They aren't just a goalie away. They need two top defensemen, a top goalie and can use a power forward in the top 6

Thanks man, I hope so too.

I'm sure something will come up shortly. You'd think there would be a lot of donors there...

You would think but there's not. Less than 25% of people in Ontario are registered donors. Currently, there is 1500 people of the waiting list for organ transplant.

That ship has sailed

Chances are they need to develop their own.

I wanted Maroon. (frank) can't believe he went through waivers and the oil didn't claim him last year.

i think Ottawa is going to need to decide fairly quick who to keep between Anderson and Lehner.
- AlEx_OiL


Yep, I hope Mac-T is callin the lisp.

Of course Murray has all the cards.

The problem is that's how he plays. I said for awhile the guy has poop for brains defensively and brings down his partners, but no it was N.Schultz who was the problem. The kid needs to play third pairing minutes and loads of PP time. I don't know if he'll ever get it or if he'll just be a more offenisve MAB.

Then bench him for a game so he can watch how his rushes to the end line (frank) with everything. His best chances to contribute have been good shots from 10-15ft in from thew blue line.

I hope Mitch Moroz or Jujhar Khaira are the ones.

Really? That's lower than I expected...

Do you have any idea how many of those people get a transplant each week/month/year?

Hopefully they go a similar route as Vancouver, and we can target Lehner

I think Moroz has a ceiling of Kyle Clifford.

Lucic was already in the league at 19

I know... I think it would be a crime if he gets sent down. He's having trouble hitting the net, but the fact that he even puts himself in a position to score so often says a lot. Plus he's great at faceoffs, and he does have what? 5 assists? He's a plus 4 player too I believe...

In Ontario:
Presently, 1,476 patients are waiting for an organ transplant in Ontario.

During 2012, 1,030 organ transplants were done:

deceased kidney donors = 385 transplants
living kidney donors = 197 transplants
kidney-pancreas = 23 transplants
deceased liver donors = 189 transplants
living liver donors = 58 transplants
heart = 74 transplants
lung = 104 transplants

For more information about Ontario statistics, visit the Trillium Gift of Life Network.
In Canada:
During 2011, 2,115 organ transplants were performed:

deceased kidney donors = 782 transplants
living kidney donors = 456 transplants
liver donors = 482 transplants
heart = 151 transplants
heart-lung = 2 transplants
lung (single or double) = 172 transplants
kidney-pancreas = 53 transplants
pancreas = 15 transplants
intestine = 2 transplants

Unfortunately, another 4,543 Canadians remained on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant, and 265 patients died while waiting.

Except when Gagner comes back he'll get sent down because Eakins will want someone who can finish those gifts. Also He'd be terrible on the 4th line so he gets sent down

If it's something you really want to do, make it known to your parents. Kids need transplants too. You can be a hero.

I'm pretty sure my dad does, and I live in Ontario, but for lungs, probably won't help anyone, considering he smokes.
