Are you gonna be like this for the next 24 hours? I kid. Have at it. Unleash the beast.

We signed filppula?! Holland really needs to go!

[bursts through door] IT'S FILAPOOLA TIME!

Left shooting Dman. Swedish. 10 pt capabilities. Nice nice.

How is this guy a professional athlete?

I like the Filppula signing... ONLY if we're trading Nielsen... Please trade Nielsen...

Eklund is saying Carolina is looking at Jonathan bernier and then wrote you can’t make this stuff up ..... you just did hahaha

I hope we get Suter and Parise. If we can only have one, Suter.

The problem is that you want to trade AA for a fantasy. You hope that all these other kids will make AA expendable; you hope we'd get a high first; you hope we'd take a kid you like with that pick; you hope that kid will become something good. It's like selling your house for slot machine credits. Maybe you'll win the jackpot, and it'd be awesome if you did, but most likely you're just going to spend a bunch of time pushing buttons and end up a little worse off than you were before. You can't live in the future. At some point you have to start doing something with what you have. There isn't going to be one magical draft that will fill every hole on the roster over night, especially if you keep creating more. It's loser hockey. It's perpetual rebuilding. Today it's AA, tomorrow it's Mantha/Bert, and before you know it it's the kid you're hoping to get with the pick from AA. I know you'll say "after next year" is when everything will come together, but I bet by this time next year you'll be salivating over who we might get in the 2021 draft. Yes, Colorado was very lucky both to get a monster return for Duchene, and have the 1st rounder end up being 4th...and even with that much luck they still need Byram to actually deliver on his potential. Then even if he does, and they can call that trade a win, it just puts them in the position of having a pretty stacked defense and no forward depth. In the end, even getting massively lucky, they didn't do much more than trade one hole for another.

His depth/60 is outrageously good

he'll fit in perfectly!

Don’t we already have one of those in Nielsen?

A little housekeeping today: ESPN makes it official, Corey Perry (Whom Pavel Datsyuk beat up) to Dallas https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/27096506/stars-agree-ex-ducks-star-perry

Next stop WWE...

they won't be moved at the deadline. we'll have the crappiest D in the NHL again, nobody will want them. but hey, we're getting an AHL goalie. That'll make us more competitive. keeping the D we had last year gives zero room for young players or heaven forbid a UFA who's better than our D. Dekeyser - Green Ericsson - Daley Kronwall - Who cares. Toledo has a better D than that. ugh.... couple that with the worst starting goalie in hockey, we're in for a fun season to watch, only to get f***ed out of a lottery win again.

So we currently have Nielsen, Filppula and Weiss on the books...

11.65 per

Trust the gortons fishermen

Just waiting on the numbers for Nemeth numbers. No matter what it will be a popular signing in the suburbs. Everyone loves Meth out there....

Meh him and his sister went to high school 5 minutes from where I grew up in Mich. Bet he eats coneys. Perry to Dallas with Pavelski Pickard to Wings (more likely GR) Connolly to Florida Panarin to Isles or CBJ Zuccarello to Minny

Man the meeting periods before UFA day takes the whole fun out of UFA day!

so, buyout period is over and we still have Ericsson and Daley.

Could also be a move for when we, maybe, trade Howard at the deadline. In any case, it doesn't hurt. Pickard has good AHL numbers, won a Calder Cup.
