I just can't see Buffalo taking Compher's salary without sending a protected 1st and Ras minimum.

Who is the better mentor for Cossa and does he really need one? Who gets you more in a trade?

Hey thanks. I'm glad one of us, meaning you, found this and posted it. I was pretty peedoff watching this as it happened.

I'm a gard, so I don't have the video. Looked to me that Ed got nailed with a pretty good elbow to his face. Guessing his jaw is either broken or pretty sore at this point. I figure he'll be wearing an 'I'm a brave boy now' cage when he comes back. This looked so blatant I thought of Benn nailing Larkin in the back a few years ago.

SY didn't have much choice really. Team outperformed their reality and it cost us. SY at the TDL was like the Wings losing another draft lottery. He needed to unload contracts for picks and couldn't do that because ownership/fanbase wanted to make the playoffs and almost did. Pick a path? SY and team great at making the most of high picks. SY bad at FA that he can't unload at TDL. I think you are bang on with Talbot showing Cossa the ropes next year even though he might be the biggest trade chip this year. Another dilemma.

Good win vs the Loafs saturday night. Did Kane suddenly turn the light on? He sure looked like he was auditioning on HNIC and pumping up his trade value.

I do. He looked shaky to start as expected and showed some skill the rest of the way. Giving up 2 goals is fine in 45 minutes in your first game, but the part I like is his attitude. He said something like; 'I love this being on me' before the start of OT.

I thought Motte looked pretty crappy vs Buffalo. Kane is still invisible, and the list goes on. I can't wait for the TDL hoping we are well out of contention so we can toss out the trash unlike last year when a selloff was the right move but pr-wise not a good move considering how close we were. I'd prefer we suddenly get our crap together, make the playoffs and make watching a game actually fun. Who will be ready to come up from GR?

Good for Cossa. Glad he finally got some action and he looked okay. He seemed pretty nervous at first and settled in just just fine, although he got pretty lucky in the shootout with his best friend mr. post. Was it just me or did Mo look like he was having fun scoring and killing people? FreeMo

Lions: made a giant stride with the bounty they got from trading Stafford. Wings: fell off the cliff drafting Z instead of Quinn Hughes. And yes, the coaching is also a huge difference.

Love Parliment

Shush... quiet down now. Pretty sure SY would rather extend him now rather then when you are proven correct. And yep, you are correct enough.

Glad to see the 'crap posts' gone so quickly these days. Who do I thank?

Cossa up and hopefully he gets a start. Good or bad result, just practicing with the team, big league travel and reporters asking him the same questions over and over should make our boy hungry to get back to the D once he inevitably gets returned to GR. As far as the loss to the Nucks, I thought both teams looked clunky (soft ice?) and slow. Kasper was a solid 200' stud and BearGrin looked really showed his playmaking skill and scoring prowess even if his defensive game still lacks. Thoughts?

I fell drunk just reading that....HAHAHAHAHAHA

Watched game one of the CHL -USA Prospects Challenge. (Canada won 6-1) The skill level was really good considering most will be first round picks in the 2025 draft, adding in a small number of Euros. IF you can, stream the TSN feed, game 2 starts tonight at 6:30. Looking at Tankathons top 10 board I think anyone in the top 3 is fantastic, Martone, Hagens & Schaefer. 4-10 really good, 11-17 pretty decent. 18-24 probably better than most years in this range.

Like someone we know

what's too much?

Does anyone want Jiricek from Columbus and what would the cost be? Why can't he crack their lineup?

Yep it's an exciting situation all-round. Another solid kid in next years draft can only help. Mgmt said they thought we overachieved last season, so regression was expected. If our goalies sucked, we would be in line for a top 5-6 pick.

I think Kane would net you a 2nd rounder to a cup contender that wants their PP to be lethal... if he waives his NTC. Tarasenko is tougher because he has a 2nd year attatched to him. Talbot is worth a 1st if we're patient enough and injuries hamper a contender.

Take it easy West Coast. I don't want you to confuse our drafting with our FA signings and coaching choices. SY- good drafting and SY- crappy FA signings for the most part. GR has a good developmental coach that evaluates the kids there pretty honestly. The waves of kids coming will take the spots of everyone you're crapping on. Patience grasshopper. We need to jetison some folks at the TDL if possible, including Kane (ntc) and anyone that sucks on the defence and probably Talbot as well.

Hey. If in two years he's part of the ASP, Danielson, Lombardi and MBN wave I'll be happy.

Hey, Stevie Y traded AA for Sam Gagner and two 2nd rounders. Yzerprerplanning?
