Damnit...I didn't get the memo...And just last week I was all prepared to move out there with 'mah ladies' in order to take advantage of the benefits...

Except Shanny actually dropped the gloves instead of just being a little punk agitator.

Tkachuk put up 109 points this season. Last season, he put up 104 points. He's indisputably one of the best players in the league. But the point is merely that Tkachuk's a premier power forward with bite to his game and so was Shanahan, and both the Wings and these Panthers felt they needed that kind of player.

I still blame AZ. Bastards took Hayton and tempted Holland with that low hanging fruit. You got the second part right.

I don't think I care who would take in this draft. I just hope 9th overall becomes a top three player in this draft and 17th overall becomes a top 10 player, assuming of course that we make both picks.

At 1st I sorta 'lol' at your comparison, but then realized you're actually spot on (considering what Bowman - not Holland - sent in return for Shanny and how he elevated this franchise to the next level - like Tkachuk is doing with FLA).

the Nomads. or CRL's favorite: The Wandering Jews Do not recommend. Went in 02. Would not go now. Woke politicians have that city screwed up. Would not take my kid there. Not safe.

Technically, he did say he would fill the nets with pucks. He just didn't specify that you could count the number of times on 2 hands.

none of these players were available to us, so I don´t really get what you mean. I don´t care that it is rigged, it´s obvious anyway. Money rules sport, so they do everything possible to "grow the sport" which basically means that they want more milk from the cow

Why do that when you can see a game at Climate Pledge Arena? I'll take care of the herb crusted salmon and seltzers

Phase 1: Draft Phase 2: Creative building (you are here) Phase 3: Supplimentary building Phase 4: Cup runs Well we didnt win (again) the lottery. And I think thats the last time you will see us in any real position to win the lottery again for a while. It is what it is. The drafting phase of the yzerplan, IMO, is therefore ending at this draft. After this we will back to the 12-20 range. Even with no lottery wins we did pretty good. 2 blue chip Dmen. 2 blue chip forwards. 1 blue chip goalie. Another 1 or 2 blue chips this year. And we have an imploding bostons 1st rounder next year. Plus a myriad of other B grade players. But this should now start the shift towards what I call "the creative building stage". We may still sell at the TDL, but this is no longer a lottery team at this point. We have 2 more major foundational pieces joining the roster in Ed and Kasper this season. And impending major extensions to Ras, Ray, and Seider looming. SY will no longer be uber cap rich very soon and we wont be able to go on massive spending sprees like last year. So I think we are entering the creative building stage. Trades, offersheets, you name it. Time to trade a Drouin for a Sergachev. What can we pick off Bostons corpse? Torontos? Winnipegs? Islanders? Can we trade Zadina for a bottom 6er we actually like? Can we package some prospects for a top player in their early 20s? Once we can age up and wheel or deal our way out of mediocrity, then we enter the next phase of the yzerplan.
