Depends on the compensation. Remember, it's 2015 picks, not 2014.

of course if that happened, I'd turn around and offer sheet Simon Despres.

and the 2015 thing is important because, Eichel and McDavid.

I had that argument with my fiancé too. It was a fun car ride home!

Also, The Big Lebowski is the most polarizing movie ever. My friends raved about it, so I felt I had to see it and I hated it.

- PhillySportsGuy


I have yet to see a Coen Bros film I didn't like. Lebowski just hit me perfectly. I was friends with guys who bowled in college and could really relate to how seriously they took it, like Walter.

Hell, I go to LebowskiFests...drink beer, bowl, win trivia contests and watch the movie with other maniacs

Depres? I offer sheet Brendan Dillon or Danny DeKeyser before him.
- mochoson


They'll get matched. Pens have a bad cap crunch and might not even worry about it.

AH? not really

a very forgettable movie, imo

Cooper is terrible and Bale has yet to truly wow me

- Crimsoninja


I thought it was decent. I expected a little more based on the cast. I thought Jennifer Lawrence was good.

I cant wait to trade Braydn Schenn and hear everyone here cry and female dog when he scores 30 goals next year at 23 and the defender we get plays like L Schenn

I'm not really considering Fiddler, he wants a raise and Dallas was happy to let him walk. Boyle, too, might not be a fit s part of the reason he might leave NY is because he wants a bigger role.

I'd love Dominic Moore. opposing players hate that guy.

- Jsaquella


I wanted Moore when I found out he was returning to hockey. Always loved him as a player.

As a Dallas fan as well, Fiddlers not worth a significant raise.

I'm not advocating a top line winger. I'm more in favor of giving Schenn strong, two-way linemates and putting together a 4th line that can do more than just provide 'energy.'
- PhillySportsGuy


I'd do that as well...I'm not all for trading Schenn. It'd have to be the right return. If he's here, he's the 2C and I play him with Voracek and maybe Hartnell, Read or an outside addition

yeah she and amy adams were the best probly, but the movie was just trying too hard to be too many different things, imo. just thought there was too much comedy involved for the dramatic scenes to really carry any weight

Great flick. I go cyclically and re-watch them all. Lately it's been Fargo & O Brother.

Wouldnt mind flipping Grossmann for a pick and then flipping the pick to the Hawks for Oduya. Hawks blogger says they're shopping him. Presumably trying to clear cap space for Towes and Kane. I like what Oduya brings.
- hereticpride


If Flyers move Grossmann, I would like someone a little bigger and more physical than Oduya with comparable mobility. Otherwise, the Flyers D core mix becomes like Dallas' this past season.

Yeah. I get that. The part where they meet with the bosses of AC didn't feel as tense as I think they hoped it would be.

Mark Fayne would be a good replacement for Grossmann. not as physical, but better with puck and good mobility for his size.

In my opinion Brayden Schenn isn't very good defensively, especially for a player compared to Mike Richards when he was drafted. However, I do believe Schenn can improve in sll three in all three zones of the ice, both defensively and offensively. This kid is more then what he's shown so far. By scoring 20 so young, our expectations should only rise.
