I was fishing to see if we listed a bunch of players on the 50 list if someone would defend saving everyone of them. It is a really nice day and no one is talking hockey.

I wish there was something to talk about.

Here's a bold prediction, the Canes or Islanders will relocate to Houston for the start of the 2018/19 season..

Shosh, Lindberg, marincin Marchenko, valiev, just to name a few! Will have to add for sure,Unless it's 6/7th rounders for some?shosh could possibly get a 4/5th? for someone wanting to upgrade their bottom 6,but they need to weed out those who are not in their future plans! But some have some value as 7th dmen or bottom 6 roles,adding to the pot is what will most likely happen tho!

If the Canes sale goes through your prediction could have legs. Islanders are not likely smart enough to move.

I guess a team could play in the Toyota Center in Houston but likely a move would trigger another publicly funded arena.

Cool me out, Pospisil Pete!

What kinda cool you lookin' for?

I figure there are better players available as free agents than the dregs of our bottom decile. With training camps starting September, we could use some bags of pucks.

I like Shosh but he might have some value in a package.

No it wouldn't.. they would definitely play at the Toyota Center.. The owner put the Rockets up for sale..

Devil's, Colorado, vegas? The devils jvr on their team adds a nice scoring punch,would a sign and trade be possible for jvr to do?Colorado had interest in him a few years ago,maybe jvr packaged with a couple of prospects? And the devils might be interested in shosh,Valiev too?along with jvr.Who knows but if a muti deal happens, a nice prospect or player will be going too!

If the Devil's acquire JVR they would be building a nice little forward group, kinda under the radar.. Right now you think of Hall as their only threat, but Zacha, Hischier, and then JVR would actually be pretty scary..

They would be a 2nd or a player jvr?possibly some thing along the line of that? We'll probably see a deal simular to the islander deal a few years ago! And it wouldn't surprise me if it's Colorado it's make with!

Didn't know about the Rockets being for sale. Buying the Rockets and Canes/Islanders could be a nice package for selling out an arena's dates.

Islanders didn't get much in that trade that actually helped them imo. Not sure if the 5 played as many games for them as Grabner played for the Leafs?

He wouldn't mind going home either I bet! And agree that they'd be looking good! I'm sure if the leafs were to trade him and a couple of prospects, for a 1st? Conditional he signs? If not a 2nd and a 4th? Frank who knows? Just spit balling?!

If the Rockets sell Houston automatically becomes the #1 destination for re-location. Quebec and Seattle wouldn't come close to matching the corporate sponsorship that Houston could.

No agree, but frank them! it's garf snowed! I liked the islanders but snow! What a cluster frank! I know that when people say that can't be done or he can't be traded. .then guess what the franker is gone or the trade was made! Snow could of got jvr and instead got picks for harmonic! that really showed J.T.that their winning now! imagine that John could of had jvr to the left and ebbs to the right? .He's gone to Tampa next year!

What, JVR and a couple of prospects are only worth a 2nd and a 4th?

I think JVR would only be traded for another established player. At this point the Leafs don't need to keep acquiring picks. But I can't see that happening anymore. His value is dropping as his contract runs out and the Leafs will probably just keep him for their run.

slow day at the office eh

ya that didn't quite come out right! I meant if they had a RH dman?I didn't even roster check,and no top a top pairing but number 4? Again just bored thinking of some crazy shat to pass the hot day with my beer!
