If Washington takes Malkin over OV, does Washington have a cup?

If Pittsburgh had Crosby and OV, do they already have multiple cups?
- dadeadhead

That Washington one is a tough one but it depends what kind of leadership he has Around him at that time that whole team was horsepoop Lol that also means Washington would of took Phil Kessel for his winger ..

Yeah Pittsburgh Would of won tons of cups that combination would be the most amazing thing to watch in person

Kane has proved me wrong.

Although he does have Toews.
- dadeadhead

There is a couple franchise wingers

Kane
Benn
Ovi
Hall
Tarasenko

After that you better have a center be your best forward

Would they have though?

Backstrom over Kessel IMO is still the landslide choice.

One is an almost ppg player, the other isn't.

LaNovas isn't great pizza

I love it their barbecue wings are the best IMO

The pizzas is good the only reason why I got it yesterday because I wanted the wings

Tough choice without Ovi. I think they still take Backstrom.

But that's knowing the future what they are now back when Phil Kessel is being drafted he was actually concerned about going number one overall I remember that
And then something happened I have no clue what ..

It's kind of interesting to think what they would do back then but I think they would go winger because they have that number center

Serious question should Tarasenko have gotten an offer sheet last year? And not just the Sabres to someone he had to be worth 4 first round picks

There is a couple franchise wingers

Kane Has Toews
Benn Has Seguin
Ovi Has Backstrom
Hall Has McDavid
Tarasenko Has ?

Just saying.

We will say the same thing about Kucherov this summer too

Does Kucherov make his way to that list after this year?

Just spit balling here but I would give up 2 first round picks for Kucherov, for Tarasenko I think I would give up the 4 first round picks. Can you imagine Tarasenko on Eichel's wing for 12 years

Just saying.
- dadeadhead

I agree. But they are the best forwards on there team, except McDavid next year.

Does Kucherov make his way to that list after this year?

Does Kucherov make his way to that list after this year?
- ImThatGuy

He's close. I'd like to see a monster year from him before I'd say top 5 winger

It's ridiculous that Tarasenko didn't get offer sheeted last year. The code/ not wanting to upset other GM's in the league is dumb

carryover from last blog Re Yakupov



Again, I know it is unpopular, but he and Foligno will be making the same amount most likely next year.

You get a one year trial for him. If he pans out, great, if he doesn't, you lost Foligno, which can be replaced by Fasching, Bailey, etc etc etc.

I don't see how it is a bad move on Buffalo's part at all?
- ImThatGuy

Yak can prob be had for a draft pick
A late 2nd or high 3rd could do it
I think the Oilers just want to move on
Maybe we throw them a Carrier type prospect

I said all last summer that we should offer sheet the poop out of him and I would do the same with kucherov but the problem is our GM

They rarely work though. If the player is worth the giant contract, he's most likely worth matching

Tarasenko is at $7.5 a year for the next 8 years that's a great deal for St. Louis

Like I said last night we should just go down the list to restricted free agent an offer sheet them all till we get one

Right, and even if he was offered 8 or 8.5, St. Louis would have matched

Flyers have no (frank)s. yeah, you can poach. But it'll be open season on your ass.

You're right that's why you offer 10 to 11 mil per year
