You're right

Go to more college games dude. Theyre wayyyy more fun than the NHL and u dairy f***ers have some decent teams.

What if Brian shares his bath salts? Yes, i want to see that line reunited. Helm also played well with all three of those guys. He can rotate in.

It's probably pretty smooth if you spit on it first and can handle the size.

Would you rather fight an angry, high on bath salts, Brian McGrattan, or shove Pierre McGuire's entire bald head up your ass?

Now were getting to the tough questions Would you rather have... Saad or Panarin? Sedin or Sedin? Matt Cooke or Sean Avery? Hossa or Franzen? Dan Cleary or an $8.95 waste basket from Walmart? Chicken tenders or chicken nuggets? Roy as a coach or Gretzky as a coach? Nyquist or Tatar? Datsyuk or Zetterberg? Kory Kocur or a 17th overall pick? Go to an away game in Leafs land or Habs land? Be best friends with Wayne Gretzky or date Paulina Gretzky? Have bamboo shoved up your urethra everyday for 9 years or be an Avs fan?

It's tempting, but Parise really isn't the same player he used to be these days

Despite losing Tavares, Lamoriello is continuing to turn the Isles around. Sounds like Mitch Korn - arguably the best goalie coach in the league (Responsible for Hasek, Fuhr, Rinne, Vokoun, and Holtby among others) - is going to follow Barry Trotz to the Island. And they also just signed Jan Kovar out of the KHL. He's been one of the best forwards in the KHL for a while now.

crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap you people are insatiable, I'll do what I can Holland's actual reaction when they realized Zadina was available at 6: And this explains it:

Rumor was Dallas fell off as a front runner because Nill refused to include Heiskanen in the deal. There was also speculation that the entire "Karlsson to Tampa deal is all but done" narrative was phony bologna made up by Pierre Dorion and co in order to bring Dallas back to the table with more. All wild speculation and rumor of course, but maybe Heiskanen is involved now? Who knows...

Good Read By Khan On Projected Lineups Khan's lineup to start the season: Mantha - Larkin - Zadina Athanasiou - Nielsen - Rasmussen Nyquist - Helm - Vanek Bertuzzi - Glendening - Abdelkader Extras: Frk, Witkowski Explanation: On the defense: On trading for a Dman: More on Athanasiou:

Vanek and Green don't make much sense. I don't know why they wanna play here. Maybe Green likes being the #1 guy? Maybe Vanek likes the way Blashill deployed him as an offensive specialist? I REFUSE to understand

I don't think a player picked at #31 overall will rise that quickly

I thought I read somewhere that the reason for the NTC was he simply didn't want to up and move again in the middle of the season. Has had to do that the last two seasons, on top of starting each year on a new team. Can't remember where I would've read that though.

Doin' a lazy Much suck

I like guys that want to be here "I had a few options, but I love Detroit, easy"

All I meant is he's looking like he will be the divisive player on the team this year...

What if you're color deaf

This is so ridiculous lol ill be cheering for AA after every glorious breakaway, sorry. Relax. Bups claimed I was strawmanning, you admitted to misrepresenting your own argument moments later. I was pointing that out. Ill go enjoy my fun park now I love AA. Its a shame the overvaluing by certain individuals is leading said certain individuals to think i and others dislike him. Would love to see him contribute more on the defensive side of the puck, work better in our O zone system, and grow as a player next year. Hes not there yet thou.

AA has officially reached Mrazek status lol the stage is set I look forward to this coming season bois

Exhibit A of my AA theory AA is the most fun player to watch, which is making him overrated as all heck. Zetterberg is boring as heck to watch. But the man plays winning hockey. Exciting does not equal good. Larkin, now thats a player who is exciting and good. I hope AA does really well and becomes the 50 pt player we all hope he can be. But he clearly has a lot to work on. Hes way behind Mantha and Larkin. And I think Bertuzzi is about leap frog him. Hes certanily not the 4th best player on this team in my book. The score sheet reflects that and the salary chart reflects that, even considering overpayments.

Bernier didnt know who Mandela was in an interview (mandela had just passed) and gambled that he was an athlete. He obvi lost that gamble and embarrassment ensued. Anyway, IMO on Bernier, dont listen to leafs fans. They were hot to trot that he was the next big starter and ended up sour. Hes a high end back up which is why he got paid more than the other backups. His save percentage has been clutch throughout his career. Hell be the transition goalie from Howard to someone new.

Pretty much what Neo said. I love Kronwall. Great leader whose given, and continues to give, his body n soul to this team. Very much want him around as long as he can still contribute. Id consider re-signing him again after this contract. Green is an entirely seperate issue in my book. I dont think im overvaluing Green. I thought I was being pretty modest calling him a placeholder. Certainly didnt call him a god or anything close to it. Just so were clear, IMO, Green is not a #1 NHL dman. He's a high end 2nd pairing playing the #1. And I think our D has a big drop off after that. Daley was a great signing, but in my book hes a low end 2nd pairing. After that I think were looking at all bottom pairing guys. Including Dekeyser and Kronwall. Thats why I want Green on this team. I dont doubt that Kronwall sets a great example for prospects, but I want a player that can literaly lead the D on the ice and eat the hard minutes, for the good of every players confidence. Kronwall can have the lockerroom. Green is plugging a hole. I think its a HUGE hole, and thats why i think its worth plugging.

Dude, hes the 4th best player on the team

Lol sure
