Scott will play every game against Philly, Boston, and NYR.. and I would imagine he would play 3-4 games in the series against Ottawa, Montreal, and TML. I would imagine he would play in a bunch of games against teams like Pitt, Chicago, NJD, and FLA as well.

Give him more credit. He is there to make sure teams know they can't run Miller every game like they did last year for literally 6 straight games.

Scott was on the rags last year. Looks like he can barely play.
If you wanna stick him out there just to pummel someone you ought
To do it as they are facing off to avoid him having to actually
Play a shift. Oddly enough he seems to be a likable fellow
Though.

EDM Defence is underrated, I think they lack a true top pairing guy but it's still a solid unit

Well, Klefbom isn't even in the NHL yet so...plus they really don't have to win 'right' now.

Idk firm believer in take the 'best' player. If they think that is Yakupov, then I think they made the right call...simply agree to disagree

It's a long story but essentially:
- cinderalla contracts for the whole team that went to the '06 SCF from KLowe
- 2 underachiveing seasons followed by two-three years of 400+ man-games lost to injury.
- KLowe promoted himself... sigh
- No prospects to develop until Hall's year came around (Gagner was the only legit prospect (drafted in 06 no less))
- got shat on by Pronger and a number of other FAs and raped on trades as a result
-more years of injury and rookies on the first line
- horcoff is finally a third-liner (great third-liner, but was counted on to be the first liner for too many years

If anybody wants to grab the mantle and continue feel free...

It's gonna be sad/great depending which side of the fence you're on when teams bombard Lowe w/ offer-sheets and truly frank up your salary cap because he'll be forced to match.

I would love if Darcy repaid Lowe for the Vanek offer-sheet. You guys better hope your D-prospects can play soon because your money will be all tied up front. Again.

DSP on the first line?! Definitely lottery worthy! And I speak from experience in that sense! It's definitely an interesting idea. Considering the depth of this coming draft, having four 1sts could be an almost immediate rebuild.
- MaximumBone

is DSP that bad? i know hes still fairly young to be a 1st liner but in a couple years he could mould into a great PWF, but i think we can all agree that Anaheim needs to make a change sooner rather then later

Exactly.....if the kids really pick up their play the EDM organization is going to have serious problems, they better win their cup soon

Alcohol (is) a drug...not really debatable. Alcohol is chemically induced...thereby defining it as a drug. Its an accepted drug, like nicotine,and enjoyed around the world... but a drug nonetheless.
- Colin Dambrauskas

You are right, it is a drug because it stimulate brain like nicotine.

Haha...yeah I'm decent at both. Definitely get tooled on in NHL here and there, but that's when I play someone that has played like 1000 games and has nothing better to do.
- celata29

I just dont have time to play anymore...the few extra minutes I had tonight I came here to check something out, figured I'd chat a little as Im typically only around during the day.

Same here don't really venture here at night too often...Kind of need to get my fix now that the job blocked hockeybuzz, because posting on an iPhone on the 26th floor with poopty service gets pretty frustrating.

I'm not saying he's bad. I'm just saying I don't think his skills are at a top-6 level as it sits now. With a few years, though, he could very well be a good player.

Do you think this EDM rumor has any legs to it?

- NOAH_U

anything that you can ingest, that alters your normal bodily functions is technically considered a drug...most think of a "drug" as something that has been chemically created or altered, but its not always the case...its just most drugs are.

see, now you're talking about drugs and no longer arguing with people...much better no?

So here is what I would do personally. I'd trade Ennis, Stafford, Mcnabb, and Pysyk for RNH plus a prospect

You know, or you assume? What may I ask is your language? Russian? Finnish? Greek? Or is it the all too common Internet?
- MaximumBone

Know. You making me feel i have to take back what i said. In what language, other than english, you can write?

The players have to sign the offer sheet. Several factors play against them signing offer sheets while a few others can play towards it.

Alcohol is made chemically isn't it?

Fermenting is a chemical process.

haha...yeah that sucks. My current job allows me downtime to write my blogs, do some research and chat from time to time...its nice, but its only because of my current position. I may be starting with a new company soon, which means I will no longer be able to write my blogs during the day...like the rest of the world

Yes, I meant not all drugs in general are created through a chemical process...most are, but there are naturally occuring drugs too.

I only say what I say because you prodded first. But to answer your question: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian (you could probably group those together as they're all fairly similar), Quebec-French, and English. Mind you, I have my fair share of struggles with French and Danish.

you'll have to give one of Armia/Myers/Grigs for EDM to even consider dealing RNH

yikes going back to school? What are you pursuing if i might ask

you'll have to give one of Armia/Myers/Grigs for EDM to even consider dealing RNH

Then I'd swap mcnabb and add in Armia with the before mentioned Ennis, stafford, and pysyk.
