Apparently Milbury once tried to do the same thing with St. Louis, bizarrely, they said no.

I'm never in hiding, just on suicide watch.

If you want to troll, there's a few people in the Flames forum still defending the Jankowski pick.

If I have to hear another update about the Vermont (frank)in' Catamounts!

Seriously, can we please do something about this video automatically starting?
This does NOTHING for those of us who are trying to sneak in a little HB at work!


- As_I_See_It


YES! For the love of god at least change the video that auto starts or just get rid of that one.

Brutal!

What was the difference in draft standings that year?

Because turning down the chance to do the whole damn draft again just because Murray is marginally better than Reinhart is insane.

God, the Isles suck. And Howson is officially the worst GM in the league.

He wouldn't say the year he tried to do it.

Regarding that last statement, Snow might be his equal if he tried to do that.

Just heard a rumor Calgary is really going to suck this year....they are going to trade kipper to toronto, boweaster to minnesota, iginla to Pittsburgh. This will in turn reward first overall selecting Nathan mackinnon.

Now on to flyers news....

Get the facts right...

Snow was only going to do the trade under the condition that YAKUPOV was AVAILABLE AT #2. Which, if you watched the draft, he wasn't...thus, no trade.

Would you trade the #4 and #34 pick along with 5 project prospects out of which maybe 1 will make it to the NHL as a lower tier player for Yakupov?? ...I would.

He's a gauranteed talent and future star who would play this year and many years to come on the wing with Tavares. Trading a bunch of crapshoots for a future star is worth it.

So why didn't he make that offer to Edmonton then???

EK isnt so mighty when everything he says, the complete opposite happens. for example: JVR NOT FOR SCHENN 3 hours later, Schen traded for JVR.

This blog has really enhanced my knowledge of the potential moves over the next week.

Thanks, Ek for another insightful blog filled with information that only an insider of the NHL could have!

Underrated goalie.....was hoping maybe Leafs could swing a deal for him if WPG couldn't re-sign him.
