Well what do you want? it might take a step back to make this team better. But more and more players are stepping in right away these days.

And how many of them played major minutes for a playoff team? MacKinnon, Nichushkin, Galyenchuk and Couturier are the only ones I can think of from the past three seasons.

Someone's gonna have to explain to me in really small words why I've sat through three years of Brayden Schenn developing, so we can trade him, so I can watch Sam Bennett or Leon Draisatl spend another three years developing, on the chance they MIGHT be better than what Brayden Schenn is likely going to be as soon as this season, if they get him another winger?

You sound like a grass is NOT always greener kind of guy. Or better the devil you know guy. I like that.

Yeah but at least the 90-94 had guys like Brindamour, Recchi, Lindros etc.. They were bad, but not pathetic and only missed the playoff by a couple of points each year. The 06-07 squad was just utterly unwatchable.

I have a good feeling about Laughton making the team this year, and to start out in the 4th line center position. With him and Raffles they are going to have another decent shut down line, maybe to take a little pressure off Couts and Reader.

4th line center, maybe some PK time and get about 14-15 minutes a game.
To me that would not be a waste of a year on his entry level deal. I'd really like to see 4 competent lines next season. I think they may let Hall walk and one of Rosehill/Rinaldo to the phantoms.

Yep. That's me -- dance with who brought you; double down on what you have and bring out in your players what they're supposed to do.

Mike Keenan said it best, about Joe Thornton, when he took over the Bruins (paraphrased): "I'm just going to play the hell out of him until he does what he's supposed to do."

Val, as in Valentine. and Door as in Door.

I've heard them pronounce it both ways on the broadcast. I think the Val Door guys are just blowing through the proper pronunciation.

No, Valdor was lost in the War of Wrath before Gondor was founded.

Well, it'll probably be slow until the day the Flyers trade Baby Schenn to accommodate Vinny, where I will likely get banned from the Internet forever since my rage will not be contained

If they trade Shenn to accommodate Vinny I won't be able to see to type.

I'm guessing it will be like this until the end of June then two to three weeks of postings followed by Tangent, Skip and I exchanging tired internet jokes and gifs.
