Give Yak to McJesus, He's already got one tool on his left hand, might as well put the nail in his right.

That's the point...

That turris is the inspirational role model for all underachieiving players?

I’m glad somebody got it.

That roster is hot garbage outside of a few players.

And the Rangers?

Just means you don't have the puck. Sure, the points are all fine and dandy, but if your shot suppression isn't even at a 3rd pairing level anymore.. what's the point?
- j.boyd919


Shot suppression? I thought that was what Price was for.

Reid Boucher also did that 2 years after he was drafted, not before like Nail, so your argument has no merit at all.

If that helps you sleep better at night, then good. But no matter how you slice it Yak was a pretty bad #1 pick.

The Oil got Larsson for their best winger. I can't imagine them getting much for Yak although I believe he will be amazing on a new team. I am thinking someone like Brett Lernout and maybe a 3 or 4 round pick. Lernout is not amazing but he does resemble the type of players Chiarelli drafted this year.

It's ok I hate my team too.
- Feds91Stammer


Those two have both been my teams before (Habs a while back, Oil more recently).

Still don't understand people who defend the Weber deal or the Larsson deal. Actually given the Oiler's long term desperation for RHD the Larsson deal is a little easier for me to understand. Still I wouldn't defend either and I certainly wouldn't be in denial about Weber's decline.

Lernout is (frank)ing garbage. That he was drafted at all is laughable.

It's more about following where your natural interests lie and not arbitrarily being attached to one particular logo. I don't see the point in pretending that the Avs are still my favorite team just because they were my fav team when I was < 10 yo.

Mostly I just like watching talented hockey players and I tend to lean towards Canadian teams.

They are solid. Possibly the 4th best team in the east behnd WSH, PIT, and TBL.

I have 29 favorite teams in the league. Can you guess which one I don't like?

Yeah, when I was a little kid they were in their glory years with Blake, Bourque, Sakic, Roy and Forsberg so I liked following them the most. Sue me.

I don't run around declaring who my 'favorite' team is and pretend to be the best fan that team has or any of that stupid poop. My interest just slowly changes over time and I don't try to fight it.

I like hockey in general, I like watching talented players, I don't tie my undying loyalties to one particular city/logo. All of the important aspects of an organization (in my opinion) change over time anyways so why shouldn't my interests?

Agreed.
Need to trade a couple forwards for a (hopefully) top pairing D though...
