Hayes is certainly not going into broadcasting when he retires.

I can venture a guess as to why some may hate you.

I think it would depend on where he's at with his speech. He was offered it a while ago but turned it down bc he was still having trouble speaking.

by my count and cap friendly as well, the A's are Nash and Staal. I could see this not changing. McD, Nash, and Staal as A's - maybe Shatty given an A next year once Staal is either bought out, traded, or is mysteriously injured while getting out of bed.

everybody assumes that Alex Kerfoot would sign with Vancouver but I suppose Rangers could think they will be in on him, especially with the Vesey factor, and if they did land him he would very much be in the mix for 4th line center too

Another free addition would be great. Still need to figure something out if Andersson doesn't make the team, don't trust Desjarnais as our 3rd line center, let alone if Zib or Hayes were to get hurt.

I think Miller moving to center is very possible, they are at least gonna try it

I agree that's the most likely scenario until Andersson or Chytil is ready then he'll move back to wing

Kevin Klein getting a shot at Team Canada for the Olympics! One up side to no NHL. Some guys who never thought they'd get a chance at a medal will realize a dream.

\nah Duchene will when you trade Skjei for him.

If no one responds to this post in 5 mins, this is a legally binding trade

I love Joe Sakic. I have always liked the Avs. Something tells me Joe has overplayed his hand big time and this thing is going to deteriorate into a drama-fest before he gets pennies on the dollar and ruins his reputation in the process.

I think its more Fans and Media who are the ones making it into something more than it is. Its business and they are all pros. No one is talking to the media, jabs at one another, etc. but there is still this narrative of killing value, pissing off people etc. I dont think it really works like that

Its Hockey Summertime so of course everyone has time to kill with Hot Takes with every passing day.

Gotta say very surprised at Jans lineup considerations....18 yr old starts as 3rd line center ? no way ....Derharnais as our big time 4th .. ?
this sounds like Jans rant for Clendening to get slotted in? Pipe dreams ..
i prefer the pipe but that is sum stuff hes puffin on..Oh my!!!

Z bad who i like is going to play #1 minutes & results ? no way , never has done it before .....will be better but plopping all that expectation ..I D K
Hayes is our # 2 ? why ? he barely finished as #3 ... OHhhhh ...attrition or time served ... CMON..WAKE UP ... we barely have 2 centers on our team fromlast yrs results...
we have umpteenth defensemen ... from stars to top vets to up & coming.....
we got enuff for 2 units of 6 ....counting all the potentials

I D K what gorts will surprise us with but IF this our lineup to start 17-18
I want my money back... i'l see ya 18-19.... this is a must for Gorts to pull off
selling Step was not to be done ..only started ..we will see ...

I'm for giving Zibby a chance on the first line since, well, we signed him long term to actually be our first line center.
A full healthy season with top line wingers and the drive to prove he deserves that contract should be motivation enough to excel.
As for the other centers? Camp is just around the corner. Could be a player under the radar gets an invite and locks up a spot.
