This begs the question... is he a top 4 puck moving defenseman like you swore up and down he was?

Na, hez literally always sucked. He played well with Lidstrom one time in 2000 whatever and fans stroked themselves for 5 years about it. Dude is garbage, and those who supported him are conveniently hiding now.

Yee

Please

Imagine if you stumbled on to this forum as a stranger right now. Buncha dudes with DBZ avatars talking NHL hockey. Far out i guess

OMG are we seriously gonna allow this? Everyone knows me and this guy don't get along, he's clearly doing this to trigger me, yet it's cool that he signs up at the last minute for the game RIGHT BEFORE MINE, doing a DBZ theme. So basically the board will go ape wild for his DBZ thread and then I will be forced to follow that with my MS Paint thread (which I have been planing for a while) and mine will get treated like s***. Free booster account status might change my mind.....

I mostly agree with Custance on his thoughts on Ericsson. Most DRW fans treat E like he's completely useless and should be bought out. Which is completely exaggerated. If we had a good top3 (like Lidstrom/Raflaski/PrimeKronwall good) and Ericsson was a fourth spot, he'd be ok, and would probably even look great in bottom pairing role on that team. But that is skill-wise, the bigger issue is his contract. Imagine if Ericsson was capped at $2million. At $2 million or less I'd be thrilled with the guy. And even at $3 million I could probably make an argument that he's worth that. But at $4.25 I won't. The real problem is we've failed to draft any top4 Dmen in almost 20 years. So for a team that relies more heavily on the draft than others, this naturally leads to worse Dmen being promoted through the system due to lack of competition. Remember, in a span of 2 seasons... Holland lost the top HALF of his defense, in Lidstrom, Rafalski, and Stuart, to forces outside of his control. Ericsson was still young, and there was no way they were going to let another Dman go. Ericsson is a defensive mind, with size. Something that almost no one else brings to the table on our team. At the time of his payday we were hemorrhaging good Dmen. He capitalized on the unique position he found himself in. Should he be bought out? No. That's reserved for players that are completely useless or overpaid by huge sums. He's still serviceable even if he's overpaid by a few million. So I believe Custance is on point.... Team in need of Dmen overpaid a Dman... supply n demand, this is what happens, now we have to deal with it. Sometimes it's better to get something for your $4.25 for the next 2years, than pay $1.5 for the next four and get nothing.

This isn't even funny, just pure immaturity. Yet here I am literally loling, lmao

Curly headed f*** needs to grow that salad back

I worked this out in my head a few years ago. I don't think there would be enough leftover to move the team. Still worth the purchase though. I would be the worst owner ever. I'd cut my whole operations staff day 1 and offer those jobs to anyone who wants one at LGW.

Don't make me get Charlie Murphy

Someone reported yesterday that CGY has gotten a lot of calls on Bennett, but that there's been no traction. CGY is gonna be patient with him.

First I voted for the team with Gojira on it

Your point is well taken. It could happen. I could also win the lottery tomorrow and buy the Arizona Coyotes. This is directed, not just at you, but the entire board. Just because something could happen, doesn't mean we need to have lengthy discussion about it. Sure we could buyout Ericsson, but we all know that there is 0% chance it will happen, so why bring it up all. the. damn. time.? It's annoying. Ericsson could also become a late bloomer at the age of 33 and suddenly become top pairing D-man. But the chances of that are so slim, we can all agree it's dumb to even bring it up. I mean I could parade around the board talking about trading for Ovechkin... technically it could happen right? Chaps, who posted "the rumor", already agreed with me that it's baseless and from a non reputable source. Yet, we are going back n forth on it still... this is why the board has rules for providing sources with claims. To prevent needless discussion over "fake news". I mean, what do you think the chances are Mrazek is dealt to the Rangers for Ondrej Pavelec? 1%? 2%? 10%? 50%?

When your $80,000 Dodge Ram goes into the shop for a week, do you turn around and spend $15,000 on a new Ford Focus to get to work that week? It's just so impractical on both Detroit and New Yorks end, there's about 0% chance of it happening. Let's get to the heart of the matter, you want to move a Detroit goalie to free up space for the summer. That's fine and good, but this particular way of doing it just isn't feasible.

Yeah, but then they're frked in June when Mraz will demand money again and they still have a $9 million dollar Henrik on the books. It would be a costly upgrade just to have a better back up. Not gonna happen. They signed Pavelec because they didn't have a an inexpensive piece to promote within the system. So they went with the most inexpensive guy they could find, hoping he would rebound. Trading for Mraz would be a complete 180 in strategy from the Rags. Have they really lost that much faith in Lundqvist after only a month? I highly doubt it.

You should probably lead with this next time, and not: It looks like you're trying to pass off baseless speculation as an actual reputable rumor

He's playing much better. Starts tonight against Flames.

Lol what buffoon is spreading this? Eklund? Rags already have 10 million tied up in goalies, and have like 2 million something in cap space. They're not adding anyone significant, let alone Mrazek.
