You think we need Stewart?

Calgary needs a 4/5 D yet all rumors seem to involve forwards. I don't get it.

Im one of his biggest critics but those last six or seven yrs made this season possible. Hes not perfect but he has signed excellent players to great contracts and and pretty much drafted an excellent team. Have to give credit where its due because now with those great contracts we wont be scrambling signing ahl players in a few yrs with three or four stars signed to over the top stupid contracts. This team is set to be good for a long Time.

The guy has picked at an average of #5 for 8 yrs. If he took the best player available in every draft they'd still be loaded. A (frank)ing monkey can do that.
I get a little sick of the teams who are lottery teams every season discussing how great of drafters they are.
Are u gonna credit the gm this yr for having the foresight to sect McDavid?

Kind of irrelevant here, not does it mean anything, but when was the last time we saw a 'Hawks rumor? I seriously can't remember the last time Ek mentioned the 'Hawks in anything.

I know they are limited cap-wise, but they'll probably add a bottom pairing D-man/bottom-six forward like they do every year.

Surprised they haven't been mentioned at all. Like not once.

Thats a good thing

If your team isn't mentioned in a rumor than most likely they are about to make a trade.

Only teams that are mentioned in rumors never make trades.

Thats the way this site works.

I don't think Kassian is going anywhere, especially the way he has been gaining chemistry with Matthias and Dorset.

Standing by....

I doubt its real. Probably a "maintenance day"

TSN 1050

It would appear Josh Georges and Chris Stewart have been traded. Stand by details.

Hamonic, cizikas, martin, dehaan (12th), grabner (waiver), hickey (waiver), lee (3rd round tied for rookie lead in goals this season), Nelson. Every one of these players were piicked out of the top five most in later rounds after the 3rd besides dehaan who went 12th and nelson who went 30th. Like I said I've always been critical but even I have to give credit. These players are all gigantic reasons for this teams resurgence. Hes not perfect but to think hes an idiot is pretty stupid in itself.

Like I said with all their draft picks the best ayer available they would be better

Ok. All of those teams let hamonic, lee, martin, and cizikas slip through their fingers in multiple rounds. Makes sense.

The 2009 draft yielded 4 current players on the NHL roster out of 7 picks. Including the currently streaking Anders Lee in the 6th round and Cizikas in the 4th.

The 2008 out draft yielded 4 full-time NHL'ers and a few borderline ones.

Your model franchises 2008 and 2009 drafts yielded 1 full-time NHL player. Combined.

Edit: and that player was superstar Cody Hodgson.

"Jim Nill confirms Tyler Seguin will be out for as long as 6 weeks. Dallas is 3 points out of a playoff spot. They have officially become one of the most aggressive teams in the trade market as they look to keep up"


Who are they targeting?

Sweet. Maybe they overpay for Bozak then regress

Don't you ever get tired of being the village idiot?
- elcabong

bozak is easily an upgrade on eller, but you are begging for him not to come to your team?

offensively there is not much difference, at least bozak has shown he can play with skilled players, something eller obviously can't do.

oh, and bozak and plekanec have nearly identical faceoff winning percentage.


who's the village idiot again? clearly you're just a bandwagoning habs fan, nice try though.

You think we need Stewart?

Not sure to be honest...

No , he wears it proud.
- VANTEL

ahahahahah

coming from the guy who called me an idiot all summer because i said luongo was going to get an awful return unless the nucks took salary back. what was your arguement again? oh yeah, the nucks have TWO ELITE GOALTENDERS AND WILL GET A MONSTER RETURN FOR ONE OF THEM.

result:

schneider + luongo for picks and prospects



AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA






nice try. if you're going to insult someone, make sure they didn't outsmart you when discussing a team you claim to be an expert on.

The thing is, genius, Montreal isn't looking to add a center. No where did I say Bozak wasn't good player.

Got to love the facts. No question the Islanders were helped being in the lottery. Still lots of players acquired outside the lottery. Islanders could have gotten impatient and traded the young talent away and did not.
