While i agree with the fact that you shouldn't mess with something that works i would look to spread out the secondary scoring ( as we lack it) in the form of moving Burrows off the 1st line. Furthermore if this Dalpe kid has the passing ability/finishing as advertised then we have so many interchangeable parts for the bottom 9.

One thing i think many Canucks fans forget is the fact that our powerplay dropped from one of the top 3 in the league over the last few years to 22nd last season under AV's burned out ass. If that gets fixed it will be smooth sailing to the playoffs, its the post season identity that remains to be seen.

No Erhoff and an injured Kesler.

Damnit, Reimer alone tops any offer that I can come up with. I'm out.

Wait for it, wait, wait - and Raymond.

BOOM motherfrankers.

poop, I would be happy to see the third round again.

Yes...a little kidding around. I don't yet have a handle on how this team will perform -- especially with all the new youth in the lineup (sic!).

I'm torn between Detroit and Ott in the east. The pens get a goalie and look out. And I think Toronto is going to be close but miss the playoffs. Toronto is the Cubs. Ontario little lovable loser.



Also my neighbour just had a little boy and named him Bo

Will he send him down/back? Bo junior?

My goalie situation is much the same as last year....tragic!!!

I think I'm going through troll withdrawal.

Luongo trade

Kessel sucks


Schneider is a top 3 goalie

Ian Esplen


That should liven things up for you

Really, I'm just wondering how you can spread something out that you don't have?

Like Bilbo always says, "...like butter spread over too much bread"

I think having professional bloggers on HB now will go a long way to preventing future trolling on either of our teams blogs which is never a bad thing.

I never understood why a website that takes itself so seriously with constant banning would allow such BS bloggers to cover teams. Every fan on this site deserves a professional blogger like Yost or Augello. We want the facts, not biased trolling garbage.

Buffalo Sabres fans....... your day will come, I promise

It might be to late.

Remember Leaf fans telling us we were in cap hell. How things can change.

Thursday feels like it will never get here, I guess tomorrows games will have to do.

Question: in what period will Kessel chop down Parros for looking at him?

Eventually he will have to report to Obi Won Shanahan.

Don't worry, it's just pre-season. An experienced, proven troll like yourself has nothing to troll for right now. You'll get plenty to work with once Luongo gets pulled, Torts blows up, Booth kills an animal, Luongo/Booth tweet, etc.

Nah, we have future buffers in place so that will never happen again........ called Orr and Mclaren

Plus most tough guys aren't as stupid as John uhhhh whatever his last name is. Doesn't matter

Personally, I think it's a joke that Scott and other tough guys who can't play a regular shift in the NHL have jobs over more talented players. Yes, I understand the protection/intimidation factor, but if I as that desperate for team toughness, I'd rather overpay for a tough guy that can actually play via trade or free agency.

Fixed

t appears that center Chris Mueller and defenseman Kevin Connauton have won roster spots and will appear in the opening-night lineup for new coach Lindy Ruff when the Stars host the Florida Panthers at the American Airlines Center on Wednesday night.

Increase the rink size, even to just the hybrid size at the WCs, and those goons will fade away from memory...

It needs more blood and dismemberment.
