Is it in Toronto? It could be just that they're going because of the location and doing their due diligence on the league and not necessarily to scout any particular guys. If they were in Arizona, that would be very telling, but less than 2 hours, or less if they actually live in Canada like most do, from home?

It is and you could be right. I only brought it up because they have regularly sent scouts to canes games this past month.

Hard hat and panacea. For quite some time according to Stash.

Which is a shame really... I was so looking forward to the Hard Hats meltdown over the Weber trade.

Conditional pick in Ladd deal is a third-round pick in 2018 if Blackhawks win the Cup. Otherwise no pick.

i would've taken Dano straight up for him lol

Must be nice to be so damn good every year you can trade your 1st rounder because it's as close to a 2nd rounder as possible.

I want success..

Ahh, I don't know who they'd really be targeting though. Rask? I'm not sure about Skinner. I'd like to see another year of him staying healthy and productive before I'd move anything significant for him which is what it would take to get him, even now.

Slavin/Pesce? if the plan is to move Franson maybe the move pick/prospect for one of those two.

Well, we're doing our damnedest to follow in their footsteps. Now if we can just get lucky and win the lottery on a Kane like player...

Girgensons and a 3rd for Skinner

They might think he can play with Eichel because he needs someone to play with on his wing.

Me too

Well I don't see the Hawks having much trouble going for their 4th unless the Capitals don't choke for once and make it to the finals.

Sam, Eich and ROR is a solid start. If Lehner is consistent and they can build the D things are looking up.

It makes a ton of sense but Skinner is like the direct opposite of the players Murray seems to like.

I quit coming on when the BuffaloAssHat got on here. I don't think I'm alone when I say the act got stale.

It got hard to watch the bickering, name calling and chest thumping. Been nice here the last few days.

I wonder why it took so long to get rid of that instigator.

What exactly is Murray's type though? He hasn't really drafted a consistent type of player. Only thing we can say about him is he likes the WHL and not Russians.

Players brought in through trade:

Kane
Bogo
O'Reilly
Fasching
Deslaruiers

Bit of a trend there.


Edit: Even Lehner

Lehners job is his too lose. Seems as capable as any other tender out there. Team in front of him needs to score more goals than he lets in. getting shut out 1-0 isn't his fault (to an extant)

Thats a tough description. How the hell do we know what Tim likes ?
Sorry but I giggle every time I see " that's GMTM type of player"

I want scorers and puck stoppers . Thats all ya need to win games .

Team with the most goals ....wins

O'Riley is a two way center, hard working not overly big but great puck distributor and leader
Kane is a big speedy winger with flash and a mean side
Fasching is a bigger power forward
Deslauries is a 4th liner
Bogosian was suppose to be a bigger defensive defenceman. Obviously wasn't that.

There's a little bit of everything in there. I get people think he only liked bigger power forwards but if he can get a deal for a quick winger to play on Eichel's side he'll take it.

See my last post.

Meh.. They are just hockey players . Swap any one of them out and you can say the same thing.

IMO, Luck, Chemistry and skill in that order wins

Agreed. The only trends we see in Murray is he likes to draft defenceman from the WHL hates Russians and likes guys in need of a fresh start. Skinner could fit that last mold.
