I think Lu ends up in Florida. I think Tallon will target him because Vancouver can't afford to keep him on the books beyond this season. I bet they get him for a steal. Plus, he'll waive his NTC to go there.


I think that Minny's owner signed Parise and Suter to those contract expecting that he wouldn't be held responsible for the whole thing. I think he thought that salaries would get reduced again putting them at a more manageable number. Boy was he wrong. It's kind of amusing to be an outsider watching how it plays out.

Lu will now waive his NTC to go anywhere. I think he'll end up in Brooklyn, only cuz Markstrom looks ready. Miller makes more sense because his contract ends sooner, Lu has another 5-6 years of hefty salary.

I know we all figured this would happen, but GR is now confirming it:

Some of the mocks that are out right now have Drouin going at 3 or 4, so it's possible that he could be had outside of the top 3. I'd be ecstatic with 2 in the top 5.

No kidding. Do you want Darcy making the picks?

It would be interesting if that happens. Seeing as how he was drafted by the Islanders in the first place.

Honestly, Darcy isn't really the one making the picks. Kevin Devine is. And I've really like his drafts the last few years.

I'd rather take on Luongo's big contract than Miller's big mouth.

I saw that as well. Let's hope it keeps up that way!

If by awesome you mean losing to Philly by 2 goals, the answer is no.

Nope all I hear is a beat down flyer style!

Calgary won't be trading picks I don't think, so that will leave Florida. It's totally possible I guess but I think they'd draft Jones or Mackinnon given the chance.

Considering what their GM stated that management expects to make the playoffs next season, I think they'd trade for Vanek + MIN 1st for their 1st, which will still leave them with 3 1st round draft picks, and a high profile scoring winger

They might trade their other firsts or take on NHL contracts for very little return but i doubt they'd trade a top 3 pick.

You're giving Feaster way too much credit.

I've been watching hockey long enough to know they're far from a lock for the playoffs, and could miss them for another 8 years.

Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised to see King fired this offseason.

Well, obviously.


I just thought it was funny you said they were awesome but they're losing by 2 goals.

Unless you were using sarcasm. If that's the case, I think I need to get my sarcasm detector checked.

I mean, it is the Calgary Flames organization we're talking about. They traded down to Buffalo last year, I think dangling Vanek this year, they'd do it again.

They've been permeating the Canucks thread much of the season, especially lately with the Lu rumours.

Bishop is playing pretty well for TB today... good for him.

I loved reading posts on Tumblr by Sabres fans that were nothing but whining about Pommers getting the boot...

Clearly some people:

1. Don't actually pay attention to where the team is right now.
2. Don't care about the long-term effects this can have.
3. Are just too stupid to realize what's going on.
