So much media discussing the hilariously bad player usage by Babcock. I was so ahead of my time.

Time to put the offersheet fantasy to bed and talk about something relevant

So we gave up those futures for a 3rd-pair D? LOL. And Muzzin looked so much better with Rielly.
IMO, there will be some serious head-butting over this between Babs and Dubas,.

Almost have to wonder how that one is going to play out in the end there, seems like there is a pretty good divide on things. Wonder if Lou was more in line with Babs?

This should be an interesting underlying story to come

Zaitsev had carry-on only; Babs had 2 check-in bags.

The entire trip, Zaitsev let Babs use his luggage allowance, so Babs didn’t have to pay overage.

So Zaitsev was fantastic, the whole trip.

There's probably the usual amount of wrangling as there is in a lot of GM Coach relationships, but most of the drama is probably overblown and mostly exists on fanboy message boards.

Hope that one of the top 3 goalies in the world does his job and stops the puck?

Blah blah. Hainsey sucks, Babs sucks, Nylander is cool again. Cry about Muzzin being on the 3rd pairing on some dudes peice of paper. Yada yada #34 should get more TOI.

Well if those 2 get caught out there against Ovi and Backstrom ... Freddie will get plenty of practice ...

For whatever reason, the more shots he gets against him, the better he plays. So that's a plus, at least.

OV isn't playing with Backstrom outside the PK and Gardiner doesn't play the PK.
