Agreed. I get enough of this crap on face-bag.

Agreed.

So, on another note, I didn't get to see much of the game Saturday, but it appears Lehner had another solid performance. It's too bad the team in front of him can't seem to score when he's in.

Nobody is saying he's not talented. But have you gotten to see much of Larkin, Eichel, or Domi? They are all also crazy talented. Larkin has gotten time with Zetterberg this year, but in general, none of those 3 are getting to play with linemates even remotely close to being as talented as Kane is.

I have actually, and you're right, they are really talented, too. However, Panarin gets to see the top pairing d-men every shift, as well - do those other kids?

I'm not trying to argue, I just see this kid as a star on any team. And, giving him less credit because of his team/linemates is flat out wrong. People said the same thing about Saad and Leddy because they played with the Hawks. Now, they're on other teams and one's an all-star and the other is a top pairing d-man.

So sounds like the Blues cannot trade a D man right yet, so I doubt they get Drouin before deadline.

So who breaks first, Drouin or a trade? I mean, the kid is just sitting and not playing somewhere, right? (I agree, TB should not rush to meet his needs)

Serious question. Isn't this just a little bit backwards?
- Der Kaiser


You just made me laugh a little.

Perhaps, but if you hit on so many late round picks isn't that a testament to the scouting dept?

I can admit that my knowledge is limited as to the drafting process, but I would assume every GM is pretty familiar with 1st round talent, but would defer to the scouting department for later rounds. Or, I could be completely wrong.

I just remember Uncle Dale loving Cam Barker, Jake Skille, and Kyle Beach. Yuck.

thats kinda the drum I was beating even when Lehner was out….
Losing a lot of 1-goal games really isn't the goalies fault, right?

I don't know much about drafting either. I just like to watch the games. I don't have the level of interest necessary to learn about prospects and rankings and stuff like that.

Eberle to Anaheim for Fowler. (Add on either side)
RNH to Minnesota for Brodin (Add on either side)


That is what I would try to work with.

- ImThatGuy


We are getting Brodin with Ennis as the main piece going over...just a hunch.

Brodin's foot is broken, isn't it? And he's in a deep deep slump?

He didn't have either of them last year and was top in the league in points when he broke his collarbone. His numbers have increased this year, but I don't know that you can say that getting Anisimov and Panarin are really the reason. I think he's really just that good.
- HonkFortheGoose



When you increase your scoring by like 30% year over year, yes you can give some credit to your new line-mates and the chemistry. Kane was scoring a point a game last year and was in the lead by only one point when hurt. This year he is another level above the rest. Panarin especially has amazing chemistry with Kane. It is almost Sedin like in some regards how well they find each other on the ice.

Guys got a broken foot and Ennis has a concussion... If this trade happens would be in off season once Ennis has proved he is concussion free

It's the Kane trade all over again... Trade for a player that can't play for awhile.

And then female dog about that trade until Hell freezes over.
