So hes a shutdown center?

He's an under-performing scorer.

Or a center that seems to get shut down often.

Thats what it looks like to me, so why do some want him on our team?

I say this year try to get another top 10 pick (5 or 6 or 7) without giving 8 up. We should have 4 first rounders. Get either 2 forwards and a d or 2 d and a forward plus Fucale in the late teens/early 20s.

2014 we will pick top 3, get Dman Ekblad.

2015, i dont care if we go 0-82 GET MCDAVID, hes the next crosby.

Then we can be like the pittsburghs and chicago's

They be banning people's

I am mystified as to all the love Darcy and Lindy have for Stafford.

Did they not watch him play every night last year?

Stafford is the perfect employee. He never questions anyone or anything, never bad mouths anyone. That's why they like him.

I don't think it's that people want him so much as they want Stafford out, and if you take back Burmistrov, you are getting him at $2.5M less then Stafford pending his RFA deal status.

That is very commedable, but at some point you have to put that aside and look at his production, or lack thereof, and his compete level on the ice.

Not defending it, just explaining it. He competed, just couldn't score.

He competed on the perimeter. IMO he's a guy who genuinely doesn't care about being a great player

That is precisely my point.

Anyone seen Homer around here lately?

What's he saying about the team leading up to the draft?

Unless people were trapped in the submerged locker-rooms, not really. That seriously has to suck though... Could you imagine if they couldn't play there during next season? Where would they go?

Calgary play their home games in Seattle. Flames get a temporary home and the NHL gets to test drive a team in the emerald city.

There's a million rinks they could play the games in. I just don't know what they'll do for revenue.

Calgary is halfway to being the city of Atlantis right now.

They are banning people in the main thread for Calagary water jokes so I better ease off. July 5th is a pretty stiff punishment

Did you see that one guy going at me in there earlier? It was insane. Had to be an alt account of someone.

I like Calder winning Defensemen that may or may not be on the Sabres. That should be a dead giveaway

Good news from the Saddledome. They are adding a swim-up bar
