Hilarious that Jonesy keeps naming Vegas as the team to emulate.
- Tomahawk


He'd have to steal Dallas' scouting staff if he wanted to emulate them. That would be a better choice to emulate.

Jones was mostly speaking about how their defense was assembled. A group full of big mobile guys who play a heavy game.

Then why target drysdale?!?!? Especially with York in tow??

What an asshat.

Agreed... they need to happen but I am not sure they will. TK, I would say, is 90% going to get extended. Laughts most likely will stay put and Torts loves Cam too much to send him to the AHL.

I think all of this happens

Not surprised that's his only takeaway from their Cup run
- Tomahawk


It is the truth though. Size on the back end has correlated to winning championships in even recent history. Not in the forward ranks though

I've only heard Jonesy fanboying for the Knights after he was hired.
- Tomahawk


He's that simple all he can do is slurp the most recent champs.

Your Awful.


Might as well add a TK extension at 8 year for 10 mil per

- J35Bacher


8 x $9m is my guess. Lots of signing bonuses.

That would be the dumbest thing the Flyers can do, so of course they will do it.
- MBFlyerfan


I don't think it would be that dumb. They won't be competitive next season or the one after. Save a bit of cash, and get at least one of the geezers out the door.

what a great coach. wow just amazing analysis.

-thinks they need to have a organizational discussion about the power play. all involved.

-rocky is a fantastic coach. doesn't look like he will be removed from the PP based on what he said. said pp can't be as bad with the people "we" have; more or less blaming them. said rocky has out of the box pp ideas and need to discuss it.

- said didn't practice 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 enough. he admitted he failed in that ere

Torts says Couturier and him argue a lot and disagree about many things, but have a "strong" relationship

Correlation =/= Causation

And IIRC the Avs' blueline wasn't that big outside of EJ and Manson.

Aggravates me that Torts took no ownership of his use of Couturier and how it may have affected him late in the season.

Though he did say in some ways he will give both Coots and Atkinson a pass for this season after coming back from major injury.

Buyout would be stupid.

Agree. It's one more year. Just let it play out. Next season will be as irrelevant as this season.
