Hm thanks for the info on tanguay. Didn't know that at all. I definitely think gmtm is going to address the LW in some way before game 1
- jcragcrumple


Camp will be interesting to watch some of the kids, how they progress, etc. The LW we go with could be Moulson, Ennis and Kane in the top 9. Not great I'll admit, would like another one or give Carrier some time there.

It doesn't look like Murray likes PTO's. He didn't do it last year. I'm concerned about rushing some of the kids.

If they don't look out of place Id certainly give them a shot. Cant be much worse than who is there now

I suspect that Bailey will push pretty hard for a spot this year, Fasching is still a year or two away, really needs to work on his skating.. IMO and we shouldn't rush Nylander

Holy god - this is a day when i need a hug from that unfailing lover of mine, Brown Liquor. I'm already going a little bit crazy, and I'm scheduled through 8:30 tonight.

Looking forward to a chance to put the burden down.

There are unappealing hairs around my brown eye that could be a nice reward for a guy like him.

Other than goaltending, I don't see much of an issue with it.

Was actually thinking about this the other day, It's a huge red flag imo. Not for Reinhart but for the team. When the playmaker who is supposed to be the guy having twice or even 3x as many assists as goals is scoring that many goals and not that many assists it's usually indicative of having no finishers on the team.

He's also probably never been posted up in front of the net his entire playing career before Buf. Can't be many apples hanging out in front of the net, but you can slam home some goals from there. Just an observation of where he was on the PP, and remembering some of his goals. If he moves to the half wall, I think you'll see that playmaking ability on display more, with the assists skyrocketing.

Assists are a product of someone scoring . We didn't have that the past bunch of seasons . We should have it this season. Scoring should be up which will increase our wins also.

Exactly. Just giving a little but of what I saw when he was on the ice, even if special teams matter a little, a lot, or not at all.

I said this before. Nilson will be the backup, but if (more likely "when") Lehner goes down to injury, Ullmark will be doing the heavy lifting.

Good god no.

There's a reason that everyone's always trying to get rid of Sbisa....because he's not very good.

I've seen him bounce from Philly to Anaheim to Vancouver.
