    Getting rid of Howard would be a lot like Chicago ridding themselves of Bickell. Holland would have to give up a player of value. Howard is a guy why will be lucky to be a career backup once his current deal expires (assuming his next 3 years are anything like his last 2). If we're lucky, he can be offloaded to a team for cheap during the season when a team has injury problems at the position.

    Lindros, Makarov, Vachon, Quinn going to the Hall

    Don't lecture people on hockey when you don't even know who Pat Quinn is.

    Nice to see Lindros get the nod. He deserves to be there. But overall, holy hell what a weak class compared to the last few.

    He isn't worth anything. His contract basically gives him little value. Getting rid of the contract itself would be a huge deal for this team. I'd be ecstatic to see us getting a 5th rounder for him in all honesty.

    The Holiday tradition: 2016 Draft thoughts.....

    The team has also had a lot of bad luck drafting goalies outside of Mrazek. Maybe their plan is to double up on goalies to ensure we always have someone with promise in the system. Other teams have great goalies seemingly grow on trees. We've managed to come up with one in a whole lot of years. I'm guessing they see it as an area they need to address.

    Did it ever occur to you that there is a reason about 10 other teams after the initial top picks passed on him as well?

    True. Bozak is a guy that instantly becomes expendable if they get Stammer.

    I'd imagine they start by trading Lupul and Bernier. But even then they'd have to shed more salary to re-sign their own RFAs. Weird seeing a rebuilding team so close to the cap. On the flip side, it has been 100% media and fan speculation that Toronto will go for Stamkos. Babs himself has said the time is not right to go shopping in free agency.

    Never, because his last game was as a Wing.

    I remember when one of the beat writers said on Twitter the planets would have to align for the Wings to sign Stamkos. The Yotes acquired the Rags first rounder (20th pick). Chychrun fell in the rankings at last minute and was available at 16. Suddenly the Yotes were begging Holland to take Pasha's contract. Many little things had to go right for these events to unfold. The planets are aligning.

    I need to bash Holland more often if this is how he makes me look 15 minutes later

    Great move. If we can manage Fabrro at 20th, we win. Fabrro >> Chychrun
