How come Tryamkin isn't ever in the top 4 plans?
- manvanfan

Because he played 10 games or so and while he looked better than I think most expected he still has a lot of growing to do for him to be an NHL calibre D let alone a top 4.

lots of growing but at least this season he will get an offseason, exhibition games to get up to speed. seems to be a quick learner too.

Anyone remember if any of the final 4 made moves at the TDL? Curious to know if it had an impact on any of the remaining teams but are too lazy to look it up.
I'll go smoke a jazz cigarette and see what one of you lads comes up with.
Thanks.

Good job King Louie

Sure but still likely not ready for top 4 minutes.

pit made an early move to get hagelin, stl didn't do much. SJ also made an early move. tb i don't think did a thing.

1 year, General fanager still shows this season as it isn't over yet.

There has been some great hockey this past play-off season (Vantel, how could you only watch 6 periods! must be some crazy monkey-love goin' on 24/7 in the Vantel household ). Both of these Conference finals have been as good as advertised. My question is, who is your MVP to this point. My initial thoughts are as follows (and yes, let the trolling begin):

1) Pavelski
2) Crosby
3) Burns
4) Kucherov
5) Murray
6) Hedman

Honourable Mentions:

Couture
Kessel (I can't believe I just wrote that)
Thornton
Brouwer
Jones (although he has been the beneficiary of some excellent defensive support)

Keep in mind, we still have lots of hockey to be played so this is a fairly provisional list (no @#@$# hate mail). Please bear with me if I missed someone, as these are basically off the top of my head

Thanks!!

Reimer has done well opening doors.

Still early as you said but my vote in this order is
Pavelski, Hedman, Kessel, Backes/Schwartz

If pens win on the back of Murray, I think he is a shoe in.

I like that trade, brings a top 4 dman with toughness, its needed, just need a dman that scores now

thats not a really good trade, a desperate over paying trade. Gudbranson is only ok. McCann and a 2nd should have gotten a better Dman for that

Don't think that we needed to give this draft's 2nd and 4th rounder to FLA. I think Jim overpaid.

Benning is lost.

Who's the best player in the deal?

Probably whoever is selected in that 2nd round pick

Gubrandson plays a heavy game.

McCann couldn't maintain weight through the rigors of an NHL season so......
