Pronger
- JVince11

Again, outlier. Even Pronger started to look like an All-Star by his 3rd or 4th season.

No one is saying Fowler is bad. He is not. Just don't expect 50 points from him when he's been a career 30-35 point guy.

Same with Bogo. I don't expect he is going to stop getting injured yearly or all of the sudden think the game better.

If either happens, we got lucky

Another 2nd round pick?

It would have to be for dumping someone? Anything more?

Just caught it on another site, nothing more than that Vincent.

Both of our top lines have a two way center in ROR and Eichel. Our top line with also have Kane. Our 2nd line could have the likes of a Fasching/Bailey/power forward on it as well. Vesey is a 2 way player as well.

That is the outline that I fill whenever I do lines. You want a 2 way center, a power forward and a guy that buries the bisquit.

- JVince11


Yeah I think we're alright as 2way forwards go. I like Fowler, he improves our defense but I don't see him drastically improving all of a sudden. I actually thought that about ROR before we had him so my opinion is worthless and if Fowler wears the jersey, I'll be rooting for him.

I have to imagine they are trying to get another 2nd rounder in order to package it with another deal to get the player they really need.

Even though we have what... 3 next year?

Agreed 100%. Not sure if it was turned down or not. Things are gonna get real come tomorrow. I think we'll see 4-5 trades and 1-2 of them fairly significant.

And rumors are just that. Rumors.

There have been plenty more rumors thrown around, but he seems to bring them up and poof they happen.

Which means that we could have Stamkos, Vesey, and Fowler. With the 8th pick still to be had if he's correct on everything.

If this plays out I will be very happy.

Ducks don't have a cap problem, they just operate within a certain budget.

I appreciate all the inside info you guys post here. I understand it is usually acquired from someone who knows someone. Or close ties.

It's better than waiting for something on the news.

- cabin


I saw Curtis Lazar's sister working in the deli section of our local grocery store the other day. Does that count for inside info?

But seriously, I agree. 39/89 and others seem to have some good intel from the inside. It may not be perfect 100% of the time but things change all the time during talks/negotiations. Keep it coming fellas and disregard the nay sayers.....

Yup, Ennis would be attractive option as his salary is now lower than his actual cap hit.
