I still only believe the following peeps:

Bob "the pimp" McKenzie
Pierre LeBrun
Elliot Friedman
Renaud Levoie

And sometimes Dreger.

Dreger went to the bad place. Joined by Botch, after he joined TSN.

Lavoie is another good one. Friedman I have just outside those guys. After that, Scooby is right up there.

Did you hear that idiot Bill Watters on 1040 this morning? Holy sh!t. I cannot believe he's still allowed to publicly voice... words. Made Pratt seem like a freakin' hockey genius. Scary.

That whole show is unexcusable

Watters took it to a new low this morning. Almost drove off the road trying to change the station.

Bans and draft


Oh and Vantel fans

I'd be able to live with an overpay for 1st overall a bit more if the pick was Bennett, but I'd much rather keep the rumoured assets involved plus Ehlers than just having Reinhart.

You see your boy Sammy b doing pull ups on tsn?

My 2 cents on Detroit are that the Weiss contract is holding them back.
- golfingsince

That contract did become an albatross real quick but you'd have to imagine a compliance buyout might be on the table if Kesler were acquired.

Nucker you need center depth to win in this league. The Leafs have some great wingers, they're picking two behind us. Draisailt Bennett & Reinhart are the way to go.

I don't think it qualifies as it was signed last summer wasn't it ?

Trolling?

Hawks thread?

That might be one of the weirder stories I've heard come out of the combine in a while. Especially for a top prospect.

Agreed but I'd still be happy with ehlers. C is a prime commodity but what is Crosby without his kunitz

Haha Def was super awkward. Ekblad lifting him up? Weird.

Plenty of time for him to get stronger, I've seen him outbattle bigger defensemen in junior, the guy works his ass off and plays with an edge. Very good speed and skill as well. If anything, the lack of strength leaves room for more growth and upside compared to a prospect who's already playing at close to his max playing weight and muscle mass.

Who's Nucker?


Would you pay Shunkaruk, Tanev, 6th for Reinhart?

Tell that to the Blackhawks.

Exactly. If he's an alpha before he can do a (frank)ing pull-up, watch out... Beast.

Nucker, you don't need to convince me. I'd have the hugest hard on if we landed him. I like sam r the most but b is super close. So is draisaitl. I have zero problems with any one. Sam b is feisty and we need that.

- EagleNuck

Yes, shink would be my only question mark but I've got about 5 reasons to believe Reinhart is more of a franchise player than what he's projecting as.

For a brighter future, yes I'd be ok with that. Minority probably but, I'm a build thru the middle guy.

- golfingsince

Ah that's right. And after his injury-riddled season there is a 0% chance he gets traded. They've got cap space ($16m) with a few RFA and UFAs to re-sign. I think they could make it work and have Weiss line up as a 3rd line C. Or perhaps Babcock has seen the light and plans to deploy Kes on both W and C. I'll stop speculating now...
