Anyone think Sam Reinhart may be available this summer?
Bowser, McCann Package?

Too much of a beast to let go.

I am not worried about the home record or lack of it.

When we were healthy early in the year we were doing fine and sitting around 10 th spot .

Our young players took about 30 games to find their stride and confidence.

Our D did/does suck ,but is being fixed as we speak.

New Acquisitions like Etem seem to be coming along nice.

We are finally a team that has speed ,experience , youth ,talent and adding some grit.

Accept that this is an off year and we will be back at it next year.

I agree with everything except Etem. Seems like a project that is not making progress.

You want to package McCann who is in his first rookie year, and Boeser who is getting Oshie/Toews-like numbers in his ROOKIE season in the NCAA for Sam Reinhart?
- Codes1087

I haven't seen boeser or Reinhart in person, but ya, I think some would like the deal.

Cant judge Boeser til hes played a game although I do think he could be a very good player. Not an allstar, but a solid top 6 forward.
- vancity787

Thats a pretty good take on Boesser.
His sniping n desire really stand out IMO.
The kid really has some skills for a freshman.
Next year at UND will tell us s much more but til then he's not done n a Frozen 4 spot will tell us much more this season. No matter what the kid is on the radar fir every NHL team i'm sure. His stock is higher than any draftee i can think in quite awhile that we have picked. #23 was a dynamic pick however its sliced.

I thought Vey Etem and JM look good together . Still to early to get totally behind them or throw them away. I liked what I see when Etem and Vey are together. If they ever start finishing , it will be a good third line

Bieber... in a blog, Carol, please tell me you aren't a Beliber, I'd seriously start to question your credibility lol.

No, not a Belieber like Jake.

His music's not really my style, but I root for the little guy. I like seeing him work to make it out of the teen-star box, which is so hard to do.

As a DJ, I can also say that his appeal has really broadened with this most recent record. It's now completely socially acceptable for under-25 guys and soccer moms to like him as well as the teen girls.

If not traded he can grow n improve like Sven did.
If not he moves on or waived to Utica if we r lucky.
He will be cheap as an RFA for us which helps.

Maybe but tbh its a pipe dream at best n not happening.
Eichel n Reinhart r dynamic together therefore their top line for many years to come. The synergy is off the charts.

I am shocked you know that much.

I know his name is Beiber and I think he has a song called Baby Baby ? After that I can only say he is Cananda's version of Kim Kardashian

They are not trading him.

Vey too gets a lot of negative comments but you don't put someone you intend to get rid of on the first PP unit and in key situations.

Canucks just traded for Etem and gave up a first rounder. He is going nowhere.

He's as socially acceptable as herpes or gonorrhea (and about as painful and embarrassing)

When I had young guys requesting Biebs' new song, "Sorry," at every holiday party I worked this year, the writing was on the wall.

Wasn't suggesting either r traded.
i agree too early to give up on both at their ages.
It goes against what JB is doing n up to bim to figure it out.
I simply wonder how he can keep them without clearing waivers.
Holefully we have the luxury of roster spots.

The puck was in the other end most of the night when that line was on . Coaches and GMs like that.

Yes its huge in todays NHL to do that.
Its what LA excels at.

I understand that some people stand fast on this, but the earth is shifting beneath your feet.

He's pretty endearing in this edition of "Carpool Karaoke" with James Corden. And he can even do a Rubik's Cube!

Did Tryamkin step onto the ice alone for warmup or is that expected when he plays his first NHL game?

Just the game, I think. You can see in the pic on the blog that he's third in line in that photo as he comes out. He's the big #88.

Unless they are showcasing Vey to sign and trade in offseason.
It does seem like we have a couple too many young and unproven RFAs with Vey, Sven, Etem Granlund.
Depends on if Gaunce, zalweski, or a draftee earn a spot next year...something had to give.

Cmon Gramps.
You are usually good for giving credit where credit is due.

Hat trick for Chris Higgins in today's Comets game!

U touch on what we have not seen here.
Young kids pushing each other for a roster spot.
Early signs of JB's plan is working.

Sven shouldn't be on that list. The guy has shown me he should be on the second line now, and has potential for first line material.
