shall see in the chaos tomorrow. Somebody drops every year maybe it is him.

It wouldn't be a drop? He hasn't been ranked top 5 in any of the lists I've seen

Hearing that Radulov's latest contract ask was six years at $7 M per season. No way Habs do that...


Man I hope Montreal does this.

JB pretty much said outright today that there is no chance Tanev gets moved.
- NorthNuck



I believe JB but he also is not shopping him but will take a great offer.
He is playing poker bro

My thoughts exactly but I am with Nucker & Liljegrin will fall out of the top 10
- Nighthawk

He keeps falling out of my top 10 but I seem to find his name coming up as a PP QB that teams are talking about. JB has been scouting him since last season. He's very in-depth into what his game is like.

Just read
Sounds like Nico to Devils, Patrick to flyers, Dallas is still trying to trade it, Colorado leaning towards Makar.

Van needs a jump start in the rebuild. Trading Kesler was a start but then he traded it away. Either take on a bad contract or trade Tanev are JB's two best options.

No I think he was playing the waiting game before Sbisa was taken by Vegas. If you listen to his comments today it doesn't sound like he's playing wait and see.

True but he had no choice either tbh

Back to the Sabres i think its time to make some noise.
As for the Yotes idk if its wishful thinking but that team cannot remain so far off the radar forever. New GM prolly means his rebuild is not ready for a Tanev.

Guess they both just needed a change in seenery ...
- Redmile247


Pretty much. I like this trade for the isles personally. Eberle is much better, Strome has proven to be a little slow for the NHL. Ebs is only on a two year deal, so it's not too much of a risk and they are tryig to sell JT. Big win for them IMO.

So Vegas has 6, 13 and 15 pick at the draft. Sounds like McPhee is better at tanking than McPhee and he's only been LV GM for two months.

If I had 3 picks, I'm gambling on yamamoto or Kostin with one of them. Big boom/bust picks.

I wonder if Vegas would take both of our 2nds for the 15 pick? If they do, Cal Foote would look great in a Canuck uni.

They've moved up so far, havent traded down yet. I doubt it's for sale.

That may be possible & i would take Kostin if still there.
His fall & upside could make him a gem.
Next draft is loaded in D for us.

I think they are trying to come up with a package to land the #2

No way Liljegren is going top 4. I'd put big money on it.
- Nucker101

give me a break. there is ZERO chance Liljegren goes top 7

If you get another first you probably draft a d with one of those picks

I give it the same odds as the jays winning a game where they can reach the .500 mark

Makes sense but i think McPhee dropped the ball on picking goalchies.
Philly needs a Tender not D.
They seem to be not so high on Coutourier these days.
2OA could address that unless seeking 2-1sts from Vegas to grab Ottenger

he's definitely more of a Horvat/Boeser than a Virtanen in that regard.

Here it is for those that missed it:

Normally in our position I'd agree but BPA might be a better idea in that area.
Defer D til the next draft when we will pick high again.
Only Makar would be by wish this draft if a D since Heiskanen most likely goes 1st

Or Tanev excels under travis green, and returns to form, and we have a great defenceman under 30 on a great contract for the foreseeable future.

Whatever we do with Tanev benefits this team.

- Crazybagoham



He must be like Mother Teressa and Florence Nightingale wrapped up in one rekindling all these lost souls. He is a damn miracle worker is what he is

Yeah I agree Ebs game is very one sided

If strome is just a 3C than I think chireli could have done better

- Redmile247

Both clubs did ok here. Eb's game is better suited for the east anyways.

Last summer he was seeing a shot specialist ...this summer he is trying to return to form
- Redmile247



I hope he fired that guy.

Tanev is so dumb . How dumb is he? He hired Tiger Wood's caddie to help him improve his shot

Still harping on.a Tanev trade....



The price won't go down so waiting out GM's works just fine.
Any TDL deal will be better for the next draft.
It explains my high asking price presently.
