And we got screwed and should have picked 1st and gotten McDavid. We still got screwed more than Arizona did.

And yes, the rivalry even among fans isn't anywhere near the same as it used to be. Both teams being more competitive will certainly help that.

I never said we didn't get screwed
You said Arizona didn't
And that's just not true

I never said strome over Eichel, but if we didnt get 2nd ID be more than happy with Strome

Fair enough
But I think 99.9% of the fan base would've been pretty upset

We got screwed more than AZ? That draft was about McEichel. We got one of them. AZ did not and we're almost as bad as us

Florida Panthers have locked up another young core player, signing forward Jonathan Huberdeau to a six-year, $35.4 Million deal ($5.9M AAV)

In case nobody saw this already...

I take umbrage about the shot at NT. I grew up there. We are much dirtier than Lehner! But seriously, outside of like 10 of "the avenues" plus Oliver, NT is a really nice place.

Anybody want to do a fun fantasy football league? I created a league for fun, but Yahoo does it differently than it used to, when you make your team public, it goes in the "custom league" section and not the "public section", so I don't know if I'm going to get anyone to sign up. Right now, I've got the draft at 8:30 tonight(live draft), but that can be easily changed.

https://yho.com/nfl?l=109...lnk&ikey=58924f3e7b8a361e

The link for anyone interested. If not, no big deal, I'll just find a stupid "standard scoring" league and join that tomorrow.

Edit: The link gives you all the scoring/settings, and if anyone is outraged by any of the scoring, it is more QB heavy than the majority of leagues, I can change it.

Double edit: I can do it anytime between now and Thursday too if tonight doesn't work. I have the next few nights free.

I hear and read this phrase a lot as a negative toward players, especially from more old time hockey guys, and I wonder if it has played a part in the diminishing of skill in the game in favor of players that use a simple, straight forward type of game.

The play is simply too fast now for farting around going east/west. It simply doesn't work anymore.

Depends what we can get back?

If it something like Virtanen & a pick, that's probably reasonable...
But then aren't we hoping that Virtanen turns into Kane?

Probably depends on how Murray feels about Kane as a person
If he doesn't feel like he can trust him,
Then we've gotta move on

- jdfitz77


Murray likes Kane .... always has and always will. What he brings on the ice is way more important to Murray then the BS Kane he gets himself into off the ice. Not sure why the PC police have such a hard time understanding that Murray isn't going to ever give in to that drivel. I agree completely and that's why I'm a huge fan of Murray.

“Certainly we don’t like this is twice now he’s been in incidents like this,” Murray said Friday inside the First Niagara Center. “It’s not good for the organization, it’s not good for him. He’s going to have to pick and choose his spots when he goes out a lot better than he does, and he’s going to have to behave himself a lot better than he has, obviously.”

“Whether he has done these things or not or he’s guilty of these things or not, it’s not something I like getting up in the morning and reading about, that’s for sure,” Murray said. “We’re going to let the process happen. We’ll go with whatever the ruling is. Whatever the ruling is, we’re obviously going to have a sit-down (talk).”

Yea, Murray LOVES him

Well, if it fills up in the next hour, great, if not, oh well. It was really last minute on my part. I haven't done fantasy in 2 years after doing it for like 14 years. I just burned out, and it wasn't fun. But I want to start up again and start slow with a fun league.

The Kane delusion is strong with a few of you still.

Decent player, but is becoming widely known as severely over rated, and not worth the headache.

Murray tried to move him already. Hopefully the dude just keeps his head down and is a big reason we make the playoffs this year
