LOL. Oh boy. Okay.
Kid doesn't even have 5 goals in the NHL yet and it's already an insult to compare him to Franzen.

Tyler Johnsons two goals in game 4 came after Glendenning left the game. We had a lead in the third period. We would have been up 3-1 in the series. After that the wings had no answer for him. Sorry, but I will draw the comparison. I know other already have.

Bob Mckenzie's reporting that it was basically a toss up between Vegas and Syria.

Helm currently makes. 2.125 on a deal he signed 4 years ago as a RFA. You really think he's only going to get a 375 000 dollar raise, with 4 years of rising nhl salaries, and given that he's poised to be an UFA? It's a UFA contract and he's not Drew Miller, he'll definitely get at least 3 mill.

I now see why ppl hate on Abby so much. Dope takes a penalty 100 ft from his own net.

I think it would be close.Now that Larkin holds the record though, I could see them racing in practice at some point. (Hopefully they do, and hopefully they record it and put it on a new episode of wingspan, or show it during pre-game)

No kidding,hey? If Montreal only threw in a couple of guys who are still looking for their first career goal

Hah not sure if you're being sarcastic.
Having Byfgulien would be a huge upgrade but that's not practical at the moment. The only options we have is whether our best center can be the difference maker for offense and to help shutdown opposing team playmakers.
Our D sucks but it would be nice if the offense can kick it up and shoot more and hence score more. This isn't Team Zetterberg and Larkin idk when the hell Tatar, Richards and crew are going to wake up. But maybe Dats can get Tats going if and when he's back.

The Tats - Dats - Helm line was our best one last year. Need that back and we can run the Abby - Z - Larkin line and have a one-two punch and generate more shots on goal.
Who the f*** knows.

If it was me I would've shown up at the Red Wings training camp because f*** the Islanders.

that's an odd question.
If he scored if every other game he would be a 40 goal scorer, and making 7 million dollars. Of course he'd be on the first line.
last time we had a guy even close to that good, we signed Franzen instead.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I can not believe I didn't see Nyquist on the power play in OT.

If there's four more expansion teams I might be able to make the NHL.
Vegas is pretty close to California. ( a hockey hot-bed) Is there a chance Vegas gets some spill over fans from Cali? ( Much like Buffalo does from Toronto.)

I'm working through the night and I got bored.
This was the result.

Well we won't have anymore groin injuries now that we have a "LegWand"

The return should be similar to the Jaromir Jagr to Boston trade.
Dallas got a 2nd rounder and two prospects.
Boston got a 41 year old with 26 points in 34 games.
For the record, I don think it will happen. It could, though, if Alfie asks for it.

Franzen's the only one too lazy not to put on a tie, do up his collar.

The East should be crapping their pants. We were one goal away from the eliminating the Stanley cup champs.
Now we're adding Alfie, Weiss, Helm, Dekeyser, Bertuzzi, Samuelsson and a more seasoned Nyquist, Tatar,Anderson and Smith.
older? yes. but the lack of travel will take a few years off of the Vets and they will all look rejuvenated because of it.
This will be the year we turn our power play around; it will be our enforcer again. (it won't be as great as 2008, but it'll be a heck of lot better than the last few years)
BOLD PREDICTION: within a few years the East teams will start adapting to us, and people will be wondering why the whole league is now playing a "west conference" style game.

And here is where a lot of Franzen is like Player X comparisons fail, when Z is not scoring, or as you say taking "days off", he is still one of the best defensive forwards in the game.
Franzen when not scoring is one of the biggest wastes of space on the ice.
All you really need to see is him with the puck between the red line and the offensive blue line, if he flips it in the zone and barely skates after it, you are not getting much from him that game.
If he protects the puck and gains the zone, or dumps and chases it, you know he is in the game mentally.
However, when he is not "in it to win it" he is better served in the press box.
I also do not understand the posts about him having size and play maker ability.
When he loafs, he does not create plays, and he almost never uses his size, so how skills he doesn't really use make up for him taking shifts and games off is really confusing to me.
As I have said numerous times on this forum, you take Franzen and give him Tootoo, Abby, Cleary, or Helm's heart and desire and you have an all world talent.
As it is right now, you have a very talented player who often times has little effort and desire.
I can excuse a lack of talent, like Helm's hands of stone, he just doesn't have hands of a Franzen or Bertuzzi even, but I have a very hard time excusing lack of effort!

Then he needs to watch some game tape.
