Kronwall - Ericsson Quincey - Green Smith - Dekeyser Kids

Ahhhhhh a good PEI boy. Been saying we need one of those for years.

And Lecavallier. Which is why I'm fine with standing pat this year.

Clearing out Weiss to go after Weiss, makes sense.

Glad to be rid of Weiss, maybe we should sign Semin? Is like: maybe if I get addicted to meth I can give up doing crack.

Anisimov is way overrated if you ask me

People disappointed with players they know nothing about lmao

This is by far the worst UFA class in a while. Everyone's going to get overpaid. This is a year that most teams should be conservative with signings, but someone will take a chance. I'll be fine if that isn't us. Imagine a Wings team loaded with cheap young talented players a few years down the road, but too hamstrung with Weiss and Green type contracts to make constructive additions and make a cup run.

AH you've successfully baited me. Darn. Here's where I say, what sport is that? Now it's your chance to make a fool of me.

Yes thanks. It helped me persuade me to agree with Krsmith.

Genius

Ah flawless logic. I concede. You have won this day. So we take a D in the first round. A goalie at some point, and it's a shake from there? Or mostly D?

Cause KHL contracts are always honored Krsmith's crystal ball says Mantha is still great and will bounce back. Everyone place your bets now. He sucks. He even made statements about a trade suggesting he would be fine playing for a different team because that means they wanted him more. I can only defend one Franzen at a time and Mantha is the odd one out. My Rick Nash comparison was a loose powerforward association, don't take it too literally. But yeah he was supposed to be our next 1st line powerforward. Overhyped or not he's already crapping the bed in that department. Case n point. I don't realistically see us taking Samsonov. We're probably gonna take Eriksson-Ek, a center, not a D (Ohhhhhhhh noooooo), but we'll probably still take a goalie somewhere. So basically we won't be taking a Dman in the first round.

Dude, a tie in modern sports? You wanna root for the only league that still has ties? I'm SURE that will grow the sport. Everyone goes home with hockey blue balls every night. Awesome.

A broken heart changes a man. I have emotions just like everybody else. Mantha's gone from "He's gonna make the team his first year as a pro and be our future top line winger" to "Well he can still probably contribute something I think" and you people are ok with that. It's pathetic and embarrassing. Doesn't use his size, doesn't back check, and only about half his scoring translated to the minors. But yeah, I'm sure he'll be the next Rick Nash. Samsonov is already better than fraking Tom Mccollum and Jared "I suck" Coreau

I don't think Karlsson is as bad as most contend, but I really can't believe Keith didn't get another. That guy was rel gud, and I hate the hawks as much as the next guy.

Mantha is lazy and not physical, and his "great goal scoring ability" barely carried over to the minors. God knows how awful he'll be in the NHL. Who else do we have at wing? Holmstrom? He's not even in the AHL yet. After Mantha, all players are suspect. If we take Samsonov with our first pick we can probably trade Howard for someone who can replace Franzen for us. Samsonov could probably be our #3 behind who ever is backup. However we'll probably take Eriksson-Ek with our first. EDIT: I don't know if you saw but we pretty much took all centers last year. Wingers couldn't hurt.

With Mantha not living up to his name, I wouldn't mind taking a few wingers. Also draft a goalie so we can trade Howard

Probably. Plus 1 more forward, a goalie, and 4 Dmen.

Burke actually did say "green peace folks" once. It was when he sent Franks favorite dumb meathead, Colton Orr, to the minors (cause he sucks) and all 29 other teams acknowledged His suckyness by not claiming him on waivers

So Hudler is now the classiest player in the league

Sign Meech NOW

Well Darren Helm just became a more valuable player. A lot points are gonna be decided in 3 v 3 and it's gonna be all speedsters.

That's fine, no Green peace flower power for u

I'm always excited for the home opener, but this is good. Let's set the tone of Babcocks next 10 years teach him what it feels like to be a leaf.
