If the Oilers ever sign Draisaitl, you're getting Nuge, so there's that.

Signed, the defunct blogger who thought he was better than everyone and is now blog-job-less.

like before next offseason ?

No

Dont you mean Clendening? Glendening sucks and Detroit still wouldn't give him up because they like useless players.

N. Cousins will make the team, he will surprise everyone except me, lol. The Flyers should never have traded him, he plays feisty and draws two or three penalties most games. His ceiling can only go up.

James, Stempniak has not retired in fact he plays a decent roll in Carolina. I find it hard to believe you know so little about some players, ie Cousins and Stempniak

man, even you sound down on Duclair, and I thought you were the last holdout on him

YOu find it hard to believe that I couldn't remember if Stepniak - who is like 35 or more - retired or not?

I find it hard to believe you take it for granted that an amateur hockey blogging enthusiast should have an encyclopedic knowledge of fourth line players and minutia.

I am a fan of his potential and his game. But I just don't think it's sensible to guarantee a roster spot to a guy without a contract who spent time last year in the AHL. Doesn't mean he can't still regain his star trajectory, he's like 21 or 22.

Yea but even as an amateur blogger, is it all that hard to open a new tab and do a quick google search or two? I wouldn't call 40+ pts in back to back seasons 4th line production either. I like your blogs, but your own lack of enthusiasm in your blogs caught me off guard. I thought you cared more about your work than that

I honestly thought he retired.

Keller will be a damn good player.

An enjoyable sentence right there - made me chuckle

About Stemp; 460 points in 872 games doesn't exactly scream 4th line, does it?
And of course he's one of few that's, in spite of decent #'s, been shopped around a lot. Playing for his 10th team...

Were you watching Donnie Darko recently? You had to be.

Yeah obviously Stepniak isn't a fourth liner, but I will exaggerate to make a point whenever I feel like it, thanks.

I hate that movie haven't seen it in years and don't plan on seeing it again.

Gonna be disappointed if you don't...

Meh, never impressed me too much. Good 4th line center, leaves much to be desired as anything higher, but could improve. Don't really mind the trade since we probably would've lost him in expansion anyways.

All the songs you picked this blog play pivotal roles in that movie and are on the soundtrack.

The August 20th episode of game of thrones was leaked today. Want me to ruin it for you? It was a good one for the bad guys.

I just wanted to hear that Joy Division song and then the INXS song has a similar title so I paired them. That's also probably what the soundtrack director of that movie did.

Came of thrones will end with Danerys marrying John Snow just before they get murdered and the dumb queen - her name is escaping me, the one who sleeps with her brother - wins the whole thing.

That's just my guess based on the books. I don't know where the show is, I heard they moved beyond where the books stopped.
