    2014 draft thoughts.

    I like right where we are at. Smack dab in the center. This year, and possibly next season, is likely the last time we will pick this high. Last chance to boost the farm before the retool is complete.

    The Franzen Hate.

    Franzen is a top 6 forward. And it's not just Holland saying that, it's his scouts, coaches, and other hockey brains as well. Unless you think he irrationally ignores his advisors. You, Degrass, and Leftwinger, seem to be the only ones here that are so blindingly hateful of him that you support a buyout. Get real.

    Tucson Arizona deserves a team....

    WCF: (6) California Dreamin' v (5) The Night Chicago Died

    No matter what happens here I predict LA or CHI rocks them in the finals. That series is the real story IMO

    Wing-killer fersure. He and Kariya. So much respect yet so many nightmares.

    It was time. Finnish flash and giggy done the same year. Makes sense

    Puck Daddy: Trotz Head Coach for Caps

    Best thing that ever happened to the caps. Now maybe Ovi and Green can learn to play "NHL" hockey

    James Neal

    I think you're too excited about the possibility of Neal coming here. Again, he won't move. Let's rehash this in the offseason when moves actually happen.

    I don't understand why u guys entertain the idea that holland will trade up. It's not going to happen. Forget about it or go become an Isles fan.

    So who are the top RHed Dmen?

    Well I'm a state guy. Even so, I have a lot of family from Rochester, some of which went to school with him. They relayed to me that he is kind of a sad story. Mamas boy, not a lot of friends, kinda weird, not well liked by teammates. If someone knows better correct me, but from all I've heard he's an Emmerton with a Franzen body

    Blues re-sign Elliott, announce Miller won't be back

    The Wings should have no Millers

    James Neal

    They absolutely robbed him out of Dallas. He's also well liked in their locker room. He's also on a bargain contract. Again, no way he moves.

    James Neal

    Hate him but would love him. No way they shop him though. He's on an awesome contract.

    2014 Memorial Cup

    Yan Golubovsky had pretty high potential too. Then our 10th round pick from that year turned out to be way better and the best net front forward in the league. I think it's insulting to write off a player just bc u have some perceived idea that his potential is lower bc he's not Daigle hyped.

    Next Seasons Needs/Team Future

    When it comes to big names on the market we have... Nyquist Mantha Tatar Jurco Sheahan Backman Sproul Ouellet Mrazek Pulkkinen Marchenko Athanasiou Callahan Think we should pursue any of those guys? that's only like 13 players that could probably step in and half ass Niskanen or Alfredsson's job at a fraction of the price. Screw it sign Niskanen and Iginla and let those losers walk

    2014 Memorial Cup

    I remember a certain RichDG whining and moaning about our 2013 draft selections. I'm beyond giddy that about 5 of those 8 are already showing stellar promise. When is Axe coming back?

    Spezza?

    Nash has 15 pts in 31 playoff games (48.3%). Franzen has 81 pts in 107 playoff games (75.7%). Nash is totally worth another 2 million and the roster spot that takes up. FOOL.

    Shero & Bylsma Fired

    Only if he knows Franzen's going to have a down year

    Regner: Next year could be Babcock's last

    Franzens only lazy cause of Babcock. Buying out both of them is the best option. Blashil will solve all our problems. He won the Calder cup for Pete's sake
