Seriously, has anyone considered that Weise looks like the most likely to get taken in the expansion draft now?

The Boyd signing has even underwhelmed Ek, he has not added it to his Free Agent tracker yet

I think it's an AHL deal. Doubt he sees NHL time but you never know.

If Gordon is a callup/AHL player fine, but that isn't upgrading the 4C. Christ I'd rather have PEB as 4C by a country mile.

It's alright. I think I misunderstood her question. I thought she was saying, "hey, we need to get McDonald pro time so we can expose him."

Just struck me as funny but probably because I'm skimming here today.

- mayorofangrytown


yeah maybe...just saying he doesnt have to play to get exposed...i doubt they take an AHLer with that contract though

Yea, I think he surprises a lot of people this year. I could see him cracking 40 points honestly. I think he and Schenn are very similar... also think both are better suited as permanent wingers.. Having Laughton set in a spot and not bounced around will certainly help him.

I get it: he takes an ungodly amount of d draws and is good at faceoffs. So is Paul Gaustad. They're awful or at best nonexistent as soon as the puck drops. There is a lot more to taking shifts than a 1 second faceoff.

who gets picked is entirely up to the goalie situation in my opinion. If we expose either Mason or Neuvirth with term, they will be picked
