Rules are different for players who sign the ELC over 20 years old. Lundqvist was 22.
- truthbluth

he was 23, Dob 3-2-82 signed 7-29-05

If he were 22 when he signed he wouldn't have had arb rights.

You will be missed.....

Vinny does want 1yr deal to return back to Tampa next year as I assume we all know.

I think he ends up in DET although would be nice to see him in the blue and gold for 6 mil or higher.

Letang is a mess. Eff that guy. We dont need him cause I bet wed give up way too much.

Letang goes to MTL come draft time and that makes Lecavalier not able to play in his hometown and he picks DET instead as DET loses Fillipula.

Fucale has a very good chance to go to NJD with their first or if they trade down. They dont have a first next year correct? Marty era is almost over...

Fucale to philly.

No one would hate that!

I went back and looked at Perry's junior stats to compare. See that the second leading scorer on his team was Dylan Hunter. Thought to myself "that sounds awfully familiar".... yep, Sabres drafted him in the 9th round. Turned out to be a dud.

that poop is just gross....

81 g and 80 a in the last 2 years is no joke or fluke IMO.

Would anyone here pass on Lindholm for Risto or Nurse??

I don't think I would other than that Risto and Nurse are both considered in the NHL next year where Lindholm is a few years away.

But Sekera is still on the Sabres

that poop is just gross....

Is it just me or does the guy that gets shat on look to have evil intentions to the other guy right before it explodes?

that many bandwagoners huh?

I have never seen my facebook newsfeed so full of Hawks poop before in my life.. I bet if I asked 75% of those people to name 3 people on the team they couldn't.

"whats that dan? a team within an hour drive from here is actually worth a poop?? I better start claiming I am a fan right now! I have always loved the Bluehawks.. poop I mean blackhawks.."
- JVince11

you are less than an hour from Chicago? I figured you were further than that.. I am anywhere from 45 min to 2.5 hours from Chicago depending upon which office I work from that day..

Ok I'm out, need to get some shuteye before work.

Lindholm is a year away because hes staying in Sweden to honor whats left of his contract there. If his contract was up, hed be here this year.

Nurse, by all reports ive read do not have him NHL ready...

That's some funny poop, but the parade show mc's were talking about some of the atrocities over the years committed by the Hawks and probably the reason they had no fans. Terrible team, first period wasn't even on the radio ever, pay per view to watch them on tv. Horrible. They were talking about how internally they had no HR department. No player resources at all. They basically discouraged families of players from attending games. This was when Brian Campbell arrived. They've come a long way.

Yep at least a yr or 2, probably 3.

We dont have room for Nurse anyways at the moment, with our top 6 of Myers, Ehrhoff, Sekera, Weber, Ruedell, and Pysyk/McNabb.

my hometown in Wisconsin is 40 minutes away so a lot of my HS friends and family are still there.... where I live now in DM is like 5 hours.

Well he wasn't really a dud considering he was drafted 273rd. Looks like he was never really good to begin with.

More smoke than anything. lots of teams like nurse. dont see where he fits for us. we need more help up front first

If Lindholm or Monahan are there then by all means take them, but if both are off the board then I have no problem going iwht Nurse. Dman iwth size, speed and physicality. I'll take that all day at the draft.

Nichuskin/Lindholm at 8..

Mantha at 16.

Trade back into the 1st using the 2nds and another piece.

Take Morrissey/Morin/Puluck/Mueller around 20ish.

He would make for cheesy pun headlines for Garth.
