Can they afford 8-10 mil for him?
- VANTEL

Sure, look at their 2019/2020 salary space when he's due for a contract. They'll have to make some moves but this is Yzerman we're talking about, he's good at his job!

small towns can be really (frank)ed up places.

Sure can, what small town?

Cousin was 15 when he had his oldest.....ended his junior career with the Kamloops Blazers before it started, saw only 1 training camp......

Not a great return but what can they do under the circumstances.

at least they dumped salary

Saved a million by trading Hoffman for Boedker.

I wish the draft started at noon and was an all day event. The bar would be opened at 9 am and by the time the draft started most GMs were pissed out of their minds

I love you man , 2 second round picks for Hutton and we will throw in Gallagher

I think Boedker makes 3 million but his cap hit is 4 million for the remaining two years of his deal.

As of now, this would be my top 15:


1. Dahlin
2. Svechnikov
3. Zadina
4. Hughes
5. Kotkaniemi
6. Dobson
7. Tkachuk
8. Wahlstrom
9. Berrgren
10. Kravstov
11. Farabee
12. Boqvist
13. Bouchard
14. Kaut
15. Smith


Dobson and Kotkaniemi are dead even for me. I'd really be interested in a trade down with Philly or the Isles(long shot) with their picks.

Mainly because obviously I'm pretty big on the 3 forwards I have ranked from 9-11.
- Nucker101

Wow, meth keeping you up late ?

There's 4 players in your top 11 that aren't BPA.
Kotkaniemi is only top 10 expected because mb is on track.
Don't be a MB....

Big Russian import wing with an incredible size/skill/skate combination. So hard for Q defenders to handle on the wall, in the corners and in the slot. This big boy is solid one-on-one, and can go wide... then drop a leg and drive to the front of the net. Once his legs get going, he is deceptively fast. Has a long powerful stride that can carry defenders on his way in the attack zone. Plays with a long stick, and displays good stick skills passing the puck. Far from a finished product as he needs work on a 200-foot game, his puck-handling, more all around intensity, and to fill in and get even more co-ordinated.

The #Canucks and Reid Boucher's camp are talking contract, Vancouver wants him back. Boucher is on a 1 way deal, the Canucks can take him to salary arbitration but both sided trying to cut a fair deal.

Hoffman probably has a better chance of getting a tribute video from the Sharks than he does the Sens

You know Doug Wilson just made something special happen because he just pulled off the ‘key to being a good GM is identify the worst GMs and call them’ move twice in rapid succession.

Meanwhile Peter Chiarelli wistfully stares at his phone..

Pretty good day for Doug Wilson. He gets rid of Mikkel Boedker and trades a 6th round pick in exchange for a 2nd, a 4th and two 5th round picks, plus $4 million in cap space and $6 million in real salary savings. #sjsharks

Dim Jim was going to call but had a shoe polish incident happening at his hotel room.

Lots of talk today about Comets moving to Vancouver ?


Johnson on Utica, "Our travel is outstanding, very rarely do the players not sleep in their own beds. We are very thankful for the time in Utica and if stays there, I would be incredibly happy."

the differences between a good manager and a bad one are glaringly apparent some days.
