I like the guy, lets be honest, I just think his contract is about 300-500k too much for a 3rd line center. Luckily we will not be in cap hell for a few years.
- Retinalz

being 300-500k off is not much, not a problem going forward. Sedins come off, 14 mill. Then we can have some flexibility and see some interesting(hopefully) wheeling.

I will care if Gaunce scores 12 for Vegas.

Good for Gaunce zero to 12 goals is a great step forward

You can just shut up now

I'll chalk that up to Benning talking out his ass.
I like Sutter but he ain't no Toews.

- Pres.cup

It's not a real Benning quote, there are no ummms or errrrs and he only used "like" once and it was in the right context.

Bonino wins two cups ,Mike Sullivan the same , Weber makes it to the SCF. AV went to SCF .Glass was a scrub here turns to a legit tough guy for NYR.


This is a crap team that played a boring crap system. It is amazing how well players do once they leave here

Yes I've heard. But either way I saw Tree leaving as temporary. I expect him back but without the when certainty many just want to write him off.

Should be an interesting week, for sure. I kinda wish they'd take a longer look at Tippett. feel like we haven't had a sniper like that is so long, personally love watching tape as the kid is a pure shooter.

Isn't BB like him but not one dimensional and more cerebral. Plus Boucher looks to have quite the shot that could compare somewhat and a huge junior showing.

He could be back soon, but as a GM you have to assume the worst and prepare for it. I'd definitely old his rights, but I wouldn't assume he'll be back either.

Tippett would be an atrocious pick at 5th overall, if they acquire a mid-late 1st then sure, but otherwise he shouldn't even be considered.

some reports are 6 months behind.

But the thing here is the KHL has been that way for 1-2 years already. Doubt they'd fold this soon

I think he is the best skater and playmaker in the draft. He is over looked because he is Russian.
