EK said LA wll be shopping Doughy/Quick by the deadline.

Edler/Tanev/Gaunce/Granlund package?

lol

Why does everyone want to take short cuts? Rebuilds take time. Signing Karlsson would turn out infinitely worse than the Loui signing
- CanuckDon

Yes plus it appears Karlsson is tapering off a bit.

If we need to go after a dman why not inquire on a RHD we need like Petroangelo?

Yeah his zero goals and two assists seem to be really driving that offensive bus from your backend

4. Rasmus Andersson is so steady

I have been Andersson's biggest supporter for years. I gave him a 1st round grade in his draft class and ranked him ahead of Lawson Crouse (at the time, that was a hotter scouting take than having Crouse above Mitch Marner – crazy, I know). Like anyone who makes projections on a lot of players, I'm wrong sometimes too. I am feeling pretty good about my call on Andersson, though. The guy is just so steady out there. Offensively, he looks very comfortable with the puck and has contributed whenever the opportunity has arisen. Defensively, his calming influence has really shown up. On a couple occasions, plays broke down and it looked like the Oilers would get a really good opportunity only for Andersson to recover and turn a dangerous situation into nothing. He's already a very sound player and he's only going to get better with time. The Flames have a good one here.

who wrote this...His (frank)ing mom?

It’s ironic that the flyers fan that is always praising Hextall for patience and building through the draft is so eager to take a disastrous shortcut.
- CanuckDon

Lol yes.... seems a little hasty
I wouldn t go for him, his game is declining and he's going to hit a homerun contract. Luongo style . No thanks to another albatross contract for aging stars thanks . I'd rather overpay the youth

Game Day!

Lots of drama surrounding the Blue Jackets in Columbus as the Canucks roll into town riding their most positive wave in more than a month.

I like him but it’s costly so rather EK UFA.
