Don't they both have Cups?

Yeah, that's what I mean, they have been masters of keeping the Penguins a solid team with some large payrolls.

Trade away expensive stars and keep building youth.

FLA plays a pretty big and heavy game Guddy seemed to do ok there. He's gonna miss a few to be sure…but as long as he is consistently good for 65+ games/year he should be ok

Does Florida play a big and heavy game ? If they do wouldn't they want to keep him ?

They have an angry McCann now.

Well they better win in the next couple years, cause they are going to have some cap issues when Draisatl wants 6 - 7m, McDavind wants 9 - 10m, Nuge gets 6m, Pulj wants 6-7m, Eberle gets 6m etc etc. They already gave Lucic 6m till 2023. Thats 7 players putting them over 45m. Klef, Nurse and Larsson will all want to get paid too.

This.

Like the blackhawks when everyone needs a raise they are going to lose a few amazing players just from cap issues. We should take some of those players off their hands for cheap in a couple of years

Great to see the Ruskies advance. Ruskies versus Swedes would be ideal in the final.

Aren't you Canadian? You should receive a ban for this comment. I understand some cheering for Sweden but not Russia.

I dunno is going from a lotto team in Canada to a playoff team in Florida would make me too angry ...although who knows if the panthers or Canucks continue with their ways ...or if he even makes the panthers

They want good fancy stats....not Gudbranson.

As long as you have a core identified the rest is irrelevant, they won three times in six years even though they had to shed players.

He's gonna get lost in the shuffle there, which is unfortunate for him because he's a good upside player.

Wouldn't surprise me if he is traded to another team for a more NHL ready piece at some point

From what I've read it sounds like he will be on the wing with Bjugstad on the 3rd line. I could see him doing some damage playing in their bottom 6.

This tournament has no national value for me. I want Ovi to get to the finals.hockey is better when the Ruskies are actually able to win big games.

No. They have other players to sign and are managing their cap.

Was there someone on the forum that works in the medical field? I have a question.
- Retinalz

Lums is a doctor.
You could also ask me and I will google it and let you know.

oh god no.....please, please never use google for medical stuff. Its my field remember. It's useful in stats on stuff or researching something with definitive answers NOT something subjective and interpretive like medical cases where opinions are needed. There's also tons of errors in that online info. I have to deal with people googling stuff and getting misinformation on almost a daily basis.

Using google for medical issues is a bad bad idea. Dont use it unless you feel like potentially dying from the answers....just go to an actual medical professional for christs sake.

This world cup thing has nothing on the '87 Canada Cup. Power play of Mario, Wayne, Messier, Coffey, & Bourque.

Great idea!!
Google has really helped me out dealing with some serious medical conditions. Dr.'s just prescribe the newest, flashiest pharmaceutical.

theres some great names in this years as well.
Malkin, OV, crosby, thornton, burns, getzlav, perry, stamkos, toews, tavares, doughty, weber, price, lundqvist, sedins, just to name a few. I believe all of those names have either won a cup or a gold medal.

We have the worst health care system in the 1st world. Google it and head down to the states for treatment is my recommendation.

Well Dr Feelgood , Google helped me get rid of my hiccups. I read so many antidotes I forgot I had hiccups. Just saying

In full agreement. When personal trainers become 'medical professionals' Google and the US are the most efficient options.

All of them after they retire. Maybe a couple won't but not likely.
