I'm sooo going to get a bann most likely... its EK rumor time, and hes citing wrong sources
- Guile

I thought about calling him out but didnt...

Also this yrs draft is deep and pens have no picks... very unsettling seeing how pens have no one in pipeline after kap and sundqvist....

We have a 2nd rounder, which in this draft's hype, should be as viable as a late 1st.

anyone else have to use HB with their task manager open because flashplayer keeps crashing?

Nah, but are you getting ads? Might have to block them, they are utilizing flash.

Looks like a lot not wanting him... I was thinking 3.5 mil for 3 years on him would be near no downside... especially trading Sutter for him. Kunitz I wouldn't be huge on, but the risk vs reward would be quite solid if he doesn't continue tanking.

You can add Rust and Wilson to that list. They may not be not high end but they're future NHLers

Stick him with Sutter and BB....that line would be softer than a journey song.

We haven't seen it bc guys like adams and sill are/ were blocking them.... yes Wilson has torn it up in wbs but haven't seen it in nhl level. As for rust they gave him a chance and he couldn't finish... with kap and sund. They are at least playing at a higher level overseas against talented players...sso there's hope

Murray right now is pretty close to elite on the AHL level. He has really took advantage of the opportunities he's been afforded. He's very calm in the net and sees the puck/play well in front of him. Having Zatkoff there as a mentor helps a lot as well. He has gotten caught a few times leaving the net at inopportune times but it really hasn't cost him either. Going down the stretch I have full confidence in him. I don't forsee his youth or inexperience putting the teams success in jeopardy in anyway. He's a stout goalie who I can see challenging in Pitt in the offseason for a backup spot.

No to Alex Bongo Drums Semin... Just no

Even if it is at 3.5... It's for 3 more years.... And this is for a guy that disappears for long periods of time. Invest in some fast hardworking players like Atkinson... It will pay off.

I will say being that i sit directly behind the back up goalie on the tunnel in WBS and every time I see Murray without his helmet, and I laugh because the kid looks 14 or 15 years old.
