I didnt get it. Legit rumor or scénario?

Sure, but anyone else thinks Lids and Homer are gonna retire together? Just a guess as Lids could really miss Homer out there, and this one will 80% retire..

This x 1000! This was a cornerstone bad move that send us years back to get the cup again..

Give me one reason why, IF Stamkos will hit RFA agency, Holland should not (will not) offer thoses 4 crappy late 1st for Stamkos??? (Besides that Holland do very few moves..) Burn bridges with Steve? I don t buy that.. We have enough cap space (probably the contender with the most cap space and enough to pull it, particularly considering the 10% rule), and any 3rd-4d D-man overpaid that we could acquire won t make this team better than Stamkos will.. (+the future is with Stamkos) If a guy like Stamkos, generational talent a la Crosby, doesn t justify to throw an offer sheet to him, i m lost

Great reasonning, They will match, so just don t try. You re right, when you have an even slight chance to add Stamkos, don t try it.. It is definitively not worth to take the risk? Besides It s really stupid to say that.. If he hits RFA market, that means there is some problems that an offer sheet will just aggravate in terms of contract structure.(may be cash flow??)

Not valid answer, Max salary is at 12mil and a cap of 9 mil front loaded contract could do it..

Look like some of us are not alone to be pissed off with Holland inaction on Burns trade... http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/41032-Campbell-Brent-Burns-trade-moves-Sharks-closer-to-Stanley-Cup.html

C'mon be Stamkos a Wing!!!!

How is this comparaison with a kid who talks as we all know a lot about his religion and the situation of an homosexual valid? As i said a correct comparaison would be an heterosexual or homosexual who talks (tweets for example) about his preferences.. The big thing is obviously not that this kid is religious (probably as the big part of the athletes to a certain extent) but that he talks too much about it: no more private sphere, everything is a big show..

Your comparaison is not good. A good comparaison would be an homosexual athlete that tweets everytime about his sexual preferences.. Same with an heterosexual actually. I would personally not enjoy that one of the team member tweets that he loves to f##k girls.... Look what happened to Carter in Philly, part of it because he was known to go out and have fun with pornstars... It should be a clear distinction between private and public life, which i know does not exists anymore in the US. I think it's sad.

Sorry guys, the link was working 10 min ago.. Looks like the entire website went down. I can assume it will work again soon. Basically the article states that Backock said "he's pissed off", and Burns is like a "gold medal pick or a homerun"...

Holland trade down all the secound round picks for 15 7th round pick!!! Yeah the draft is like a lottery, more chance to win

I don t like Burke, but I have to say i like what he has done so far in this draft

I don t know, Ferraro and Sheahan (especially Ferraro) have bust written all over them.. Last 1 st picks have been disappointing, and last time we traded down (ferraro + Nestrasil) look like it didn t worked so well...

Early reaction for sure, but i'm disappointed

Yeah!! one of my dream actually!

Assuming a cap rise by 2 millions here is what we could see: Acquisition of Brad Richards which stated he wants to play on a team with strong ownership. This guy want success and seems not that greedy. I ll come for the same amount as Dats Raise for many players including Howard and Ericsson. Lidstrom is getting paid a little less.Miller is gone. Draper and Osgood retire. Larsson comes and Emmerton is traded. I Flip will definitively be a part of the team next year, as he s currently paying his dues.

Yesterday was a wonderful game! Let s keep it up guys! Fill 's line will be rolling tonight!

Good question. I assume mainly because of his size, the fact that he plays a more rounded game and because of his last name, but not really sure if it s deserved

wow JR is really huge! wouldn t surprise me this guy is on roids

Thanks, in switzerland it s the opposite so i was not sure anymore!

just a quick question: In the next round, does the higher seed always plays the lowest seed who is still qualified or does it follow a tree? Thanks a lot!

Yeah even without moving THomas i m not sure the bruins would do it. I actually do not think

What is the potential of this guy? His stats arent too flashy... Axelsson is a better player isn't it? Is there a chance he come back in GR next year? I pretty doubt it, but anyone is an insider?
