Delauries is an RFA. I bet he's retained for a year or 2 at very cheap. And is likely the extra forward next year...

Bigger question is what happens to Ennis, Girgensons, Moulson, Larsson, Foligno and Gionta.

I think 2 or 3 of the above are moved.

If they are serious about being a playoff team, then Bailey is up, and they either waive, or find a trade for Moulson.

We would still have to watch his lazy a$$ through next season though, right? That's what bugs me.

I think u switch Fasching and Kane....Disco Dan doesn't seem to want to split up the "two-somes" (ROR-Kane, Eichel-Reinhart)

But yes...that lineup makes me go from 6 to midnight

Why is everyone so high on Bailey? Didnt he have 0 points in whatever amount of games he played? I know he played fast, is big and has been playing well in Rochester but he has to show better hands in the NHL to be a top 9 type.of.player

Doesn't look that impressive as compared to when they are laid out in lines.

Defense looks even worse...

McCabe
Gorges

and this is an honest question...

Is it a big no-no to put someone on the wrong side according to their handedness?

I play soccer...i'm right footed and i love playing the left side because I can cut back in on a break and have it on my dominate foot

Does it work the same way in hockey?

It's a big no no. Takes away the one timer

It's why Vanek b!tched and moaned when he was put on his off wing.

You do not mess with it.

He's good enough to be a bottom 6 player in the NHL IMO

Cause he has a few things you can't teach...speed and size. Plus his shot is really good. He didn't have a point but he was all over the ice. He's an ideal 3rd liner that can play top 6 minutes due to an injury and won't seem out of place.

He is also lighting it up in Rochester

Don't agree - playing the offwing allows for one-timers. Tougher for dmen to play the offside, cuz They're on the backhand wehn along the boards

Fair enough - suppose reinhart had 0 points in 9 games too last year.

It's actually easier for D-men to play the off hand than forwards. But it's not ideal for either especially a 20 year old kid.

Went to Laughlin for a couple days while there got a text, there is a fall back plan if they don't get Stamkos................... get your popcorn people.

Which is?

It better not be P. Kane. They don't have enough assets to get him.

Has to be a switch from forward to defense.

Edit: Don't know of any other FA that would be as exciting as Stamkos, so I would expect it would be from trade. Not much to offer.

Predators continue their (frank)ing over of the Sabres by stomping on the Blue Jackets...

No offense 89 but wouldn't this be pretty obvious??

Could see Edmonton still wanting to get a defenceman and trading us for our 6th-9th draft pick for Taylor Hall. We'd obviously have to give up a roster player or two as well.

I don't know and if it is, so be it. Just going by what I was told
