What a team full of "gutless pukes" they were, to quote one poster here at the time.

that was high wire entertainment at it's finest for me

It's July... What % of NHL teams do not know who the starting goaltender is?
- PLindbergh31

Islanders, maybe Edmonton, Calgary, Minny, maybe Florida, ?Tampa Bay

who else?

I can't think of any more

Other fan bases think Carle is soft as butter. Just go on the TB forum and see.
- Feanor

That's because TB isn't exactly a hotbed of hockey knowledge. I mean, really? We want to use them as the measuring stick?

People here wanted six Dan McGillises when you need good first passes to move up ice. Six Denis Gauthiers or Derian Hatchers will make for a lot of good hit highlights -- and losses.

Penguins, as there's rampant MAF talk (not today, but earlier in the week).
Buffalo (they want to trade Miller)
Calgary, I guess, not that Kepper's gone.

TB was awful defensively 2 years ago, they added Carle, and somehow got worse.

lol @ Denis Gauthier. He did have a hell of a hit on Nedved. Smoked him on (sorta) national TV (OLN).

Well of course. Through the benefit of hindsight we can all say we loved that team.

I think you have to put the Flyers in that mix. I think Markstrom is Florida's guy, and Bishop is the man in Tampa. I agree on Edmonton, Calgary, and Minny.

Would love for the Flyers to pry away either Ottawa goaltender. Not likely though.

I'd blow Dallas away with an offer for Campbell.

looks like Vinny is leaning towards Dallas.....damn, 0-4 going back to last off-season.
- flyersfan51


Eh, I'm ok with it if the Flyers don't get Vinny.

Perhaps as many as 20%? It's a little early to play that card though, considering free agency hasn't begun.

Not sure they would want to move him. I wonder what Bill's opinion of Kari Lehtonen would be. I know Bill blogs for the Stars as well. The games I saw him play last year (granted not a lot) he was stellar.

Early or not, I would prefer to be in the 80%, wouldn't you?

They aren't getting Vinny. And I don't think it's a bad thing if they don't.

Flyers and Isles are at the top of that list
EDM has Dubnyk
Minny and Calgary are question marks too.

Ottawa might give us Anderson in a year or two when Lehner is the man.

might be done at 36 ( or is he 37 now?)

Salo is solid too when healthy
