I hope they keep getting Larrson and Henrique in pre season games to they are the two that are most ready come opening night as they will relied upon heavily to take their games to the next level.

Interesting quotes. I think that's a good idea to look for two guys at this point who show good chemistry. Much easier to find a guy to fit two guys play then try and find 3 guys with chemistry. Brunner should be signed especially after reading the quotes from other players about him.

Yeah need them to take a step this year for sure. I think they will i believe in both of them.

With the pairs, I think that is what DeBoer tried to do last year with Kovy-Zajac and Henrique-Elias.

My guess this yr is that the pairs might be:

Elias-Brunner.

Zajac-Jagr.

Henrique-Ryder.

Complete guess because of Jagr's injury.

If they keep Elias at Center what do they do with Lokti, Jo and Gio? I think they want Olesz as 3rd line LW similar to the Poni role in 2011-2012 playoff run.

I think they are both on the right track to that is for sure. If Henrique hits 25-30 goals and Larrson 35-40 points we will be more then ok.

With the game on RDS tonight there should be some streams around if people want to watch. I usually find solid hockey streams on www.sportlemon.tv and I know others have had success with firstrowsports.

I think now Brunner is a must sign. Young, speedy, play maker, and smart with the puck. We have a lot of depth if we sign him

Just saying, we dont always sign PTOs, although Brunner is a must and most likely will. In other news, I just went onto TSN, and the headline is "KADRI SAYS LUPUL HELD HIM BACK FROM JUMPING INTO MELEE". Watch out, we got a badass over here

just throwing this sales pitch out there again..

3 spots open in a 20 team league. This is the hockeybuzz league I've been running the past 3 years. Full rosters, 1 goalie. Stats include BLKS, Hits, FW, etc.

Draft is the 30th at 10:15pm EST.

may or may not be for money- just 10 bucks. Still on the fence with that.
If it were to include money it would be through paypal:
The 8 playoff teams would get their $10 back. 2 divisions- president's trophy gets bonus 10, other div winner gets bonus 5. Overall winner gets 45, 2nd place 30, 3rd place 20. 5th place (consolation winner) would get 10.

they may move Elias to wing just to get one of those scratched centers in the lineup. i think Lokti is too good to have on the bench. He's got speed and a decent shot.

Elias-Lokti-Brunner?
Zubrus-Zajac-Jagr
Clowe-Henrique-Ryder
Olesz-Carter-Bernier

shots in the dark but those are 4 legit lines.. and a really good top 3. Heck maybe they stick with Josefson-Elias-Brunner!
