forgot the "r"

Okay, let's try this again since you're a little slow today. You're the new Minnesota unless you have what?

Agreed, writing up articles about 1st round draft picks is boring, unless you're going to make a claim as to why Edvinsson will surpass Victor Hedman or something outlandish like that. "Kasper looks NHL ready for 2025.". Yah, no sh e t, Sherlock. I agree with you Kip. I'd rather a guy like Wheeler do ONE home run or bust prospect report per team per year and read 32 articles on players that could pull a Kucherov or Datsyuk than read about the "progression" of a Wallstedt or Cossa. Those guys are already supposed to progress. Tell us about somebody that could come out of nowhere and why.

Pretty good deal for the Leafs IMO. They just got one of the better defensive Dmen in the league, IMO, exactly what they needed, at below league min.

I'll say this about Scott Wheeler's attempt, and it might address your comment here. I don't think he really knows what he wants to do with his "prospect pool" articles. Is the idea to tell fans how players are progressing? Is it to introduce them to new prospects? Is it to tell them about players in leagues that might not have access to? I watch A LOT of hockey. But even then, I'm limited to the NHL and AHL. The rest I have to follow online through box scores and articles. So there's a niche for Wheeler, but he doesn't take it. Instead of telling me the same things about Cossa you said when he was drafted, tell me about Andrew Gibson, Dmitry Buchelnikov, Emmitt Finnie. Sure those guys aren't Edvinsson, ASP, and Kasper but most fans are already pretty familiar with the top prospects (if only because they get the most press on draft day and right after). The feather in Wheeler's cap seems to be that he talks about a million prospects but that doesn't really mean much if you're not saying anything important about them to the fans. If I were Wheeler I wouldn't bother "ranking" anyone. And I wouldn't bother with the top 15 prospects on each team. I'd do a series of articles on the 5-7 most intriguing prospects on each team. Tell me why Tre Augustine dominates despite not have a pro sized frame for a goalie. Tell me why Emmitt Finnie isn't getting the same "best player on a terrible team" excuses that Nate Danielson got. Tell me whether Buchelnikov's KHL impact has a good chance of translating to North America. Tell me why everyone who sees him gushes over Albert Johansson but his counting stats look pedestrian. That stuff is interesting.

Its so over

E before I my friend

That's their super power. Give the islanders one ounce of attention and they rise to dynasty. That's why we've all completely ignored them since the 80s. I don't even know who most of their players are.

Sorry guys, I didn't realize that making fun of the Islanders for looking like the cast of "12 Angry Men" is the equivalent of giving them the Infinity Gauntlet. Gostisbehere really trying to turn up the dial on that next contract eh?

Maatta heating up Trade him for Crosby ASAP

Yall ready for some Islanders hockeeeeey?!?!!?! WOOOOOO!!!!! Yall ready for some razzle dazzle?!?!?!?! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Ain't no razzle dazzle like some Anders Lee razzle dazzle!!! WOOOOO!!!! Now give it up for the heart and soul of this great team, All-Star captain and Islanders legend BROCK NELSON!!! AHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

My god. What a slog this is.

*Applause dies as Dumbledore beings to speak* "To house Avalanche, your bravery and determination, throughout the 90s and early 00s, despite the Red Wings superior dynasty, is both an act of true courage and true willpower. I award you 50 pts for each Stanley cup you've won....150 POINTS!" *WOOS AND CHEERS* "To house Red Wing, young master Yzerman's brilliance during the rescue of house Bolt was both daring and noble... But perhaps nothing touches our hearts more than his compassion to retrun to his muggle home of Detroit to do the same. I award you 50 pts for each time Stephen Yzerman has touched the cup....150 POINTS!" *WOOS AND CHEERS* "And lastly, to the wealthy and distinguished house of Leaf, your majesty knows no bounds. Your legends echo through these halls. And now your window is open again, and you have one of the most talented and dominant teams in the entire league. It is for these accomplishments that I will award you the generous gift of ONE HUNDRED points for each time you have beaten House Coyote on home ice since 2005..." *WOOS AND CHEERS" "ZERO POINTS!"
