Dude, c'mon.

Should have started happening 2 or 3 years ago instead of waiting until they had to clear waivers.

I don't think anyone thought of late round picks like Jensen and Marchenko as being top tier guys...I think Jensen is a 2nd pair guy on a decent team based solely on his skating. On a Cup team he's a 3rd pairing guy who can play with the second unit when injuries hit. Given his draft position..he's a steal. Given his offensive instincts...I' love to see him on the wing for a bit Sproul was the OHL dman of the year and Oullett is smart...his skating never developed much so that hamstrings him. He's another bad team 2nd/ good team 3rd pairing guy who could have been more with better wheels. Sproul has been slow to develop...but the potential is there. He's big, has a cannon for a shot (RH) and he can skate. At 23 yrs old..he's at the crossroads. the tools for a top pairing ...or at the very least a really good second pairing ..are there. I've seen a fair amount of Vili...he's a top pairing guy potentially. Sambrook is another guy who has a future. Haven't seen enough of Hronek, Cholo or anyone else to say. I want to see how Holway develops in college.

Griffins win Game 1 3-1... Game 2 tomorrow night at 8 PM Cally, Street, Ford (PP) the goal scorers

Isn't there a rule that anyone who wants a crack at Corey Perry gets it? Come on, ref. Brush up on your rulebook.

Holy Flying Catfish! Nashville takes game 5 with an amazing performance and there's even a fight before the game ends.

Well, the free health care sure is nice. I just had my gall bladder removed, which was only a one night stay in hospital, but the room for one night, surgery, pre-op emergency care and post-op nurses, medications, etc. would have cost a bundle out of pocket elsewhere. Some do pay high income taxes (the ones that make over a certain dollar amount), but some comes back at tax return time every year. The sales tax is ridiculous though. We've had some horrible Ontario governments in the past (and currently) who have wasted taxpayer dollars on a massive scale, and the only solution is to keep taxes high to keep the coffers full. Alberta has it easy paying only 5%.

I don't know about that... For me anyway, and I know some others as well, seen it more as Sproul being the only guy with top pair potential. Ouellet and Jensen as bottom 4 guys and Marchenko as a bottom pair guy. And honestly, not much has changed for me, except for Sproul, unless he can get out of Detroit... I see all as middle pairing guys at the NHL level. Maybe one might surprise and become and solid number two, but I highly doubt any develop into the stud number one we so badly need.

Yup. He's ridiculous. It's insane that in the course of two years the Preds lost Weber AND Jones and their defense is better than it was. Must be nice. Then again, Ryan Ellis is completely underrated and he's on the same team. So maybe it's a trend. Edit: Oh, and Peter Laviolette is probably the league's most underrated coach, so it's probably a trend.
