wjag Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Could see the Yotes doing it in game 81 or 82 if it's an absolute must lose. ;) Well there's that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthEbriate Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 The black on the sleeves is terrible. I thought they had one of the better jerseys in the league already, now they've butchered it Agreed. It appears they're in perpetual mourning, home or away.

The black is so weird and out of place at the top of the sleeves where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Just mourning (slightly prematurely) the death of hockey in Glendale. Definitely premature. But as a Seattlite, I'm hopeful. I wish they wouldn't have given up the Native American/Southwest/peyote-trip-themed sweaters. They were fun and screamed expansion team. Now, they've got a more refined look... plus black armbands.

dejeanneret Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Last year the Sabres did their buyouts the morning after the draft, similar to Kings and Canadiens today. No word today from Murray. Hmmmm....Could Cody be staying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Sounds like Eric Staal is staying put in Carolina "I’ve had a general and open and honest conversation with Eric’s agent on things," Francis said Saturday. "We’ll continue to have those as we move into the summer. Eric has indicated he wants to be part of the Hurricanes moving forward, and we’ll see if we can get that worked out." http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/38757/rumblings-hurricanes-working-on-eric-staal-extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yeah, Lombardi took a serious risk on Mike Richards' word, and they got on. LA's paying for that through 2025, with a peak cap hit of $4M+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played both in my career, and it helped me. It’s more about who he plays with than where he plays.” i've always felt that way, really. Outside of taking faceoffs, the forward positions aren't that different from one another. and if you get into a cycle game in the offensive zone, you better be pretty familiar with all three positions so you know where your passing options are, and also where to go when someone else has the puck. unless one guy is significantly better at draws, i don't think it really matters who plays where. it would be a little different trying to convert a winger to a center, but in this case, all three are centers -- they will be fine on the wing.

He won't do much if anything on the fourth line. Where would he play? I could actually see CoHo being really productive on Reinhart's wing. I think they see the game in a similar way. He was awful last year, but let's say he rebounds. He got 44 points on a last place team. With the right centre, if he is putting up 55 or so points. That could give us some serious depth. That said, we still have too many players, as well as a huge imbalance of players.

X. Benedict Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Just noticed.......Toronto didn't exactly draft big. They took 5 players under 6 foot. 2015 1 4 Mitch Marner RW London (OHL) 5' 11" 171 2015 2 34 Travis Dermott D Erie (OHL) 5' 11" 190 2015 3 68 Martins Dzierkals LW Riga (Belarusian) 5' 11" 170 2015 5 125 Dmytro Timashov LW Quebec (QMJHL) 5' 8.75" 162 2015 2 61 Jeremy Bracco RW US-Under-17 (USAH-NTDP) 5' 9.5" 156 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 ^^ Huh. Well, that comes from being "over prepared," I guess (Dubas's description of his team's pre-draft state of mind). The Chicacgo-TB final showed that you needn't be in the mold of LA to make it to the final. In any case, it's unlikely any of those picks but the top 2 make it to the league. The kid with Erie isn't tall, but he sounds like he's built solidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
