Hopefully that wasnt the only trade with the Sharks today...

6'2", better shot than Tanev. Not sure if he'll be as good defensively since I think highly of Tanev as a defensive dman.

Yea just seems to be similar in terms of solid skating, not particularly hard-shooting, very lean/lanky

It's just gonna take time to get rid of some of the older players...have to be patient.

Like I said the managment will be moved before the Sedins

The concern is that meanwhile we have players eligible for waivers and may lose some if there aren't spots available. Plus it's not like it's doing wonders for their value.

You liked Benning like a month ago

I will love Benning when he gets rid of the core

And you were a Flame fan 2 weeks ago. Glass houses

Wakr up to news that Eddie has been shipped away for a halloween sized pack of smarties. Brilliant.

Benning has done just fine so far.

briseboise was a solid pick. now we get the 210 as well for spare parts.

Oh and clendening who will probably help our pp immensely in a year or two not to mention sven. Sven alone is enough for me to sing this guys praises we are getting younger with a balance of grit and skill and speed hes doing a great job

I was hoping we would have moved one of vey, vrbara or higgins at the very least in addition to bieksa and lack. So that at least one forward from utica could make the jump. I guess its not to late but would have liked a couple picks for the draft.

Virtanen Horvat Kass
Boeser McCann Sven
Shinkaruk Cassells ?

Not bad at all

210




I didn't even think it went that high.

Henrik Zetterberg was drafted 210th.

No they won't, I'll bet a large amount of money on that!!

Who are we losing and does the season start tomorrow?

That what the market dictated for back up goaltenders. There is still room on the ledge with all the other freak out artists.

Nashville great value with Novak

How is it being bipolar by saying all the time that I hate how old and soft this team is?

That is very polar


And the big difference is those guys won a cup
- VANTEL

By themselves? Really? Where we're the other 20 guys?

Veys still young and only had his first NHL season and got 10 goals. I wouldnt give up on him yet

I'm pretty close to giving up on him. If a team offered me a 4th for him, I'd probably take it.

I liked the last 4 picks was hoping sideroff would have been there in the 4th.. Kinda shocked novak slid this much

- LeftCoaster

Well in this specific case it would be Clendening who needs to be on the roster or we risk losing him on waivers. I don't know Lefty, maybe they decided they wanted to play hockey in July? You said be patient but they don't have all the time in the world

He has no place on the team. Has the build of 12 year old girl and cant play a two way game. Ill drive him to the airport myself.

Well according to the polar Canuck brain trust here Edler = Lidstrom and Burrows= Yzerman

I'm pretty close to giving up on him. If a team offered me a 4th for him, I'd probably take it.
- Nucker101

I just don't see room for him
