Time for teams like EDM & CAL to step up, their window is hopefully opening. The Canuck’s re-tool should begin with a new GM who knows how to build a hockey team.

Anyone for waffles?

Three eggs basted with half a roll of fried garlic sausage for me thanks

Anyone who believes that simple getting a new GM under this ownership will solve a lot of problems is kidding themselves. If/When Aquilini fires Gillis(or he steps down out of frustration), the new GM will definitely only be hired on that condition that Aquilini has the final say on all significant moves and controls the direction of the team.


It would piss me off big time working the phones for a few hours/days trying to get a deal done and then having one in place only to have the owner veto it and make you look like an idiot/ahole to the other GM.

We don't know that for sure, but it kind of looks that way.

Did I mention that the waffles are gluten-free?

Wasn't my point. Just saying that it kinda sucks to only look forward to one day every year.

It's Edm, there is more to celebrate on draft day then just the draft, the snow is gone for a few weeks.

And full of hash balls right?

This.

(frank) the draft, nothing will happen to this org next season or the one after that as a result of it. Strategic trades for budding players that can make roster impacts next season are the only interest I really have come July.

Actually, I don't subscribe to the 'gluten hysteria', hash balls on the other hand....

Just heard on team1040, do you think Seattle will get an NHL team before Vancouver does?

Try eating only non-processed foods for a week, you'll notice the difference(assuming you're into the whole health thing ).

Yes.

Hearing Tort's will have them sing Kumbaya before the Calgary game.

Will Hartley start his 4th line again? I hope so

Hey good things happen in the draft, how do you think Colorado is as good as they are. Not every team is a (frank)up like the Oilers.

Drafted - O'Rielly, Duchene, Landeskog, MacKinnon, Statsny, Tyson Barrie all drafted within the last five years. Except Statsny.

MG & JT should get canned for that. Starts at the top.

You're taking this out of context. The question (to Tortarella) was had the players quit, and his answer was that based on the people in the room he didn't think that was the case.

Anything wrapped in bacon is edible
