Ya he looked good in televised game last week.

Read an article couple weeks back that expressed concern about Boeser. Gist of article was he tends to score against inferior competition and very little against better competition. Of course can't find it now.
Sure hope this is not the case as we badly need some new young blood soon(like 4 years ago).

He looked dominant in the frozen 4 last year, I doubt he has lost it, hes struggled with a wrist injury.

You are right. It comes back now. Keenan said he had a better trade set up and Burke didn't want to follow through when he took the GM job from Keenan who had it briefly. If I recall, Keenan's trade didn't look like it was better later in hind sight at all. I can't even remember who the players were he mentioned... Adam Graves? I forget...

- boonerbuck

keenan said it was deal with LA. So however they had at the time. Dont think he ever mentioned which players

Keenan wanted a return for Bure so badly to insert into his lineup he would have traded him for just about anything.

He did however make that awesome Bertuzzi trade.......twice!

- golfingsince

you are correct. Keenan is excellent at making trades. Yes that was a great trade ... got us Ruutu, mcCabe and bert.
McCabe became part of the deal for the 2nd oa pick which was daniel sedin

You should send that to Trump for his response to his executive order ban. Finally it's being challenge by Bob Ferguson Attorney General for Washington State. He got Federal Judge to make a nation wide ruling. Hasn't happened since Texas judge killed the Obama order to legalize the Dreamers. Yeah Seattle shoving it to them robber barons in the WH. Love seeing there is some rule of law to stop the fascism that Trump is trying to create.

Juolvei.

via TSN’s Craig Button,

Very gifted skater who uses his feet to his advantage defensively and in transition. Smart, poised, anticipates the play, sees where to exploit opponents and can dictate play in all areas. Excellent in the defensive zone because he beats pressure, fends it off and the puck gets moving ahead quickly. Has a command of the game and he finds a way to be a contributor at critical times.”

Now that's a D-core

I doubt college players leave before graduation just to play in AHL. If he leaves it's because Nucks say he gets a spot on team. Same for BB. If we want him then JB says here's a contract you got a roster spot but you need to earn your icetime or deployment.

I was just walking home and I seen what looked like the prefect cartoon caption for the New Yorker


It was two guys standing having a conversation under a lampost. One was about 6'3 very stylish with a Carr coat , a goatee with an elastic braiding it , hair oiled back with the man bun.

The other guy was wearing a hoodie but you could see his long curly hair sticking out in jeans and was about 5'5. He looked like a cross between Weird Al and Jesus.

The caption I thought that it looked like was Jesus and Lucifer having a discussion out in the snow about what the hell can we do about Donald Trump.

Yes I know I have a strange mind , no need to tell me.

Nothing can stop the team from sending them down to Utica if they can't earn *any* ice after being penciled in.
- boonerbuck



Of course but it's sort of like the Tree situation was at the time. Could be in their contracts as well. Only that once they sign they can't go back to college. A sacrifice they would expect a certain amount of leash to make it. So yes if say 15-20 games or so it's not working for them then they would recognize they got a shot and need the AHL to work on their game. Just saying it shouldn't be a training camp slam. That would send a bad message to college players. The whole earning it thing is very subjective.

I could care less what happens in the States. Their domestic problems are their own creation. I care mostly about the foreign policy and already I'm sick of it. Just shift the regime change bs from Assad in Syria to Iran. I do want to see relations cool with Russia but the neo cons are hard at work to sabotage that already.

The Fall of Rome. As a non-American, that's what it all looks like to me.

It's a mad mad mad world..... remember that movie...well hope it plays out better. As what happens in the States does effect the rest of the world. Remember Reaganomics and what it did to Canada for example.

I stand corrected. Darn senior year. Okay. Well he's a goalie they need time to percolate in AHL isn't that the rule? Anyway, maybe it will be a Stecher situation. I believe they have the talent to grab a spot over what we got now.

Yeah. Hopefully they are better than the AHL ers we have in lineup now. Still think players should spend at least 20-40 games in minors. Unless they are exceptional of course.
