Eklund: Islanders/Habs/NJ Talking to Prospal (e4) and Kings and Habs talk.

Not much there, in the free agent market right now. It's sure gotten quiet fast. Summertime has officially hit!

FIRST...damn..2nd

FIRST
- 7xTippet

No - the guy before you was first. Does everyone get a Vinny?

Yeah, Vinny Barberino!

Loved Vinny when he was here, even though he wasn't here long. One time he dropped a card of mine in a puddle and gave me $5 to buy a new one.. then he signed it after the practice was over! Good guy, he'll find a home.

I'll pass, thank you.

Isles don't have room for Prospal.... maybe the Devils, they have some ca$h to spend!!!

Isles just resigned Bailey... first time they spent over the cap in years!!!

Prospal would be better suited to go to a team where he can play a bottom 6 role and PP time. Don't think he can be a vocal point in a contending teams offense.

I wasn't aware he was still in the NHL.

Yeah, Vinny Barberino!

And his cousin -- also named Vinny

vinny's gameplan is to let the other team's player get there first and hope to strip him of the puck after? i can see why so many are interested.

Toronto may sign him... they need someone to play with Bozak!!!

Leafs getting desperate after Isles locked up Peter (frank)ing Regin

And his cousin -- also named Vinny

Vinny Tuscadero

Vinny Tuscadero
- MountAlbert

Vinny van Gogh - goalie with the Canucks. One of their 12 top three in the NHL

So about that ''pipeline'' trade....where is it?

I think the Devils' money is better spent on Brunner, Henrique, and Raymond. But hey, I trust Lou.

No thank you...Lupul and Kessel will do just fine...3rd line maybe...but it seems that hole has been filled by Colborne or Trevor Smith or possibly Ashton Carter...

"but what Prospal can do is let you get to the puck first, then strip the puck from you and send his winger on a breakaway as quickly as many of the best the game has ever seen. "

When has this happened?

You know things are boring when we're speculating on where Vinny Prospal will go...

First,The Habs missed out on Getzlaf, Perry, Giroux, Lucic and others because Timmins is terrible at the draft, Second, Nobody good wants to play in Montreal, and finally, We fans at Hockey Inside Out know there are players that have BOTH size and skill, but our team cant distunguish who they are.

Timmins is pretty good at drafting, its our GMs that keep making terrible trades or letting FAs walk away for nothing and ruining the team...

Vinny Tuscadero
- MountAlbert

You're thinking of Pinky Tuscadero. Sorry, but thanks for playing!

Timmins bad at the draft? Take a look at the draft picks and how many become NHLers. By your logic when a player like Zetterberg is chosen in the 7th round it means that every team was stupid and horrible at drafting 7 times before someone finally got it right?

When it comes to the draft you are predicting what a player is going to become 5-6 years down the road when their skills, size, muscle mass and maturity has been fully developed.

I beleive the habs under Timmins have produced either the most or at least top 3 in terms of number of NHLErs. If anything he's doing it right except for a select few busts.
