Frustrated at media who short sell this team. Picking Leafs to finish ahead of Sabres is maddening. Shows total lack of knowledge and objectivness. If this team can win 7 more games than last year it should put us on cusp. Banking too much on Ennis and Moulson rebounding with big question being Lehner's health. If GMTM can make a move for top 4 Dman in December chances improve. Finishing behind the Leafs is laughable, Price will have big impact on Habs and put them back in playoffs. Bruins and Red Wings have not done enough. Senators will try to win with boring Hockey. Bolts are Cup ready and we'll see what impacts moves in Florida have. 1) Tampa 2) Montreal 3) Florida
4) Detroit 5) Sabres 6) Bruins 7) Sens 8) Leafs. IMO were still just short

Let them pick away . Will be all more satisfying at the end of the year when the team makes them all look like fools.

Gotta say Murray did a nice job with the RFA's this summer.

Foligno- 1 year contract at $2.25M
Girgs- 1 year @ $1.150M
McCabe- 3 years @ $1.6M
Risto- 6 years @$5.4M
Nelson- 2 years at $650K

Did I miss something? Who the hell is "Beer"?

Nevermind Moulson. I keep forgetting he's still on the team.

It took me a few minutes to figure out who that is too.

But I'm old so I have an excuse.

The beer is spelled different too. Molson is the beer, Moulson is the guy, so it doesn't even get connected in my brain. But I make odd connections so that's not surprising.

Looks like it came down to Fasching or Nylander and Guhle or Nelson.
- mhp




I think Fasching goes back down as soon as O'Reilly & Okposo are ready
Either Deslauriers or Grant make more sense as the 13th forward
And there's no reason to carry 14 up here
Fasching will go get top6 time in Rochester for most of the season

Makes sense but who knows what the plan will be. I agree after the west coast trip I can't see them keeping 14 forwards.

Yeah, it just wouldn't make sense
I know we all wanna see Bailey, Nylander & Fasching up here asap...
but it makes more sense for them to get top6 minutes in Rochester instead of bottom6 minutes here
Our #1 goal for those guys is what's best for their development
Not if they're a little better than aging Moulson & Gionta

They'll be up here next year

Nylander to Roch, Guhle to Jr.

Grant, Nelson and Fasching make it.

Seems to be banking Lehners health is a safer bet than Crosby's
