Ahhh, did not know their cap situation. Ya, don't see them wanting either of our guys. But it still doesn't change the fact that come next season we cannot have both Howard and Mrazek. That cap space is crucial! He's paying us to play? Well Hell, I love that guy! Just kidding, I know you meant $.5M less...

Plus you have to figure (hope actually) that whether or not Holland is GM next season, he has to already be looing at ways to shed some more salary for next season. If Larkin and Mantha keep up their 70 point pace and finish leading the team in scoring, it's gonna cost them a bit more that AA to re-sign those two. We may be talking bridge deals that pay no less than $4M each. Especially if they hit 70 points...it could be even higher. Holland needs to shed salary and dealing away one of the goalies, Tatar or Nyquist, and possibly Helm,he needs to. The GM next season will need all the cap he can get! BTW, I want to say again that Tatar's NTC doesn't kick in until next season, so he is very tradable right now.

Well you have to figure that one of Howard/Mrazek will not be here next season. You also have to figure the Henrik will be the #1 as long as he wants to. So, if you're the Rangers, do you prefer Mrazek who will want to be #1 or would you prefer Howard (home state kid) that wouldn't cost you as much as Mrazek would to re-sign and probably be very happy playing there sharing the net. Not that Howard wouldn't want to be #1 somewhere, but it is his home state and he may just be easier to trade there. Also, his stock is probably as high as its going to be this season, so he may garner a better draft pick in return.

I too would welcome a trade to Anaheim. I am convinced Holland will never trade Nyquist, but maybe he'd be willing to trade Tatar. He's a little bigger, and usually is more of a scorer than Nyquist. Either one though would work for me. I think Anaheim may be interested more in Tatar because he is already signed. If they traded for Nyquist, they may have to pay him MORE than Tatar if they want to re-sign him. I really wish Holland would realize that its time to deal in the best interest of the future. He has to know his D is horrible right now, and while Mondour and Bieska woudln't turn us into instant contenders, Bieska more than likely would not be re-signed, but having Mondour in the system, along with Cholowski and Hicketts, et al. would be wonderful for our future. Tank all you want, the odds of 1st overall are still pretty stacked against you. But even if they did get it, having Dahlin in that mix is only brighter! Kronwall can retire after the season, Green could be traded at the deadline, E could be our #7 since nobody would want him and his contract. XO would be dealt and Witko could not be re-signed or act as the 14th forward again. If Holland made that trade, next season's D corps could possibly look like this: Dahlin, Montour, Daley, DD, Jensen, Hicketts then E as #7.

I'll admit, outside of my kids watching it, I have no clue about it! BUT I'm down for a great theme for Avatar's! Plus I was getting bored of Yogi Guru! Although the bear theme was pretty funny too!

Hope you guys don't mind, I joined in the spirit of Dragon Ball Z with you!

Both he and Larkin are on pace for 70+ points! Oh my aching salary cap!

Uh, fat fingers. Plus I asked in the next post to have the title changed. Besides don't you like the sound of Amatrur?

Yes, that is the play where I commented Andreas Dastyuk!

It does look funny, but I like the idea. Doesn't look as bad as Howard's TomJones picture.

Bout time you do something to earn your money.

It's a painting of the back of a head with an old timer mask painted on the front. I think it's pretty cool. Abby the sniper

Jesus H, why the f*** is Abby on Larkins line!?!?

Maybe Blashill should put AA with Glen and Wilson. That'll get some momentum going.

.....and Jimmys back breaker.

Wait.....9 is a chick?

There cannot be goalie interference when your own player shoots it in your net.

Another great play by 52 Oh look.another sloth play by 52

Dump it in deep.

So what exactly is AA supposed to do with Wilson and Glen as linemates?

Andreas Datsyuk

Terrible Ericsson turnover Ugh, both meatballs out there and give up a breakaway.

great effort by Larkin just for Ericsson to f*** it up. Thank you Jimmy.

Abby the sniper. He sure brings AA down....

He just was busting on me because I was convinced Tippett would be tearing it up now. Sure, he could still be good, but the joke is on me.... I'll humbly accept it.
