Well, I'll be honest I like the prospect of picking high in the 1st.

What's the point? Whoever they pick this fan base will be taking a huge crap on as soon as things don't go well

Chucky hasn't turned out to be what people hoped, buts it's not like he was a bad pick. It just wasn't a year for the kind of franchise player everyone so desperately wanted.

I love the high draft pick talk but it's not happening. Wait and see Price comes back in 3-4 weeks and they win again. The confidence will come back.

Even so, they'll have roughly 20 games left. Not sure they can go 20/20 or 19/20

He always bails early.

Negative bugger.

I'd never ask him for a ride to the hospital.

If they need to go 20 for 20 by that time it's pretty much over

They're going to need to do better than .500 for the remainder of the time Price is out in my opinion. Otherwise it's just going to be too much to ask for the last month.

That's why a trade would be needed to shake things up until that time... still hoping for the Hartnell/Rychel package!

I'm probably the most positive person in here, ask around.

But I'm also not an idiot, don't ask around.

But they'll be no trades, at least until Price is back, and he's out another month and not even skating..

Oh I know you are... positive, not an idiot but on the other hand I think he will pull off a move soon, if he truly believes Price will be 100% by mid to late February, he should anyway...

He's not coming back obie, and if he is, by that time frame they're in a position of weakness, not strength.

But I hold hope, as you do
