I can't deny his skills... but his attitude and sense of entitlement aren't wanted. You really think he'd play 2nd line?

Wow, the oilers are so undesirable to watch that they're taking Connor off the schedule ??!

Side note; make us an offer for yakupov. He could use a change in scenery.
Just don't think you have the assets we'd want for eberle. Or more accurately not willing to part with the assets we'd want (risto- maybe girgensens)

We are slow, slow, slow

We need speed and more skill. I don't think we will be able to rid our selves of all of our problems in the near future but we can greatly improve by the end of the deadline and set our selves up for some moves this summer.

Eventually Moulson needs to go no matter how we make it happen. Franson obviously needs to go but who is going to take him hurt? I would love to see Gionta gone as well but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I agree with many that some of our younger players such as Foligno should have panned out by now. Move them.

Keep the core of

Eichel, ROR, Kane, Reinhart, Girgensons, Ristolainen, Bogos, McCabe, Georges, Lehner

The rest should be up for grabs

Sure maybe.... but at 44 Jagr is going to have a bond with a wheelchair sooner than later. (YES i know he still plays very well but i doubt in what could be the last year of his career he wants to play in Buffalo)

Crosby was pretty bad at Faceoffs early on

This is a good post. Asset management beyond the core---and I love our core (that sounded funny)---is where TM is going to make or break our Cup chances.

Edmonton wants good stuff for their stuff. We got good stuff last year but had to give a lot of stuff away. New stuff comes in every year and most of it is useless stuff.

Speed is almost always good stuff.

He did throw a punch, I mean it's not like he punched a minor or beat his wife/gf, I don't know I still think the NFL suspends him for a game.
- Stripes77


According to his side of the story, it wasn't a punch, it was a quick grasp for the officer's hands to remove them from his friend.

McCoy's hands were photographed after the incident and were found to not be bruised or cut.

Hard to prove that a punch was thrown.

And I wish Tim Murray would take out the players he's going to trade because it looks like those players are going to be injured and we're going to be screwed the West is going to beat the crap out of us

Ducks looked tougher than us and way faster than us.

Our guys were falling all over the ice.

Unless Fasching pans out. McNabb would not be a top 2 defenseman here. He's a good player there because he's also surrounded by good players in LA. Here he'd be another good piece but let's not say we traded away a top 2 guy. I'm not saying I like/dislike the trade, just not going to say that he's a top 2 defenseman.
- Zschalberg



I agree
I haven't liked that trade from the moment it happened, mostly bc I though McNabb would be a solid part of our defense
He's not a "top2" guy, but he has spent a lot of time with Doughty so they can balance out their pairs. And from what I've seen (I watch LA a lot), he's holding his own for sure.
Just imagine if he & Pysyk were our 3rd pair...
We'd have had one heck of a strong defense
I pictured McCabe eventually with Risto and Zadorov with Myers

Fasching still needs to work on his skating,
But it has gotten considerably better...
If we get one of the top forwards in this draft, I think he's our most appealing trade piece to another team for a young defenseman

I know I was pretty embarrassed watching them live it's kind of hard to cover up your jersey when you have nothing else on the game could have so went out of hand

Are we hating on Fasching again today?

Sounds like fun.

McNabb is great, Fasching blows, those 2nd round picks are Shea Weber and Drew Brees, Meyers for Norris, Joel Armia next Hart trophy winner, Laynor not worth 1st round pic he suxx

For those talking about McNabb earlier:

Dennis Bernstein Retweeted Marcus Andersson

More acute need is D. McNabb has played himself down to 3rd pair minutes, Schenn lack foot speed for top 4

Not hating on Fasching at all. Just discussing the rumors that he doesn't plan on signing here next year and will go back to school and then become a Free Agent
