I(according to my mom) almost got thrown out of preschool for clothes lining a kid off a tricycle and inciting a brawl. I have no recollection of this, but wish I did.

Yeah I remember your mom telling me that story

I remember running around trying to catch the leaves falling off the trees while at the same time trying to avoid the flying objects whizzing by

Hurricanes were awesome as a kid.

And right now there is some Ranger scout saying, I went to pre-school with this kid that clotheslined someone of a tricycle, inciting a pier six brawl. I wish I had his name. That is exactly the type of jam we need. Ah, (frank) it, let's just trade for Matt Duchene instead.

I don't see the Oilers interested in Stepan, they need to clear $$$ to sign Draisaitl and then McDavid to new deals

I don't see the Oilers making many changes. As a pretty inexperienced playoff team, they did rather well for themselves.

He played pickup hockey at a public out door rink in figure skates.

You see Lucic in the handshake line, didn't say a word to any ducks...looked like he would punch someone first. Hes a real doosh

I can see them trading RNH to get some cap space, or Eberle I guess

If you had to wear these in the winter when you were a kid, I bet I can tell how old you are.

Pending UFA Karl Alzner appears to be giving up on #Caps 'This is a pretty good window we had here. Unfortunately it's not there anymore.'

Two known names that are likely or could be on trade market this summer: Duchene and Drouin.

You guys interested in either?

That's a stupid thing to say going into free agency. I certainly wouldn't like to hear that from a player I was considering signing.

Drouin would be the tougher one to get I'm thinking. Tampa is in cap hell and couldn't really take on anything we could offer.

Why? If the guy doesn't think the team can compete for a title and the window is closing which isn't that far fetched to begin with I don't see the problem. It's one thing if he still had a couple of years left on his contract but the guy is just speaking the truth on his way out the door.

I like Drouin better, but Duchene plays a bigger position of need.

For me, it comes across as poopting on teammates that you've played with for years, and I would want no part of it. I am assuming there are guys in that room that don't think their window is closed.

Matt Duchene is a killer faceoff man

Fair enough. I just think the guy was being honest.

Edmonton would match that

it's gotta be severe, like 9-10 million a year, something crazy like that

Hayes was pretty good during the playoffs.

Like being invited to someone's house for dinner and telling him, your wife is ugly and your kids are imbeciles. Sorry, dude, just being honest. But, this meatloaf is great.

That's fine to say if he was leaving and never coming back
