I wasn't going out into that effing field there were dudes bombing golf balls all over the place.

And I only hit it 120. If it had gone 180 or 200 I might have strolled on out and told them to kiss my crack.

If you thought it was going to be a power TShirt, you're going to be disappointed.

You have to think after VZ signs with Boston Murray will make a few moves, finish off the roster.

That would be an interesting bet - where does Vesey sign? You're taking Boston, I'm taking the Hawks. All the Leaf posters will be taking the Leafs....

True I hate that signing still.

Based on what 89 said, maybe Fowler is on Murray's radar first. Not sure on Nash although I wouldn't have a problem with it. I think once Vesey signs Murray could pull the trigger on Fowler.

Maybe the big galoot Franson will get us a 3rd come March, depending on if we are still hunting for a playoff position or not.

My bet is still buffalo. Juri hudler is a decent LW consolation prize for any loser in the Vesey can chase

We should start a poll, where does he sign with?

1. Buffalo
2. Boston
3. Chicago
4. Toronto
5. Other
6. Cambridge mens senior B

I would do Hudler on a 2 year deal, 3 per.

When I found out last night that the Fowler talk was on again, was told Murray would have given a 2nd for Vesey's rights instead of a 3rd, still knowing he's waiting until the 15th.

Could he trade a 2nd or did it have to be a 3rd ? i'm not good with picks

I heard Bylsma likes to look at his forwards in pairs, understand he did that in Pittsburgh. So when he looks at pairs, he'll just fill in the other position with a player to form his lines.

ROR-Okposo
Eichel-Reinhart
Kane-Girgs

My guess is this how it looks in theory. What players do you fill those lines with?

If Vesey signs with Buffalo then I would pass on Hudler and take my chances with Kane to round out the top 6. Use the Hudler $$ to fund another solid defencemen. If Vesey signs elsewhere (likely), then I would entertain Hudler at 2 years X $3 million. 1 year would be better.

Agreed on your point if we do get Vesey we won't need Hudler.

Using your idea of getting a d man for 3 per, not sure there are many ufa's left for that kind of money. I wouldn't mind Seidenberg but you could probably get him on a 1 year 2m deal, something like that. If we get Fowler I doubt we target another dman.

No need for power shirts.
Im actually currently working in the "hard hat industry."
Everyone be careful. I may start comparing mediocre defencemen to how many thermostats I can install in an hour.
I just finished my 2nd week. But I can confidently say that if you have ever touched a thermostat, I probably installed it. Because im the best.

And all joking aside, i really never really minded BHH.

He could've. A 2nd would've been a head scratcher though. Trading one of 4 3rd rounders made sense.

Very astute observation. Vesey with eichel/Sam, Ennis with look/O'Reilly, Bailey with girgs and Kane. Means I have nothing for Moulsen or delo as 4th line is gionta, Larsson and foligno

Why would he have traded a 2nd when he got his rights for a 3rd. My source (player not front office) stil thinks vesey comes to Buffalo. Though things certainly can change when vesey gets to talk to teams. Source does not think he'll go to Boston . Remember i said a couple of weeks ago that Sam and jack were moving into together (confirmed today) and have extra room for one more person (not confirmed today). Btw, Kane probably stays even if we get Vesey. I haven't heard any talk about Fowler, though hopefully Homer is right. Not surprising as players are often not in the know.
