lol 5 goals in 19 games with limited TOI…on pace for 20 in a full season?

Might wanna keep him

Van's Sam Gagner PP specialist for next season?

Me too but I would take Jost over any center in this draft . if you were hell bent on getting a center.

ya I hear you

I was totally surprised he gave Boeser 12:44 in ice-time. I'm sure it was mandated by Benning, because Desjardins doesn't seem to be keen on this development phase thing lol.

You can see it in WD's post game comments now…he don't look happy he has no contract.

I'm willing to bet you are correct that WD was told that BB gets close to 15 min TOI…period.

Byfuglien is not playing tonight and Laine is sick

Very possible we may have gotten lucky with Boucher. Still too early to tell but the kid does have a great shot and nose for the net on the PP. I'm actually blown away that Torts has been able to get what he is getting out of Gagner and a few others in CLB.

For sure.

WHAT! That means Van has a chance to win! I really wanted to see Tryamkin stand beside Buff to see if Buff has to look up or not.

Maybe the new coach will see value in a pure scorer

Gagner signed a $650k "show me contract", he goes to auction this summer. You want to bid?

He came as advertised I think. He has had 6 seasons of 40 points and a season of 37 and 38. His only off season was in Philly which happened to be last season for 16 in 51.

People in here will cry when Benning takes a Dman
- VANTEL

Although i don't want a D given where we will prolly be picking if it is a D then JB is very bullish on that player &/or GAudette is the real McCoy. Thats a pretty large reach for me but its the best scenario i can see. Still i think BPA & we most likely get a C & will be more than satisfied at how we draft overall. I to think at least 1 more trade will go down. JB doesn't rest & the need for more vet presence could be in the cards.

What about this guy?

big and undrafted.

I have heard from a few media that Hutton will be traded and OJ will be a Canuck.

Take it for what it is . Speculation
- VANTEL

Thinking on that it is concievable. Both r LHD & JB could decide OJ is done with Jr.
So say Hutton is up for sale it means there will be a goodly amount of suitors & either picks or a package for need is logical. What teams can we guess would be in on it?
Buffalo, Av's, Dallas, Yotes, Wings, TBL, NJD all r on my list.

You don't have to fix everything in one year. IMO there are no standout centers so draft one next year
