Damn I knew we were getting hosed here. I don't know much about seattle. But damn to be the worst New york has to be 4. Unless nobody drives since it sucks so much

Think that is part of the deal in NY is people just use a lot of public transportation. It's also part of the problem in Seattle; they have virtually none.

Didn't make the top 3 in this one; was about 5 years ago.

You as well. How clever

I didn't want to disappoint....

It won't work for more than a season. Schenn is a RFA and Kadri has one year left on his deal. Both will want more than 3 per.

And your 3rd line will kill Q.
- Elbows15

I actually thought of keeping bickell with toews for chemistry and to spread scoring around. JVR and Kadri wouldn't be bad together. Shaw can take some dumb penalties but he might be good there. But they might need someone better defensively on the right side

It will be announced along with Nielsen being acquired as Hawks 2C for Leddy and Morin.

This is how Elbows will look when this happens...

Kings are actually very popular in LA and do sell out or are near capacity quite often.....they also compete against the ducks as well.
- UnnamedSource

Yeah I'm sure competing with anaheim plays a role. They do sell out but their ratings aren't the best. I do think this might be the start of a little bump. Such a great team that will be competitive for a long time. Plus all the drama they went through this year with all the great comebacks. If this doesn't get people on the bandwagon nothing will

I hope the kid is the REAL deal. I still think he is a future RW in the NHL and Hossa/Kane are blocking that. They still need a LARGE center if they decide to go with TT in the 2 hole and KRuger in 3 or 4. They cant' roll out small centers as we saw how that worked vs LA.

As far as proof? There is no proof on either end if he's good or bad. He's a prospect. So until he puts up points in the NHL level I'm not going to view him as some untouchable can't miss guy. Dave Bolland once dominated the OHL....so did Kris Draper and how did that translate to their NHL game?

However it translates, their names' are engraved on the Cup several times..

Ok so I won't be the new GM but I can still contribute in Other Important ways

Indeed, get all your voodoo talismans ready for some reverse mojo in next year's playoffs.

No reason you can't be an internet GM like the rest of us after some of the stuff I've seen on here.

Sweet dreams fellas.... Another day closer to the draft .

Yup.....me

Opening day means little but will he be
here through the Holidays...I have my doubts.

“If true, I’m not that surprised — a little sad, but not surprised,” said Handzus, who said he had not spoken to his agent, Matt Keator, or Hawks general manager Stan Bowman about his situation. “I didn’t play well enough this year to earn a spot next year — that’s the bottom line.

“They have a young guy coming in with Teuvo (Teravainen), and obviously they’re going to give him a chance. They have a lot of great players who can play center. There’s a lot of flexibility.”

From Kuc's article in the Trib yesterday. I guess he is as bad a skater as he an evaluator of their C depth....

Consider it done. At the least I'm using all my powers to get a rematch with LA.

From what I have heard, worst. Never been there myself. Relatives have.

#NYI trade 5th overall pick, Adam Pelech, and Frans Nielsen to CHI for the 27th overall pick, Nick Leddy and Kris Versteeg
