thought he had a good playoffs with the Panthers before we got him.

People said he looked good with Campbell, evidently Hutton is not Campbell.

I don't want to talk about Forsling.

sounds like a fit with the Canucks

Toronto down 2-0four minutes in against Vegas. They have brutal defenseman and terrible team defense.

Hutton is in his 3 rd year and Stecher in his 2 nd . I think both are smart players and will continue to get better as we continue to upgrade.

Happy New Year - thanks for hanging in through thick n' thin in 2017!

On Erik Gudbranson>

Deal is getting VERY Close I am told...So close that it is likely in the next few days...Sounds like the Leafs and Sabres are the closest...followed by the NY Islanders...

Let's start debating the offers

Are you positive on your stance or reserve the right to flip flop?

I like both, just wish they weren't rushed. but as you said, they are still developing.

And didn’t play against the Oilers.
Yup those Hawks r a real juggernaut with that stud on their team.
