Yup watching it cause I bet on Sweden lol ... Man every time Czech scores sweden scores right away

Actually I said it from day 1 we got him that I hated the signing and he was overrated (and I got a lot of s*** for it by some) and... Injury or not I knew he wouldn't work here In Florida he got a lot of ice time cause florida panthers as a franchise was a joke so he'd obviously get a lot of ice time and ppl minutes .... A lot of players playing for lesser teams just cause they rack up some pts doesn't mean they'll do better In other places That being said I can admit when I'm wrong ... After last year I said I didn't believe in glendening because in our glory days the grind line always came up huge and scored big goals and got around 10 per yr ... And luke went on a stretch of like 70 games with nothing I'm glad to say he proved me wrong and will be a big pieces to our future

Rather do a trade if possibleWard williams upfront could be nice additions Back end I think a trade would be in our best interest considering the defensemen available are mostly 3rd pairing guys which I'm sure could help but we need a top 4 I think you should stop coming up with excuses for weiss ... Let it goHe's a bust Had like one 60 pt yr ... He was never gonna be a 60-70pt 2nd line guy here ... Took a chance and didn't work

Gorges? Wouldn't want him ... Buffalo doesnt have much to give us and whatever we'd want they wouldnt part with since they are rebuilding I would add San Jose to the mix , they just have alex stalock right now and possibly the jets since pavelec is a wild card Now that I think of it howard with the jets d and the way the team performed this year ... They'd get in the playoffs again

I said a dozen times ... Sign a veteran backup capable of playing 25-35 games Do I expect mrazek to go perfect during the season? Nope but the only way he's gonna perfect his game is playing loads of games Howard is the best asset we have to trade that we could afford to trade and our team wouldn't be crippled and we'd boost our team In other areas I could see it now ... We do nothing and flash forward 2-4yrs from now a lot of people bitching that we wasted hank and pavs last few years Already wasted the last 5 years ... Time to do something ... That being said I expect us to have both and when howard finally gets dealt we will end up with a nice 3rd round pick Package deal ... Package deal

Didn't check the nhl cap numbers but this came to mind Trade howard nyquist kindl for vlasic and wingels Trade weiss smith jurco hicketts 2017 2nd rounder for Phaneuf -2mill and van riems dyk Lineup Van riemsdyk Datsyuk Tatar Abdelkader Zetterberg wingels Helm sheahan pulkkinen Miller glendening Ferraro Andersson/Callahan Kronwall vlasic Dekeyser Phaneuf Ericsson Quincey Marchenko Mrazek Enroth(ufa)

Nothing surprising Wings are good organization but have no balls

And that's why Joel ward should be our number 1 target kids Mr playoff clutch

From what I remember Mike green. Cody franson. Barret jackman. Paul martin Justin williams. Joel ward. If use trade howard ... Jonas Enroth and niemi My fav if we don't make a trade is joel ward .... Big body and can play and hits ... Exact type of playoff guy we'd need Agree green won't be worth the price tag and franson was barely used in Nashville ... OverratedI'd consider a martin or jackman on a 1yr deal but the thig with these ufa's are they get longer deals usually so I'd rather just trade for one and give marchenko/ouellet some games Can't keep ignoring the kids ... How else will they ever get experience?

Ya I know and maybe not having Phaneuf longterm would be for the better but gotta think if we had him in game 4 he could of helped prevent one of late goals some how? Who knows .... I'm just pissed off we lost cause I don't think tampa bay were anywhere near the better team .... We should send some guys to montreal and go around tyler johnson in an alley and then have luke glendening pop up from the shadows hahaha Then right after johnson s***s himself glendening does damage to his hand cause we all know that's when those assholes won the series

Can't help but wonder now if we had traded for Phaneuf for weiss/smith type deal that was reported that we'd be in the 2nd round today

Ya let's trade away larkin mantha athanasiou holmstrom bertuzzi for guys who will be ufa's in 3 years and then complain were the new leafs

It's funny cause I been pushing for this to happen for quite a while and all of a sudden the kid shows he can play and now we got split fans lol Anyways Hollands to safe so I do expect us to have both and have a nice 3rd round pick at the deadline so his contract could be taken off our hands instead lmao

Just don't think howard has any interest in tutoring a young goalie ... I just think mrazek is so confident I his abilities I don't even think he needs that much tutoring from a backup Fact is I do expect them both to be here I just wish we had a bit of balls and would trade the biggest asset we have that we can afford to trade and s to make our team overall even that much better We lost out on 5-6 years of hank and pav and it's coming to a close and we gotta go for another 2-3 good runs at the cup while we have them before the next crap of potential stars come in (larkin,mantha,athanasiou,holmstrom) Gotta add 2-3 significant pieces

Checking ufa list Ones that interest me Defense Mike green Franson Petry ehroff Barret jackman Upfront Joel ward Justin williams Carl soderberg Goalies if we trade howard Enroth Niemi Harding (if he keeps playing) Guys I'd target via trade Phaneuf and van riemsdyk in a package deal if possible And vlasic off San Jose (although I don't see it happening) ... Same with wayne simmonds

Think we can both agree the blues goaltending has let them down year after year ... They get a top goalie they can compete for a cup Sharks have been a letdown yearly but so were the wings at one point and sharks have a good core of couture pavelski burns vlasic + thornton marleau + good role guys like wingels ... They get a good goalie they can compete .. They should get a good coach there Flyers is the least likely to win but they also haven't had a good goalie since Lindbergh died and they got giroux and voracek and good pieces At the end of the day one team wins a cup every year and we all know how hard it is to do it , but all 3 have a good chance to get in the playoffs and go for it

Man checking around teams and ufa for possible targets Joel ward is a ufa he'd be a good fit here ... Big body and can play hockey, hits ... Playoff guy ... Id take him

We know one thing ... Howard struggles in the playoffs ... Sorry but that's the case and mrazek is 23 and howard is 30 I'm more for trading howard so mrazek plays as many games as he can , howard won't be a happy boy playing 30-40 games and if that happens his value dimishes and we get a pick Right now we can say before the injury he was an all star and get a roster player or 2 that can actually further improve our team right now A contending team like a saint louis/San Jose/Philadelphia would be intrigued

Umm not high on stafford ... No problem with o reilly the player but his 6 million salary is ridiculous Phaneuf will not get traded to any team unless leafs eat at least in the ballpark of 2 mill per Soderberg's game has dropped though ... I remember McGuire on the radio saying he couldn't believe how he thought hed take his game to the next level to helped bruins overcome losing iginla and he just hasn't. Produced I wishIt'll take a lot more than kindl to land simmonds On a sidenote .. If we trade weiss the only option I can see in return for getting rid of him is Phaneuf

Good plan a and b is having a capable veteran backup who can play 25-35 games if need be To be honest I can't believe you actually have doubt mrazek is the real deal He's 23 so yes I'd expect some growing pains but him playing as many games as possible is what will help his further development As for goalie values ... Howard was an all star before his injury so I'm sure we can get something ... We keep playing mrazek his value will be worth nothing and well get a draft pick just to get rid of him Howard has to go

It's a flag , not like it's a building she tried to burn ... doubt anything serious will come out of this for her

Cap numbers like 6 though no? ... Isn't he like 36? ... Rather get someone you get who's 6'4 and fast and hits .. Wouldn't be pissed at big joe coming but think we need more help at d and don't wanna give up good prospects for joe and I'd rather trade howard for a d

San Jose won't want anything to do with weiss ... It'll be a nice dream to land vlasic but I can't see them trading him as well as much as I'd want him to be a wing As for joe thornton forget it we need younger bigger bodies and he's older and has a high cap number 2 no no's ... Hank and pav are 34-36 ... That's good enough upfront for aging forwards Also got mule but who knows how that'll turn out

There should be some d available through trade ... Got a feeling Phaneuf will be a wing when it's all said and done

f*** the Habs .... Lighting can Win and the. Get slaughtered by the winner of nyr/Wsh series and the winner of that series wins the cup
