"You can't be this dumb" was your first line, you deserved the ban & he should of been banned as well.

When we slump (and we will) I could see a few 'experiments' with Eriksson/Bo or Eriksson/Sutter but really, I think people better wrap their heads around Eriksson being on the Sedin line for at least his first full season here. Injuries will be key of course to line shuffling. I would literally be shocked to see Hansen start the year with the Sedins then may have to join the anti-WD bandwagon with Dragon if that happens lol…Hansen ain't no first liner.

I was being sarcastic but when I think of it , I think they are going to surprise people this year.

Your optimism makes me sick.

I will venture to say they will exceed expectations should they acquire Kane. There would be some fun games to watch against EDM with Lucic.

I am only predicting that they have turned a corner and will compete for a playoff spot. Not saying they win a cup.

Linden on management changes if team misses playoffs again: "We we under no illusions. I like our direction. There are no quick fixes."

They continue to draft well and develop those kids they draft hopefully.

Ya.....that said, when you're a paying customer you have the right to voice your opinion.

I think JV and Rodin get some time too potentially. I'm not against playing Eriksson with the Sedins, but I don't think he plays with them for a full season either. When a team needs to be cycled through with young guys to explore talents and find ways to improve themselves like, they need to be put in different situations. If Larsen can potentially get 1st PP minutes, you have to think they could play around with the idea of mix-matching anything to find ways to win.

Yeah but it becomes like a nagging wife. They have the right to chirp but I have the right to tell them shut the fuk up.

Yup....Twitter is awesome

I like the fact Linden said Desjardins and the coaching staff have to be better this year.

I think they will be with our new assistant, though I still think we need a new defensive coach.

Linden said they need to play with a lot more structure defensively when they don't have the puck, which is what I've been saying for months.

And kaaptan has as well I believe?

There is nothing sexy about our roster on paper. Luckily the game isn't played on paper.
- VANTEL

Sexy? Have you seen the video of Hutton lip syncing Barbie Girl?

So many people are "predicting" other linemates with the twins than Eriksson. I quoted it earlier but Linden literally said in his interview yesterday that it wasn't a sure bet Loui would play with them and he specifically named Hansen and Rodin as other options to play with the twins.

I'm with you......I suggested Beiga and Padan for Kane and a second (yesterday)
I suggested Miller because Sabre's nostalgia. Pretty sure they will retire his jersey when he hangs them up.
- WelfareWerewolf

These proposals for Kane... man. Remember when people lost their minds saying the team gave up too soon when the Canucks traded away young power forward with skill and potential and a 5th round pick for Prust? Kassian's career highs of 14 goals and 29 points and was actually in Stage 1 of the substance abuse program. Now why would Buffalo give up a young former 30 goal scorer, who's goals per game rate averages nearly 25 over a season AND a 2nd round pick, for 2 fringe NHL depth defenseman?

Vantel I agree with you from earlier, the kid's issues are overstated. He has had a couple altercations and has some growing up to do but not the poison that some are indicating, it wont drop the price to "free"

Tim Murray isn't going to give up a skilled, tough, fast, big power forward like Evander Kane for anything less than a full payment IMO. Love to have him at a discount but I don't think you're gonna get one.

Wtf who signs a deal like that?
