Mike Weaver was the only one I'm upset about... well Grabner too.

Sundin was a great signing, money didn't matter. Mitchell was the reason we lost to the Hawks in the playoffs, and he was due a big raise.

He traded for Samuelsson for Sturm, he didn't sign him.

How can you say trading Shirokov was a huge blunder. The same for trading away SOB...

VanHockeyGuy doesn't like Gillis. Period. I still say Nonis was far worse.

We haven't heard from Carol, I'm worried.

She's probably out partying with the locals (I wouldn't be surprised if she needs bail funds - should we forward? or do we let her learn that young ladies shouldn't be involved in any extracurricular hi-jinx? I say we send the funds but with a caveat that she be confined to her hotel room after 9 PM)

(frank) that, it's all Jake Milford's fault. If you are going to complain about the past start with the problem.

Tessier wasn't bad. But I think she is great.

Hope she is happy and enjoying her job. I like her work and she comes across as very professional- not a lot of company for her on the high road.

You do realize that every team has several NHL contracts in the ECHL right? Dane Fox ring a bell?

We already have more than enough with 3(Cannata/Fox/Blomstrand). How many teams have more than 3?

I'd take Gillis over both Burke and Nonis.

I'm sure many teams have 3 or more, but to compare Stewart to Cannata/Fox/Blomstrand is silly. Those 3 were all signed after impressive seasons....Stewart not so much.

I believe the plan is also to promote all 3 to the AHL next year.

Isn't this what we want? Sign our draftees and develop them as opposed to drafting them and never see them play minor Pro ever? Patrick White, Libor Polasek and on and on.....

true.

I'll wait and see what JB can do with this mess but I'll use a line from Django Unchained to sum up my feelings so far...

"Cause as of now, if this is an example, I ain't impressed."

Man, youre just whining for the sake of whining now......
- chompsey

He's a fringe WHL player, the fact management likes these types of guys scares me a little. If that makes me the whiner here then so be it.

Exactly. Those guys at least had a somewhat decent pedigree before they were drafted.

If the coaches we have in the ECHL/AHL can turn fringe CHL'ers into NHL hopefuls then I'll be ecstatic.

So James Tanner thinks Kadri is in the same tier as Ryan Johansen.

This has to be Ian Esplen.

He's a leaf fan troll blogger, a real stain on this respected website.

I actually feel sorry for Hodgson, his career is now permanently (frank)ed whether or not he gets bought out. No one is ever going to risk giving him a long-term big money contract thanks to his indifferent play and the baggage he brings with him in the form of his dad (who, if rumor is to be believed, did more damage than help him by being too involved). At this point he'll be lucky to find a spot on an AHL team
- DariusKnight

Well I gotta I don't feel sorry.. the guy will make over 20 mill.... more than most of us make in a lifetime to play a sport. Good move on Gillis though as I think we now know who won that trade.
