Oh, ok so it's games/years. Since he never got credit for his first year he's not eligible. Got it.

good with Olli, I can confirm. Without he's an average stinker...

Who's up for some controversy? I think we should be listening very seriously to offers for Eichel, as I see both he and Vesey focused on Boston.

I hope you're joking

I'm fine with the 3rd going to talk to him. But eventually we gotta start landing some of these guys we are rumored to talk to

I think it's pretty remarkable we got the best FA this year finishing in 23rd.

I don't know if that's more of an indictment of the quality of UFAs lately or not.

Having Moulson helped. Also giving him the max 7 years helped

With whips and chains?

Yes and yes to both posts

- sbroads24

Ok, sure, but he's likely gone in 2 years anyway unless he takes a massive pay cut and is ok playing the 4th line.

I bet both Boston and Vancouver offered him the same contract, or very close to it.

Yes and yes to both posts
- Sabresfan-365

Nothing wrong with either.

Is there a more Canadian first name than Gord?

"Hey, Gord, let's go get a 2-4 of Molson at the Beer Store, eh?"

I think we are on plan Q by now

From 2000-2013 here are the most notable 3rd rd picks.

Tomas Plekanec
Frans Nielsen
Valtteri Filppula
Alex Edler
Johan Franzen
Kris Letang
Jonathan Quick
Ben Bishop
Brad Marchand
Adam Henrique
Shayne Gostisbehere


So out of approximately 377 3rd picks there are 11 notable players that made a mark in their NHL careers. If my math is right that's less than 3%. I don't see the big deal with what Murray did.

Cheers dumb dumbs.
