I would offer next years first or OS him. You would overpay in the first two years but then you get a Boychuck type D for the next 5 years

the problem with an offer sheet is we are going to be terrible again next year. you could potentially be giving a way another top 5 pick.

I think the Hawks agree with you and within two weeks so will the Stars.

yup exactly dont get how you dont at least try and get hamhuis he was clearly the best option out there and was kinda surprised the hawks went ladd over hamhuis and then did nothing for the blue line.

Doesn't bother me at all, all in good fun

We will finish top half of the league next year.

Ask yourself if Hamhuis is a game changer? If the answer is yes then you are part of the CJ . If no welcome to the dark side

In that case we have to get rid of all our D-men.

Thank you...an offer sheet is incredibly stupid for a rebuilding club.

Can we offer sheet Babcock? With the right coach we can roll out Bart, Weber and Bieksa and win the cup

44-10 and Philly wins... This is bullpoop. Neuvirth can't keep this up. Can he?

If you are suggesting re-acquiring Bieksa, I'm going to have to ban you.

If they really are rebuilding then they should be dumping assets like the twins and Edler. The problem is Canucks have not decided to rebuild .

Utica lost.

Their web site is garbage.

Your definition of rebuild is not shared by all of the posters here

I'm saying coach trumps players. Bieksa was a random selection

I disagree. There isnt just one model of rebuilding where you force players to waive and trade them and never sign any experience to play with your young players.

The "Edmonton Model" sucks btw. You need some experience.

The Edmonton model is awful. It will be years before they are competitive. 19 year old kids can't lead a professional sports team

That's right, lets just keep it that way!

On a side note, no the coach isn't more important than the players. If it was, Babcock would have more than 1 Stanley Cup. The players are incredibly important. Sure, a good coach can make the most out of their plugs, but their stars are what carry the team.

I was being sarcastic. I feel a coaches influence is supremely over rated by some. I do NOT want Bieksa back!

We overvalue all of our players

Ok, one bottle of red down the hatch and just finished watching Wicked Tuna....let's debate.
