I think Chicago goes out early this year, and ends up declining. Similar to how Boston has declined this year. Their core is getting older, with limited prospects and cap space. This will be their best year in the next while IMO

It's amazing to me how Detroit does it. They just churn out quality players and stay relevant

at least the canes won tonight

common ground?

If the Blues had Miller they would be a lock






I kid.....

it's going to be crazy if the blues and hawks meet in the first rd

I can see St. Louis sweeping them, but at the same time I can see Chicago really battling and making it a series. I'm sure that everyone in that franchise knows that it's not getting better for them any time soon. They'll decline from here IMO.

And go figure they're all steals. From Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Lidstrom originally, and now Tatar and Nyquist. Don't they have a certain European scout that is well known for finding those types of under-the-radar guys? Can't remember the name. I think he might have been a former player.

Found it, it's Håkan Andersson. He's the director of European scouting. The man is a legend.

That he is. Hopefully we can have half of the success they have had

Apparently Andersson discovered Datsyuk while scouting Dmitiri Kalinin, and he noticed Datsyuk on the other team

I like Nolan but here he goes again thinking he's Coach and GM
- SABRES 89

He can't be either coach or GM.
Mike Harrington acts like he has both jobs.

I just found it.

So is that all for the night? Going to have to wait until tomorrow to see what all that Bruin trade stuff is about?

Who's running that team, George McPhee?

"Everybody get down to the arena. Bring the TV crew. You aren't going to want to miss this"

(Vanek deal falls through)

"Sh!t. Get me somebody. Anybody. And get me somebody while I'm waiting"

(trades Forsberg for Erat)

I hope Murray maximizes the return for Stewie. I think the rest of our guys will go for basic chump change.

the Vermette trade takes another guy off the market plus drives up the value. That is what I'm hoping

SOB! St Louis goes up 2-1

Edmonton has given up a go-ahead goal late in the 3rd a lot lately.

Stewart should be the best available player on deadline day now.
