I'm okay with a 4th line of

Moulson Larsson Gionta

I'd love a goal scorer for that open LW slot.

No more fossil lol let him go to NJ lol

Anyone think the Kulikov deal is writing on the wall for Trouba being dealt. I just read part of the Jets blog and it seems like they have a lot of money tied up in that blueline, with pay increases soon to come and a bunch of young forwards who will demand big raises. Anyone else?

Hope a miracle happens and molasses is not on this team

I would do Sam for trouba right now lol

I haven't followed many rumors as of late in regards to vegas, but wasn't there some sort of chatter than we may be interested in someone they just acquired in the expansion draft? Neal perhaps or a D man? Not sure if it had any merit, but again, I haven't been keeping up with outside rumors too often

Emelin to Nashville from Vegas for a 3rd according to Dreger

They're gonna have to move someone in the top 4...maybe for Duchene

- GERBE!!!75PTS

I'd be upset as Samson is one of my favorite players, but our defense would be set for the next half dozen years at least.

I truly believe JBotts was a real "unplucked gem" plying his craft in Pittsburgh. (Yes, Gerbes that is not a spelling error but rather a local reference that will go over the heads of many on here, but BulldogWgr would know immediately. **Not that anyone HAS to listen to their ridiculous drivel at times, but Chris Parker is a Solid Dude IMO.)

Now to summarize the overall feel of Jason Botterill's breif tenure as General Manager



NHL -1st Round Draft pick 20th overall kid from Edmonton Alberta

Only Canadian to Win 3 Straight Would Junior Championships All Time

The Hockey News 2011 rated 100 Most Powerful people in hockey, Botterill was considered one of the Top 40 under the age of 40!

MBA from University of Michigan while his Father is a Professor at University of Winnipeg and his Mother an Olympic Speed Skater, Sister successful career on the Canadian Woman's Team.

The more I know the more the possibilities range what he could convalesce here.

Yep, he deserves a fancy quote from one of our greatest song/poetry writers in our time!

Enjoy Mother (frank)ers, I'm out with a blonde with legs that never end!

Right?! I was expecting them to make big splashes in free agency to put a team together, but that hasn't happened. This is what real tanking looks like methinks.

Jacob Josefson? Great signing

I'm guessing the 4th line center or the 13th forward with the big club?

Whom is he? Btw, we have a ton of cap space, wonder if we'll be using it to sign a higher priced FA or to acquire a higher price player?

Speedy center from the Devils. 26 years old, former 1st round pick, never really got a good opportunity.

Good analytics too
