I have a soft spot for Nash, I don't know why, just love watching him play when he's on his game.

With guys like Kreider, Zuccarello, Fast, Miller coming up I wonder what it would take to pry him away

Same as Gibson, you're buying into the potential that he will be great (showed it during the regular season).


He's also only 20 years old.

I am not sure why a team would move a young promising goaltender on an entry-level or 2nd RFA contract - when they could be signed cheap and groomed into a starter role. Every team needs a backup, and, for example, Vasilevsky is an ideal, cheap asset for the Lightning, who face no pressure to decide who to keep next season.

It's a situation where we'd have to make an offer they couldn't refuse, and I don't think 'tending, which right or not is basically the running back of the NHL in terms of asset management, would be a smart place to do so.

2015 has something to say about that

Agreed. The best series of the entire playoffs this year is going to be the WCF. It was the same way last year too.

I agree. It's why I think we end up with Lehner. They now have 3 guys under contract and only room for 2 of them.

I am very, very glad that stuff goes on when it does. I have terrible insomnia, and that nightime posting is like sweet sweet medicine.

Seems Murray has been in contact with them in regards to one of them as well. I don't believe it was said which one specifically, but my guess based on Murray's previous comments is that it would be Lehner.

Or Anderson, though that's be risky for Ottawa, and the price would be higher.

Anderson doesn't fit based on Murray's comments though. He's looking for a younger guy and one that's BIG. Lehner fits into both of those criteria.

Misleading stat of the day. Bishop has a .917 Sv% this post season. If TB loses this series it is all on him.

He has posted some whoppers
.808
.792

And I bet all of those are at home. They posted his home stats vs his away stats last night for the series and it was crazy. 4 goals against on the road, 15 at home.

Question for the Canadians on here: I'm contemplating a trip to St. John's NF in October.

Can anybody tell me why a flight from Toronto to St. John's is 2 and a half hours, but the return flight from St. John's to Toronto is 4 hours?

- HonkFortheGoose

i really wouldn't mind taking a chance on Lehner if he is had for cheap.. he was supposed to be good and has shown glimpses.. a change of scenery and a new set of goaltending coach eyes might help him get over the hump. But if not it was worth a shot and we didn't give much up.

Say no to hammond and i think anderson is too old for TM
