Iggy passed through the place where shooter and I live and he was too smart to stop in for a beer.

And I'm pretty sure I've met shooter through mutual friend 20 years ago...

I don't care if this increases Yakupov's trade value or not, I'd rather Ebs on the top line.
- laughs2907


Nah, RNH-Ebs have great chemistry. Yak has HORRIBLE chemistry with RNH.

RNH loves technical and positional players (which is the complete opposite of Yak).

That is why that Pouliot-RNH-Ebs line has struck like thunder in the tropics for the last few years.

All of them have structure and technicality to their game, but most of all, they each have a high degree of positioning (mainly offensively for Ebs, but defensively AND offensively for Pouliot and RNH) influxed into their style of play.

lol "challenging" for the cup? Are you serious? With Larsson here, the cup is a guarantee.

Cup? With Larsson they are going to win champions of the universe title.

I'd say in a million years or so, universal competitions will be a reality. Just imagine... Blows my mind.

Pass on Versteeg, his best days are behind him. After a few of his neutral zone turnovers lead to goals he will end up in the press box. Let one of the kids have his spot.

Beat it punk. There is already a Hawks fan here to give an expert opinion on Versteeg

Since energy cannot be destroyed, I do believe that a person's energy/spirit lives on. I am a firm believer in this. I predict that within 50k-100k years from now, spirits will have the ability to travel freely between Earth and Earth 2 (Heaven) as they do now, however, spiritual vessels will be readily available on this planet, and those vessels will morph into the exact same shape/look of the body that the original owner possessed.

So in the future, in a million years now when we are able to see universal hockey games, the actual Larsson will be accompanied by guys like Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux, etc.

I think this has to at least be considered as an attempt by management to move Nail. They have shown that they aren't going to do it unless the get value back, which is great but it still has to be a thought. They have cap space and still a glaring need for an offensive producing dman. Especially a righty. Versteeg isn't bad but he doesn't bring a ton to the the team. He is just average. There were many more UFA's that had a larger upside. Perron as an example of someone I didn't hear them even discuss, despite his success with the Oil. Personally I would have rather seen them grab a third line center. In theory Henricks plays center but it would be great to have the option to move Leon up to produce goals if there became a need. He is one of their top 6 in skill and he can play any position. Nice to have that card handy to play if needed.
