So franking laughable.

Calling your prospects “B grade” is vastly over-rating them.

What team do you cheer for again?

Not the leaves or the Coyotes
No to prospects for me

Luckily in two years i won't be in cap hell though... so there is that, unless we trade giddy for Dre.... but even Benning isn't dumb enough to touch that contract, I hope.

He's good but obviously he isn't even close to the best player outside the NHL. He isn't even the best Euro out of the draft

I got roasted for suggesting we pick this guy.

Everybody thought passing on Vilardi was stupid yet he hasn't even played a single game in any league since being drafted.

He's potentially going to beat a Peter Forsberg record.

Tolvanen was drafted out of the USHL. Technically a North American prospect like Nico Hischier. Tolvanen is having a really nice year though, no doubt.

Peter Forsberg was arguably the best player in the world for some time, early and mid 2000's it was him or Jagr

No offense to the KHL as it is a great league.

but any league where Linden F'n Vey is the leading scorer then I'll take that leagues scoring numbers with a grain of salt.

both punching in league above their weight class. both doing well.

Saying Forsberg didn't reach the top level is actually laughable, Frenchy.

Tolvanen has been more impressive. KHL is a better league

I'm a Joe Sakic man. Have his autographed rookie card and his Team Canada Jersey. Sue me Tre Kronor.

He won the Art Ross and Hart trophies in 2003.

So kinda hard to argue he was never the top guy.

Let me ask you this, Frenchie:

Seventh game of the Stanley Cup. You can pick either Forsberg or Sakic.

Three hours before the game, a blizzard outside prevents the Avalanche from getting from the team bus to enter the Pepsi Centre.

Who do you get to operate the snow blower?
