If that's your message, skip the ahl and start emailing the big boys. They seem to forget that. Philco for team consultant!

Hope Bowman Sr. would be all over dat but some nights...just not sure.

If it makes the team better, I'll take it, not sure those two guys will replace everything Sharp and Bolland bring, but it would sure be interesting to see. See, that's called compromise.

Guess we'll see what happens over the summer. Though with JJ saying Sharp is going to need surgery over the summer, I can't see many teams taking his injury and his contract on.

So I'll say Sharp wears the indianhead next September. Book it.

That may be the saddest part about his injury. I don't care if he plays another game this year, I just hope he's healthy enough to be traded by draft day.

Agreed, but they don't need Patrick Post to do it.

22 points last Cup run for Sharpshooter

Ditto.

Sharp, Bolland, Lalonde, for Eller and Pacioretty. Done. Book it.

Please and thank you

Agreed, but they don't need Patrick Post to do it.

Maybe they don't need him, but 88 seemed like he was more on his A game when he was playing with 10.

And I think an 88 playing like he was at the beginning of the year gets us closer to the cup.

And I'll say it again: Cup Good. Very Good.

That was 3 years ago. A lot has changed since then.

Sure has..he's making more $$$ and hittin' more pipe than Bobby Brown

I've been thinking about the NMC and NTC that Stan has been giving out with most of the signings he has made, and thought of t in a different light. Although most seem angry or puzzled over why they were given, I see tham as a respect-the-player type of thing. Players know that just by being in the sports business, they can be traded at any moment. So if I am a GM, I can sell to the player this type of senerio: Listen, we both know that you are a player, and teams have the ability to trade players. I will give you a NMC so you can be assured that you can have a say in a trade should we need to make one with you. You can tell us where you want to go, instead of us just shipping you out somewhere.

Respect - something some players know nothing about.

You call it respect, I call it bad business. If they don't want to be treated as the commodities that they are, they can go play in a beer league somewhere.

Ogi, every time I see Keith shoot at shinpads, I do think "bad business" with his contract. But I try to see things differently.

Sharks tie Bjacks at 3 with 5 min left in the 3rd...Pavelski sweeps home sweet feed

Turnover by Pavelski and Johansen SNIPES past Niemi with :90 ticks left in reg...Bjacks are DANGEROUS

Can I get my wish too?

Agreed. Once he fills out he is going to be really tough to stop. I'm glad they're leaving the west. With three first round picks, a lot of talent up and coming in Lumbus
