I swear, if this team battles the adversity and shows some grit and makes the playoffs I will be pissed! If everything goes right they've got an outside shot at a top 5 pick. They better not fukk this up.

And then what? Pick 5th in a weak draft and wait a few years to see the new guy show promise?

We'd need 3 top 5 picks and a time machine to the future to get this team contending again in the next few years.

Great. Next thing I know I'll be taking a leak in the morning and find MT's tiger looking at me.

So what's the worst case scenario for this season?

I can't wait to watch wretched hockey for months/years and receive dud prospects in exchange. Brother, this should be fun.

The doom and gloom on here is pathetic.

I'll come in to post pool info, but other than that, I don't think I'll be around much—listening to female doging and moaning is not the reason why I watch or chat about hockey.

I'll also check my PMs if anybody has questions about the pool.

Enjoy the rest of the season and the summer

What's the lowest we could actually finish: 25th? Whose prejected to available as the 5th overall pick?(barring a lottery draft miracle)

Someone on Team1040 said that the Aquilinis nixed the trade 100%. Someone part of the PEnguins oranization spilled the beans in Public and later called back Gillis to apologize.

If Ownership is telling Mike Gillis how to do his job, I gotta believe he's gone after this year, Torts to

I don't even want Burrows to score this year. No wins & no injuries would make me happy, either way Formula 1 starts next weekend, so hockey takes a back seat.

If there are any F1 fans out there who want to join a pool that's been going for over 10 years. Cost is $100, there are prizes for each event and prizes for the top finishers at the end of the year, and depend on the no. of entries. Membership has been as high as 50 members but this year should be about 25-30, most of them are engineers, and membership has been from all over the world UK, South Africa, Japan, & Dominican Republic.

On the Hawks thread JJ is saying a possible deal is in place for the summer..Kesler for Leddy , Shaw and TT, what do you think?

Seems like an overpayment for you guys but we'll take it.

Doom and Gloom? I just want them to tank the rest of this year to get the best possible draft pick they can.

What's wrong with that?

If the rumors about the Aqulinis are true then Torts was their hire anyway. He's safe.

Lame duck GM - (frank)in gong show with the Aquilini's making the calls. What we have here folks, is a good ole fashion Charles Wang West Coast poop show.

My question is: Does Burrows score this year?

Not sure why you guys would rather have Aquilini run things over Gillis, that's not even close for me.

Great another yes man to replace him, this team isn't screwed because of Gillis it's ownership, and ownership is harder to replace than a GM. Torts was FAs choice, he's to cheap to get rid of him, Torts is here for all 5 yrs.

I think its safe to say that this season has been a major disappointment. To be honest, my enthusiasm for the rest of this year is less then stellar. With that said, I think the off season has the potential to be exiting. We will see what will happen with Kesler and/or Edler. We have the draft, free agency and chance to see if any of the prospects are ready to make the jump.

I'm not jumping off the bandwagon, but its safe to say that this season is going nowhere.

Exactly. Although Torts won't last long either if this team misses the playoffs again next year.
