It will be a bad day in Rangerstown. But hey, he can always be proud of the guys again after losing in the playoffs.

I am guessing Vegas knows Klien's intent to retire. Would be funny though

I haven't heard or seen anything since that day, I'm thinking that's BS or else they would have protected him

F so far opposed to "F for the summer" are literally two different things but that's part of your problem is you compound comments and exaggerate the (frank) out of them
- KreiderBomb


you know what, I change my mind

I am convinced

I'd rather lose Raanta and Grabner than just lose Raanta, IT'S A BOLD STRATEGY COTTON!

I say we just lose Grabner and then trade Raanta for the next Ryan Gropp and Robin Kovacs. Fullproof.

You know my point but you want to alter it, you working for CNN now? It's not losing Raanta if he part of a trade that's gets us back an asset, we can sign another backup to sit on the bench and play the bad teams, you get the difference of losing for nothing and trading right?

I wonder if a Hagelin and Grabner line is attractive to Vegas, I would think it would be. I'm worried we lose Grabner and this blog will be going nuts about how the team lacks speed with him gone haha
- Slimtj100

2x stone hands is probably a bad idea. Grabner should've scored (frank)ing 50 - not 27...

but, just to be clear here, you realize if this happens, they'd then lose Grabner, Fast or Lindberg

Here is the thing though Vin. You are essentially losing 2 players from a spot of weakness. Lets say they take Grabner, its still leaves you Raanta and you can negotiate from a position of strength for the rest of the summer. I get what you are saying, but I personally say let them take 1 player and then start the wheeling dealing after the draft.

Gut feeling, that and he failed to be a PPG player throughout his WHL career. A few of those seasons spent with Mathew Barzal.

If the rumors are correct they want Stepan and not so much rantaa, so your right. Stepan and maybe one of the goalie prospects (not the Russian) for Murphy/Chycrun and the 23rd seems like a good deal

Raanta has more value as a trade chip than a backup to me, we can fill his position but won't replace his value on the trade market

I really don't see this being a choice between 4 players, I think we can all agree it's highly unlikely they pick a Fast.

I did a poll on twitter who would be the worst to lose

https://twitter.com/jimbr...status/876526322708885509

so you can maybe excuse my exasperation that I am showing on here

Yesterday you was in the clear; Jimbo was your bff. You're (frank)ing it up again. Wouldn't surprise me if you're back to be disliked again tomorrow...
