I looked at Atkinson but I just don't think we need another undersized winger. Hartnell would fit in well with us and he should be dirt cheap (maybe Torts would love him some Bouma )


- Saskabush

Well considering what he has done with Gagner, he very well might.

Kekalainen will be sweating bullets if he makes it to the draft with Hartnell still under contract. Jenner is going to be the odd man out if he can't deal Harts.

I've heard more than a few NHL insiders who believe that teams like cbj won't be losing good players via expansion draft ...those teams will have deals in place for either hatrnall or Jenner and make the deal which makes the most sense ...there is also rumblings of teams likely to make side deals with Vegas for picks etc to not take certain players

Hartnell and Dubois for Dougie.

Would you?
- Wildschwein

Personally, I think Dubois is bust. Just a gut feeling.

Kek wouldn't do it but it's a fun idea.

Yeah, obviously they have a couple contingency plans lined up.

We might lose Backlund if we have to protect Hartnell.

I would protect backs over Ferland

Yeah, if we have 7 forwards I guess Backs is a no-brainer.

Would be crazy if the Matt Stajan era ended via expansion draft.

That would be crazy ...I don't see it happening tho ...if kulak keeps playing as well as he has been it would be a tough pill to swallow losing him IMO

@Dino
This is only his third game on the wing this year!!!

THAT FIRST LINE IS BRUTAL

But still not as brutal as your avitar..

Well yeah but I'm not a someone, I'm a something.

A something that that does SFA at work that's for sure...

Hartnell and Dubois for Dougie.

- Wildschwein

Hartnell has a full no move clause.

They already said side deals will not be permitted. To me the tricky part will be exposing 25% of the cap.

List of players teams must officially protect released.

As long as the side deal looks like a legit trade how can the league stop it

Yarp. I do recall reading somewhere that he'd be willing to waive, but that was before Columbus went all smack down on the NHL. He might not be so willing to move now I'd imagine.

I think they are due for a drop in the standings. I mean, their PP can't produce at 31% for the whole year can it? Can it!?! Meanwhile ours is below 10%

I still don't think that Columbus is going to be in a position to compete for awhile. There's a chance he might be willing to waive.

The leafs have to waste a spot on Nathan Horton

Is this game not on nhl centre ice or something?!
Paid 200 bucks for this bulls*it

- Saskabush

Won't really matter. Most of their good players are so young they are exempt.

Bennett to the 3rd what a maroon! Todd to say it wasn't working is not true! Fack the stats watch the game! Their line had 6 points the one night, can't expect it to be like that all the time. Give it time,
Another awesome player selection!

If you weren't always sporting pouty yet strangely arousing lips, then maybe someone would listen to you.

Just turned on the game, how we doing?

Who was down after running into Brouwer?

Is it time to start thinking that we Johnson is the real deal? I have been impressed every time he plays. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves but wasn't miikka 30 when we picked him up? I don't want to jinx anything but keep playing him.

I have it on Center Ice.

Makes sense, why play a plug on the first line when you have a talent like bennet.
- SRam19

Not a bad move for that plug...

He made the move against Seth Jones, guy is a plug.
