Boyes is 3rd all time among active skaters in shootouts, behind Pavel Datsyuk and Jussi Jokinen respectively:

Maybe they don't.
Then we throw paper at O'Reilly.
What will he fetch?
$3.5-$4M tops?

And they go thanks for the very nice cap hit for the next 4/5yrs.

Landeskog brings good bang for the buck.
He's @ 41pts this year so far on a line no better than we have right now.
Never said we would ask for COL's 1st.
TV+ (picks/players) for GL & RO'R+ (picks or players)

- Purple Eagle


I doubt they're going to trade Landeskog, but Vanek wouldn't be a bad fit there. Especially since his cap his is currently higher than his actual salary. That actually makes him more attractive for teams like Colorado, Florida, Nashville, and Phoenix.

Any one catch that Schiestal was re-assigned to the Texas Stars? That can't be a good sign.

He's going to get a 10+yr contract somewhere around 5mil from colorado is my guess.

Duchene gets the same but close to 6mil.




This is why Stastny is available to the highest bidder. This is the old Avs that are free spending. They will be back to that in about 4-5yrs though.

Winnipeg is having a parade to celebrate being in 8th place on march 6th. I think its appropriate.

No. Aren't the Texas Stars Dallas's AHL team?

I don't see the value in Stastny.
If we could get him for $4M, I'd give him a look.
$6.6M?

I think so...the only reason to do that is because he isnt getting enough playing time in Roch and maybe they are short on D and they want him to play...idk.

What's the deal with that? Is he still Sabres property?

I know they had to set their clear day rosters. Maybe if he's still Sabres property they wanted him to get some ice time somewhere if he wasn't on their final roster for the remainder of the season?

He is an RFA at seasons end.


Maybe the Stars want to take a close look at him?


Other than that, no that can't be good.

I didn't know they could do that. Huh. I learn new things every day. I did see they had to have a distinct roster set for the remainder of the season based on AHL by laws. I'm guessing that had something to do with it.

Up untill last year he was at an almost ppg pace.



Team isn't very good around him.

Give him top notch wingers and watch him flourish.

Ya, they had to set their 22 man clear day rosters. Anyone not on that roster can;t play in the remainder of the season or playoffs except for emergency circumstances

I'm really referring to the trash talk that has been here. The atmosphere was great, and has been all year, but you have to remember that building is 30% smaller that other buildings in the NHL. There isnt anything going on there that isn't going on in Montreal.

I understand that part. I just didn't know they could send players to other teams like that.

Vancouver did that with Paetsch 2 years ago.


They sent him to Rochester to play instead of the Moose.

Kinda wierd.....then again sounds similar to when Avery was assigned to Hartford(NYR AHL team) while still being paid by the Stars organization.

Edit - nm, I guess the stars didn;t have an AHL affiliate that year
