So, you want a guy who is in his second year to center the top line? The same guy that had a rough time in the tail end of his first season? You know, the guy who was in the Calder discussion until he fell off the map due to the longer grind of an NHL schedule? That guy?

Good catch, I guess I missed that part on the read through. Dang it.

Yeah, but that was PRIOR to this year. I was the same way but I think we'll be OK now?

A usual move for Red Wings players to protect them and protect the team from them getting poached.. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2016/07/05/detroit-red-wings-danny-dekeyser-arbitration/86715920/ <insert mandatory KH boilerplate here> Holland said he is “confident a deal will get done” at some point... </boilerplate>

On NHL radio they were saying his wife's about to have another baby too. The ol' "family life" retirement. Didn't want to move, wanted to be with his kids, etc.

He was told not to bother by Stamkos' people. After the meeting in TO, it confirmed what Stamkos knew all along - he wanted to stay in TB. It's been all over the news and NHL radio - why is that so hard to understand?

None of which has amounted to anything of significance. Your definition of significant and the DRW's definition are clearly different.

He is going to be ADORED by Smashville.

I can only like this once, so I'm quoting it as a second like.

Is there a link to the worst contracts team article?

https://www.nhl.com/news/oilers-trade-taylor-hall-to-devils-for-adam-larsson/c-281082608 The Edmonton Oilers traded left wing Taylor Hall to the New Jersey Devils for defenseman Adam Larsson on Wednesday. Hall, 24, had 65 points (26 goals, 39 assists) in 82 games this season. Taken by the Oilers with the first pick of the 2010 NHL Draft, Hall has 328 points (132 goals, 196 assists) in 381 games. He has scored at least 20 goals four times in six seasons. The Devils were No. 30 in the League at 2.22 goals per game this season, and their leader in goals and points, forward Kyle Palmieri, can become a restricted free agent Friday. Larsson, 23, had three goals and 15 assists in 82 games this season, and averaged an NHL-career best 22:30 of ice time per game. The right-shot defender was the No. 4 pick of the 2011 draft. He has 64 points (nine goals, 55 assists) in 274 games. The Oilers have one right-shot defender signed for next season, Mark Fayne. Adam Clendening and Eric Gryba, the other right-shot defensemen who finished 2015-16 with the Oilers, will become unrestricted free agents Friday.

Me too.

Yucky. GR bound? I know numbers don't tell the whole tale - has anyone seen him play and have any input?

I think this definitely says "ALL IN" on the Stammer Sweepstakes ©.

I love how everyone thinks KH and the gang suck.. Meanwhile, they're making moves to ditch cap space and get better. The best picks are gone.. why not trade down, shed salary cap, and pick a few spots later. BRILLIANT!

The Bean has been flicked.... err, I mean picked.

Dafuq am I looking at? It looks like a CAD drawing of a die for use in Dungeons and Dragons.

Travesty, a sham, and a mockery - a traveshamockery! A beer ad involving Bob Odenkirk! I went and found it for ya..

Didn't see the other thread by HT001.. disregard.

Game one tonight. Tampa is trying to make a repeat of last year's finals appearance. Despite being the "beatable" team in many people's eyes, here they are with a chance to play to be the East's finalist. I used to have a mantra that was - root for the team that puts your team out to go all the way. The reason being that if you got beat, you want to know you got beat by the best. I don't necessarily still follow that, but I am rooting for the Bolts over the Antarctic Chickens.

DAMN IT, NASHVILLE! You had ONE job. ONE JOB.
