I thought it was the snowflakes that kept whining and complaining? 😉

Agents can comment on their clients....

lol I realise that. It's just funny how we attach the 'Canadian' Moniker to athletes that weren't born in this country (eg. Donovan Bailey, Ben Johnson, Lennox Lewis etc) because we can't produce top CDN-born athletes in a certain sport. Sure they might be Canadian citizens since they were small children...but doesn't technically mean they ARE 'Canadian'.

Anyone listen to Benning this morning? Hinting about a move down at the draft?


I did find it funny that he suggested taking BPA and very next sentence well we could move down.
- VANTEL

You move down if the talents you identify are similar to the ones available later. Getting extra compensation for it sounds like BPA to me.

So the first Raiders fan throws the first punch then his friends jump in after.


So gross.

Niskanen for Gudas, seems like a home run for philly

Woo plays in the NHL?
- Marwood

Not yet, still a sign the defence is under reconstruction. Cause he plays defence. It’s a position in hockey. I know you rarely speak on the subject, so i thought i would clarify just in case.

He has hinted at this many times . I am thinking he is going to pull the trigger unless Zegras or Broberg is there.

Flyers have to retain 1/3 salary and Niskanen thinks he had an off year last year. Still a good deal IMO. I seen they are targeting Kadri also and maybe Trouba . Swinging for the fences this year.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Canucks improving their defense this coming season. I found it interesting that Woo was part of that conversation.

I don't have a love for either of those players. Something about so much of the top talent being from the US national team makes me hesitant about getting all excited about many of their prospects. For some reason I think Newhook is my pick.

I like him & Krebs both. Boldy i hope falls to us.

I like Newhook. I think we will get a good player. I just don't want Dach or Cozens. After that I am fine .

I think Dach and Cozens will be gone before we pick.

This is the splash I am hoping for.

I doubt Ottawa is interested in Tanev, he's too old to be a fit there. If it was possible I'd be on board though

Fair. I think as the roster stands he’s got a pretty good chance of making the team if I’m being honest. Not that i think he’s NHL ready. Looked real good though in W, i think he’s going to turn some heads. And our d might be the worst in the league outside the 40 games per year edler/tanev are healthy.

This just seems so bad. 10th for 19th and 32nd. Leave the Ahler out of it. He makes Hutton look like a shut down guy. [/img]

I'd rather see him start in Utica until he deserves a call up, of course, unless he blows everyone's socks off at training camp and pushes for a top 6 role.
I'm uneasy anointing young talent (see Juolevi) until they have proven themselves on the farm team.

Still too young for Comets. Probably back to Jr.

That’s usually my opinion too but Utica isnt an option yet. Juolevi will be in a Canucks jersey before christmas. Book it Minivan!
