If Winnepeg is getting ready to move Buff and Kane... I dont know how you dont take a stab at them both. Who the hell knows what you would have to include in the deal though.

Morin, Laughton, Simmonds, Coburn, 2 firsts

Kane-Giroux-Voracek
Hartnell-Schenn-Lecavalier
Read-Couturier-Downie
Raffl-Hall-Rinaldo

Timonen-Buff
Streit-Schenn
Grossmann-Meszaros

Fair deal...if you're trading players by the pound.

Otherwise, that's quite a bit of future you're giving away.

Giving up Coburn: creating a hole in the D.

Picking up Buff: creating a hole in the D.

Doing both? A nightmare.

Let alone all the other assets being thrown around willy nilly while the Flyers are winning and climbing the standings.

Who said anything about drinking and partying?

There wasn't enough information in that article to make an informed opinion either way.

Oshawa is terrible so far.

Laughton is a minues 3 & looks sluggish.

How could that be? Wasn't he supposed to be the savior of our defense?

I remember an interview with him in the past about whether he preferred playing forward or D. He replied he wanted to play the most minutes possible and he got more ice time playing D.

I wish NHL Network could work out a deal to televise more Junior games. It would be fun if they organized the best match ups for Friday nights. Maybe a double header or something.

Not sure how much attention they'd get from the States. I would definitely watch!

It's everywhere. Soon NFL will be flag football, NHL will become the No Hitting League, and MLB will force their pitchers to wear helmets like tee ball pitchers while not being able to crush the catcher at home plate.

How much more information do you need to make an informed opinion on the content of the article? What the coach had for lunch?

He was told not to run up the score on crappy schools... too spare those kids the embarrassment of realizing how much they suck... and he was fired for it.

It's pretty cut and dry.
