I guess somebody thought Matthew Dumba was a better prospect than TT, or fit their team better.

The draft assures you of nothing, as those teams who passed multiple times on Datsyuk and Zetterberg found out. And Datsyuk was about TT's size when they drafted him. He could have quit like a cheap plug running at Arlington Park, but instead developed into a great player, in part because he was surrounded by great players and mainly because he wanted to, himself.

I trust the assessment the brass seems to have made on TT - he can be a special NHL player if developed correctly and in a timely way. Early on, TT may get alot of practice time with Kane and Toews and not so much NHL time until he is ready for it.

I hope you're right and there is no need to rush him until.hes ready.
That's why I didn't get the 3 game cup of coffee. Was it a ploy? Audition?

Is there such a thing as a functional psych ward? Anyway, The first pair of good gloves I ever had was when the Kings came into the league. Purple and gold. Up to my elbow but I didn't care. Loved em.

I loved that sweater. Kings to me says purple and of course gold.

I also loved the north stars sweater.

Could always be worse.

The Gordon fisherman's. Sweater was horrid.

The original Coyote jerseys and the Vancouver Charlie Brown sweaters.

Yes to both also

Still gotta shed about 3m. Clear that 2.3 the Hawks are over and have between 500k and a M for the Rockford shuffle......

The original coyotes was horrible. Are you taking about the v Canucks aweater? Black red yellow o want to say?

Yeah this is really the bottom line, and ut is good to know the canadien press isn't as worried as this board is and thinking Sharp is going places:

The $168 million worth of extensions for Toews and Kane mean the Blackhawks have much of their core group locked up through the 2016-17 season. Bowman could face some sticky situations with the salary cap in the coming years, but his team should be a Stanley Cup contender for a while.

So no massive dispersal of top end talent.

Deal leddy ...deal rosi. For a 6th... and call it a day

I think Versteeg and Rozy if you can find a taker for both. Rozy for sure.

Next year Sharp and _________?

If you can get a return of a depth guy and picks/prospects this year for Sharp I think you have to consider it.

taking teuvos 830 whatever off. I think he's destined to start in Rockford. Maybe regardless of his training camp.

So 1.3 with 22 guys and you'll need another 800 -1m for call up.

I still cannnot figure out why the Canucks has Golden Seal insignias except with an Orca?

I don't see how leddy and Oduya are on this team come Oct of 2015. 1 has to go.

Should have had that in parentheses; that's what I was thinking.

My point is audition time for young players shouldn't be in April/May.
Q had the pedal to the floor from Oct and the Hawks never really ever took control of the Division.

He needs to change as JJ said may not have a choice.
Coach like Babcock and Sutter...Use the regular season to work out kinks and to give kids time to learn...Not when the stakes and pressure is the highest.

Couldn't agree more, Al

Awful. Who the hell designed that and who bought one?

Dshiddy? I miss him. I miss the lively Canucks board hate. Now they are in shambles. Going to he years until we see.them touting beska for Norris.

Next pair of gloves were Winwell north stars gloves about 6 years later. The Cooper Kings gloves were still too long. Had a north stars jersey too.

I think that's what the original klingon's looked like in star trek

I wonder if the Sharp return isn't suffice enough to get bowman to jump this year.

Next year you look at Spezza as sharp becomes a 1 year Rental for the other team.

Very curious to see how bowman makes this all work.

I have a pair of win wells. I also used a wood stick in my men's league game and caught all kinds of crap. I have a composite but it's a joke how easy that thing bends. I know some guy will slash it and I'll be out $$$

That's a sweater a movie busts out when the budget dries up. Look at that thing. Awful. How does that get approved?

I know this might hurt there chances a bit this year but I am hoping for; some team to give them some sort of package that includes a prospect who projects top 6.

The FO now has ZERO trade/deal leverage going forward as everyone now knows how screwed they are against the cap. Even the freaking Oilers and the Sabres can play hardball now.

But at least McD has his convention storyline intact. Bring on the bobble heads.
