The prospects are becoming like drugs.

Keeping us sane with all the missed/early exit playoffs.

For me anyway.

Collecting assets is solid medicine. Let’s shoot for someone like Kupari or Veleno if they have 2 picks.

What about some tasty negotiating rights?

We haven’t had those to tickle our fancy for a while.

- flyer_nutter

By far one of my most hated trades a GM can make. We're overdue for one. Maybe send a 1st to the Canucks for the ability to discuss convincing the Sedins to come to Philly rather than retire.

But seriously, I do love having this kind of draft capital.

Did you see how hard Couturier went over? That was not an embellishment. I bet it hurt like hell too with a torn MCL.
- MJL


After more looks at it I don’t think he jumped. Whether he embellished or not doesn’t matter. The trip should have been called and the play stopped. Blown call. That’s how it goes sometimes

We finished ahead of both in the standings. If CBJ gets to the conf final, we move up to 18

So in all likelihood 14 and 18 or 19?

So who do we pull for now?

Personally I’m rooting for a Nashville/Tampa final. Rooting for Lavs, obviously, and Tampa is an exciting team. Tampa is a great place to go watch a game too. Cool atmosphere outside the arena before and after the game. Inside is great too. Highly recommend it.

After that, as long as the Pens and Bruins don’t win it all I’d be happy.

I gotta go with Nashville-Tampa too and I'll be rooting for Nashville. In the end, anyone but the Pens, Capitals, and Bruins and I'll be okay. I'd rather not see the Leafs or Jets (Byfuglien factor) either. Blue Jackets eh.

So go Preds, Sharks, Vegas, or Lightning!

I wanted an "A" on Coots last summer. Than the locker room voted Filppula and Mac get them. I was openly pissed. Of course all I heard was "You know the players voted, right? They would know better than anyone..."
- SuperSchennBros


I wanted Coots too but if the players felt Filppula and Amac deserved the A's who am I to say otherwise. But with Filppula gone (hopefully) i would like to see him get it

Really? haha

I don’t agree with all his decisions but I cannot argue with how far he got them with this roster.

Even Don Cherry is taking a shot at Coach Hakstol....on coaches corner tonight....called him a dummy for not putting Simmonds out there on the 4 on 3 is yeasterdays game....then he quipped” what do you want from another college coach” ?

If Cherry says it... it has to be correct...

Tavares apparently has interest in Toronto. Toronto will surely have interest in Tavares with cap space to boot. I fail to see what is stopping this from happening

they definitely will have to figure something out. im not saying its impossible, but matthews deal will be big. they have a few other pieces up front that will need new ones too. all while still lacking a bit on the back end.

im not saying i would necessarily avoid the situation though. JT is the type of guy you move pieces around for.

Oh it got better....they showed the Gudas hit on Couturier....said he should have seen the orange jersey and it was his fault....he was in rare form.

But the leafs are going to lose that luxury....Mathews, Mariner and Nylander are all going to get serious coin fairly shortly.
