like how many Canadians are in attendance, are they serving beer and for how much, and have there been any Battista sightings?
  10. I read twitter for a bit, then come back hear to see if there's any news, and it's just tweets I've been reading for the past 30min. What am I doing with my life?
  11. Me too. Don't do it! Or if one of their 3 guys isn't there at 8, then pull trigger.... but one will most likely be there.
  12. thanks, that's 4p here.
  13. What time does the draft officially start? 4 or 5p?
  14. Never go full McKenzie.
  15. I'll be he ends up someplace like VAN, or NSH, for a reasonable amount. He's not trash, just not worth a premium contract. Sad? Haha, no. He's made $50mil over the last 10 years.... don't feel sorry for him one bit.
  16. Why would anybody trade anything for him at this point?
  17. Jimmy doesn't like misunderstandings!
  18. Wonder if Vesey attends dev camp (7/6-12) if he's not under contract? Will Eichel be there?
  19. Vatanen likes to free wheel with the puck. Him and Fowler are their best skaters so they split them up. Fowler's knock is that he doesn't have very good offensive insincts, his decision making when to jump in the play or stay back is poor. Considering how great of a skater he is, he should be a weapon offensively, but he is not.... at least not at this point in his career. How much of that has to do with who he is paired with, who knows. But the skill set is there. He'd be top pairing in BUF, no question.
  20. FWIW, Fowler was paired with Bieksa who was awful last season (I live in Orange County and watch all the Ducks games). Lindholm and Vatanen were the top pairing, they're both fantastic. Put Fowler with either of those two and his adv stats would look much better.
  21. Next years first would make more sense, plus Ennis and a thurd this yesr.
  22. what's Nathan Paetsch doing these days?
  23. I have a kid who just finished PeeWee, he's moving up to Bantam next season. I also have a kids in Squirts. They dont have "midget" anymore, at least not in soCal. They call it 16u. They cannot check until Bantam 12-14yo. It used to be PeeWee 10-12yo. I hate it. The earlier you can learn to hit and most importantly take a hit, the better. The difference in size of the kids in Bantam is insane. Better yet, instead of going from no check to full check, allow some checking in PeeWee, no open ice hits, only check in your own end or something where you gradually ease into it. So many kids leave the sport because it suddenly becomes very violent at Bantam.
  24. He has a mullet, some guns and likes to lounge around in a speedo. Sorry, that's all I'm allowed to say at this point.
