They're going to need those 2nd round picks and Bailey to acquire McDavid

Do they still have Chia?

From last thread, Mayfield, varly and Parise are up this year. Clutterbuck, aho, sorkin, Martin and Bailey are the following year

Yup and now that Old Man River has pushed all his chips into the middle of the table, he won’t move Varly or Mayfield. Depleting all our future assets to improve his 6th place team with a pricey rental was just brilliant

Saw about 30 seconds of the Allstate game but caught Horvat wearing his new number 14. Glad to see he’s embracing that fwiw.

So you know Horvat is leaving? Lou told you or maybe Bo himself?

I didn’t get to see it but 3 points against Man City is always good.

That's about where we figured an extension would fall. Hopefully he lives up to it. The decision certainly came through fast and given Bo's comments during the weekend he seemed to be plenty excited to be here.

Well the next chapter will now play out and it will be very interesting to see how the story goes from here.
I mean most on here already know and have known but I’m pretty excited to see it play out.

100% and if he and Barzal can develop some chemistry it’s what the Dr ordered.

Do you have any other moves Lou is going to make Nostradamus?

Yeah, I'm thrilled to have him at the moment but definitely have some anxiety about what it will look like in the long haul. It really becomes all about him v. Raty. If Bo continues at a 30g clip for a few years and Raty fails to become a top line player, I think it was well worth it. But if Raty becomes a 30g 60+ pt guy himself, we could be squirming a bit. I'm excited to see him arrive though. He's a good family & community guy and must have wanted to have come here all along.

Is that “too much money, too many years” quote from Lou that Rosner tweeted out actually true??
