    2019 Trade Deadline

    This was likely already mentioned, but early on in the coverage today. The Brian Burke/Kypreos table were talking about the draft. They suggested Hughes' lack of size is becoming an issue (he's getting banged up) and that Kakko is playing with men and holding up well. Hughes is still the likely #1 but his lack of size and toughness is causing some to second guess, and Kakko is on the rise.

    Isn't their a rule about political posts?
  3. Just saw this... it may be a good sign that Kenny is pinching his pennies.

    Definite pass... this team needs to move on from that kind of wasteful spending. Year 1 and 2 of that deal are reasonable, year 3 is questionable years 4-6 are criminal.

    The back and forth would seem to indicate otherwise.

    Well I know now, but by then you'll have finally figured it out. See I can be condescending too... tosser.

    I've watched Zadina play live quite often... i have an informed opinion. I'm sorry that you don't like it but don't blame this flare-up on me... if you don't throw the bait I don't respond simple as that.

    You actually brought it back up with your baiting #bust tag. I've said all along I'd love to be wrong and I might be... but an AHL point streak is far from proving anyone anything just yet.

    I view Tatar as his ceiling... so let's say for the sake of argument that's what happens. I would term that a bust. A high 1st rounder turning out to be a middling NHLer to my mind is a bust, especially when at this point you're offering up Kucherov as his ceiling.

    Even Yakupov 1.0 had decent stretches... 2.0 is bound to as well. You're looking at trees not a forest. #opinions #eyetest #bust

    Rumors Thread

    If that happens... Kenny can stay... Yzerman who? But I'm afraid I'm taking this with an Everest sized grain of salt.
  16. When Trotz became available I was convinced he'd be the wings new coach... that was a missed opportunity. I was also rooting for Mark Hunter as GM. But I got neither wish :-(
  17. Kip that's ridiculous. He was thought very highly of over his long tenure in Nashville... they didn't fare well in the playoffs once they built a decent team... that had far less to do with Trotz than it did with the Wings and Hawks and other really strong teams they came up against. The CAP playoff curse was on Ovechkin not Trotz... Maybe or maybe not... its doubtful we'd be any worse.
  18. Good maybe... I'm not convinced... will their be better options available I'd thisk so. A great coach can make a huge difference look at Trotz in Long Island. He's made chocolate pudding out of dog crap... nothing short of a miracle. Where do we sit this minute 2 points ahead of Ottawa (the dumpster fire of the NHL).
  19. I think once he's done here it'll be hard for him to get a job... if he does it'll be with a team in a non-traditional hockey market where teams have sucked for ever...

    Official 2019 Offseason Rebuild Thread

    Total Sidebar.... If we extend Blashill, does it follow that Holland remains as GM? I think many people (including myself) would love to see Yzerman step in and take over as GM. Would he be in on a resigning of Blash? Would he only want the GM job if he had the ability to choose his own staff?
  21. I'm not entirely sure what you mean.... if calling you out on your self righteous BS. is gaslighting then so be it.
  22. Those posts aren't even comparable... and you know it. Not trolling, expressing my opinion...
  23. Your sarcasm adds nothing to the conversation... it only succeeds in making you look childish. I think he'd have slid into the late teens, 20s.
  24. He'd have slid further had we not picked him... Nail Yakupov 2.0
