The time Ruutu hit Pronger and Prongers face got jammed in the partition and he points to Ruuto and says "I'm going to kill you". Ruutu later says in a interview that he had never been so scared in his life....

Living with a family full of Hawks fans, Pronger is one of the most hated players here, mainly for his actions during the 2010 finals vs Chicago. Any mention of his name or the name Raffi Torres around here just gets people like

I'm 90% sure he can still get a 2nd round pick right now and at the TDL from multiple teams. I don't see him pulling a Kesler and saying SJ or nothing.

Not gonna lie take a run at Hodgson once he gets bought out. Sign him for 1.5 mil X 3 and see what happens. Maybe henrik and Dany can straighten him out

I for one am fairly content with the draft given the constraints. Of course it's a wait and see on the talent drafted but that will take time. We will however see what Benning is made of with upcoming moves - not so much free agency but more so in moving out some older guys and paving way for a refresh/rebuild. I'm not expecting much for Bieksa if he goes (2nd round 2016 maybe).

And even Horvat was a lucky return. It could've been disasterous

Now that's how a good GM operates. Take note Benning. Learn from the pros.

Stay in school.

JB in 1 year on the job n made the playoffs.
Changing assets takes time n not his NTC's he's left with r his doing.
U need to exercise vision n a plan n not whats directly in front of your nose.
I'm betting here n now we won't find u giving anyone credit down the road.
Bandwagon jumper u r n always will be.

It was supporting another point that the goaltending market is crap. Drafting an 18y/o kid is risky regardless of what round. Even now it isn't a sure thing to work out, many prospects have excellent rookie seasons and fail to replicate (not saying Horvat has shown any indication of such, but anything can happen)
