Good to see Ruh back. He did a decent job filling in for the injured players.

By the way, we play 19 back to backs next year. Unbelievable.

Good for us fans, terrible for the team lol. I guess that also means longer days off inbetween a lot of the games.

Sorry, off topic. Does anyone else constantly get redirected to a site claiming you have won something through Amazon when using this site? It has become incredibly frustrating for me!

Thanks, I have both for my desktop but not my iPad (which is what I typically use.) I appreciate the rec and will see what is available.

I was touting Guentzel in 2014-2015 after seeing him play for Nebraska Omaha. It was obvious that he had top 6 talent and hockey sense. When I posted about him here I compared him to Johnny Gaudreau. I didn't need any numbers, equations or formulas, it was obvious.

Do I get a cookie, too?!?

It doesn't count, you didn't use fancy stats or graphs to show.

There are a lot of buggy redirects on this site. I get one on my phone claiming I've won a free i-phone...and I get one on firefox that masquerades as a firefox security update.

I have an adblock browser on my phone which makes at least reading blogs and comments a non issue.

Who would be a realistic top pairing guy to trade for?

I think these are the RD that you might be thinking about:

Faulk, Barrie - can't get em

(2nd pair guy): Hamilton, Parayko, Trouba- can't get em

(2nd/3rd pair): Vataneen, Dumba -probably cost too much for what you get

FA: Shattenkirk -too expensive
FA: Stone really 3rd/4th pair guy - might not be best fit, probably signs with CGY

It's no ad...I've won a Walmart shopping spree. Just had to give my name and bank information. Should be in my account any week now

He would currently be a solid 4C and has a 3rd line ceiling. Doesn't hold enough value to be worth trading imo.

Feds, I forgot to ask you about Teemu Pilkkinen also. Vegas picked him up, but he played for Detroit for a while. What is your take on him? Thanks.

The one time he got a legit shot in DET he did well until he injured his shoulder after being boarded by Hanzal. He has a lethal shot and imo should be a sheltered bottom 6 guy that is utilized as a PP specialist.

That's why I said a week ago I bet we start the season with a patchwork defence group with Tanger & JR sees how that can handle things. Doubt JR overpays/trades for a player but instead gets a lower end guy that 'might' be able to raise his level over a small period - Cole like.

Interesting interview with Bryan Mccabe, new executive with Florida. Lets just say they've made analytics a secondary piece of information and was moreso complimentary of their scouts work. Something tells me there was a bit of a philosophy change in the last little while.

I know others have said it, but Nesterov would be a good target since he isnt getting resigned... 3 + 14 in 48 games

I honestly just want to lift the offer on shattenkirk. Would love to keep outback 1st. He will likely have better offers buy 7 years 50 million. Best letang insurance we can get. Then keep our 1st and get someone in the system

Yep. I'm all in on Nesterov too. He looked good in Tampa, Jon Cooper is just a moron.

Lotsa good reads on TPT. Here's one from Jake.

Rotoworld has radulov seeking 6yrs 42mil. There goes that thought and god bless the team that commits that to him. Good player but how can you trust him for anywhere near that

Looks like the VGK are not trading anymore of their young players.

@PierreVLeBrun
Asked GM GM about Nate Schmidt, says he's not trading any of his young players. Keeping Schmidt.

Well that can be out to rest. I'd really like Franson.
8-58
3-4
28-Franson

If we can get better go for it, but I feel if Hainsey somewhat worked here then Franson sure as hell can
