TBH I don't watch Calgary

I have watched about 2 hours of playoffs . Very little interest this year.

I've been the same, I tried to get into some of the series but my interest isnt quite there. I get a period or two (some of which have been extremely entertaining) but I can walk away from it all very easily. Might have something to do with the long season we had here

you missed some good games. TB vs NYI had some real good physical games. Stl vs Chi was awesome to watch.

you're missing out. the playoffs have been particularly good this year. the games and series have been fantastic. and unlike past years where i felt the best matchups and series were in the first round, the games/series have gotten better as the playoffs have progressed.

What I have seen has been very good, but if I don't have an invested interest in a team then I find it hard to watch

Hi guys,

I have been intrepid reporting today, so I haven't had time to put a blog together.

Canada/Germany starts in 15 minutes or so, which means I'm workin' for the next several hours.

So - in lieu of a blog, I'll offer you a teaser. I had a great one-on-one chat with Thatcher Demko today, so I'll have that for you very soon....

okay then take dubious put him as center and Move McCann to the wing.

Move McCann for a mid first draft pick and draft Fabbro/Bean.

Totally agree with this, and not having an overall team favourite I'm not as critical when minor mistakes happen.

Although last night the games were decided by both teams goal tending, Elliott was awesome and Lehtonen/Neimi were awful.

If van gets Dubios, I'd consider it for sure.
I have faith in JB and his team. Whatever he does.

Western Hockey League playoffs leading scorer is a 17 year old.

Joe Thorton at 36 years old was a PPG player this season. kind of surprised me when I saw that.

I have a feeling this tournament is going to really help Tanevs game. He is shooting a little more.

I think realistically we have room for 1 high end UFA or 2 mid tier players.

Sedin,Sedin,Hansen, Sutter, Dorsett, Horvat, Edler, Tanev, Tryamkin, Hutton, Sbisa, Miller, Markstrom are the only players currently signed and guaranteed back IMO. That is 46.9 million.

Baertschi, Rodin and Larsen are all a very good bet so add 8 million for those 3 because both the euro's will have high performance bonuses I would guess.
Now at 54.9 add in Burrow's 2 million buy out and burying higgin's for 1.55 is now 58.4.

Say Granlund, Etem, Vey and Virtanen win 4 other spots we are looking at another 3.8 minimum, so now at 61.2 and we need a top 4 D and a top 6 winger

We have between 9 and 12 million (depending on what the PA does) to fill those 2 spots if they choose to spend right to the cap.

That could get you maybe a Brouwer and Demers at ~ 5 million each.

For a guy that won't give Aquilini any of your money you sure want to spend all of his.
