I don't think he's worth still being mentioned years later. It's pathological, obsessive compulsive. That whole trade is.

for me its more about what came back (which isn't much) versus what left and i think for most it's like that. Its why it gets brought up so often

I went to the Canada vs Finland game last week and saw some of the other Finnish games, not real impressed with our goalie prospect. He has a lot of room to grow.

I can't project injuries my dude. Julio LTE v 1.0 will be just fine. LTE v 2.0 will be even better. I hype him more than a year ago and all the experts are now following.

Hoping we use our picks to move up for a QB the 49ers have their franchise quarterback it looks Like the Giants are going to keep Eli so I don’t think they’re going to draft a quarterback with their top pick maybe in the second round


Gerbs,

Giants are taking a QB at 2. Eli is going to be 37 in a few days. You're not at 2 often, they will have one of the QB's.

They're *saying* they want Eli, but are already starting to ask if he'd be willing to take a paycut to stay.

They're about to cut Eli Apple, already did Bobby Hart, and may cut Ereck Flowers. The Giants *could* be under some mild cap duress with the house cleaning. They're looking long term and I don't think Davis Webb is it.

Yeah, i think the season goes til march.


If he were chosen, he could basically say kick rocks to Minnesota. Would they really kick an olympian out of school for going to the Olympics?

No, Team USA has 4 college kids on it. Donato, Greenway, Borgen and Terry.

They're just not sending their best players on purpose, there's an under the table deal with all the teams. Half the US U-20 team would be on the Olympic roster if they did.

Which is why I made the joke.

But I always find it hilarious how people will downplay the parts given up in these trades as busts, or nothings, while people wet their pants over guys like Evan Rodrigues

In my boredom, I was think about what the team might look like come 2019-20 season. So many moves will be made by then, but given our current assets I came up with this lineup that seems at least interesting to me. Let's see how you guys rip it apart.

Nylander Eichel (trade from moving Reinhart + )
(1st from Kane trade ) Mittelstadt Olofsson
Smith O’reilly Erod
Pu Asplund Bap


2018 1st Risto
Guhle Scandella (moved if deal presents itself)
McCabe Antipin
Nelson

Ullmark
backup: trade for a young goalie needing a change of scenery

TRADED:
Lehner (trade rather than pay) Girgensons, Larsson, Fasching, Bailey, Okposo, Pommer, Beaulieu, Bogo (waived and dumped)

I know ROR at 3C will be unlikely, but with the cap going up his bad contract will not be as bad and the 3rd line will finally be a true scoring shutdown line.

I don't get it though, what does the Olympic team gain? And who's advocating against making the best team possible?

It's all about perception though. Armia was a first rounder, currently at 45 points in 138 games. Rodrigues was a college UFA, currently with 11 points in 43 games. It's like the argument that Sam sucks because he was the 2nd OA when he has 102 points in 206 games. If it was the 10 OA doing that, we'd all be thrilled. That's why no one cares about Armia, or consider him little more than nothing.

Dude, I don't know what to tell you, but look at that team and tell me it wouldn't be better with half of the U-20 team on it. I'm not talking about just one guy, at least half the team.

And Canada will be much the same. You're telling me Carter Hart isn't better than Ben Scrivens or Sam Steel isn't better than Paul Szczechura, or Wojtek Wolski?

It's probably a "(frank) you" to the IIHF over the insurance bullpoop that kept NHLers out of it.

Edit: Now watch Canada not hold up their end and send all their top tier guys just so they can steal the Gold.

So get a guy who is 30, is having an awful season, oft injured/strokey and has a 7.25 million cap hit the next 4 years for the best rental player on the market?

I am not entirely opposed to Letang, just not for Kane.
