And like he's 9ft tall.

He was trying to squat down to get the pick with my girls and then just said, ah the hell with it I'm kneeling down.

Does the place you landlord for have windows. If so board them up, you'll make a hell of a lot more money.

Another great Lucas article!

I assume Matthews has to sign his ELC or he will not be able to play in Hockey World Cup since it is a NHL sponsored tournament?

They are family for sure, but the Wedding is a family event, where you grow your family, and see your extended family, and welcome a new person into your family, and the game is a sporting event where you watch one of your kids run around for an hour.

And let's be honest, it's Wales.

You have to be unbelievably bad at soccer to not make the national team. There's, what, 60 dudes in the entire "country"?

Doesn't make sense to risk him getting hurt playing at a weight that's too small for the NHL, burning a year of ELC, when we have more pressing decisions to make with our kids (Hyman, Brown, Soshnikov, Rychel, etc.).

Except he's better then all them and he's going to weigh like 5 pounds more the next season cause he already says he doesn't want to put on alot of weight. Sure.

I truly believe that 40 games in the NHL and a full season of NHL practices would be much better for Marner next season than another year in junior.

Took back some money in trades. Greening, Michalek, etc. Still includes Cowen's cap hit as well. Lupul will be off the books in two seasons. It's only temporary.

Oh ok. Makes sense. I was sooooo confused. Which isnt hard to do though. So does your top prospects make the team or they hiding them for another year to shed some more players first? I think our top two might be given a real chance to make it but im not sure.

That's a really good point.

He's not going to turn into Matthews size after one more year of junior.

Maybe he will still be just around 5'11" and 170 lbs. Then what???

Who knows he doesn't want to put on alot of weight because he doesn't want to lose a step pretty sure i read. He's not getting much bigger. 5'11 180 pound Soshnikov is a lock, 5'11 170 pound Marner who is a lot better is too small.

I believe Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Brown, Zaitsev will all be on the opening night roster.

Your roster is full already. How do they all fit? Id also worry about the expansion draft after this one coming up. You know they will bring another team in the following year. You have to protect your players with nmc and risk leaving second year completed players available.
