Quality of draft? If they keep doing well, you might be right. Would be great news for us.

We should trade it, apparently, as the chances of finding a gem are so slim it's much better to get rid of it for a player someone has already given up on

Tortarella for Jack Adams!

I hope they don't, but I've been pretty happy with Bae and Granlund. You not a fan of them?

What are you, a sportsnet broadcaster? guy coaches a bottom 5 team. Tortarella is coaching a bottom 5 team too... only they're top 5 right now

Is too slow for the NHL

You know I love me some waiver scraps.

Valid point, but, Eriksson is a quick fix IMO. That money could've been used to acquire a contract and gain a draft pick or an asset, or both. That's just the way I'd approach it.

True, I purposely left our UFAs as they only cost cap space. I have no issues with UFA signings unless they are for a term that will hurt the team when we are competitive again. I attend most games and I want to be (frank)ing entertained. That said, I understand folks that don't want UFAs

Virtanen just scored

The continual mixed messages are frustrating and open them up to fair criticism. Such as the recent, "we may sign Miller next year" message from Linden.
- LeftCoaster

Who cares Lefty? Who (frank)ing cares. If Linden signs Miller it's 100% for short term to mentor Demko. Perhaps we then trade Markstrom for an asset. Certainly not anything to worry about. The team should keep ALL options open

Perhaps

Benning needs five years of drafting to judge his plan, I just wish he'd draft more and stop with the competitive push because it's costing picks and assets.

Lefty...he is trying to keep his job...a full tear down is not an option. At least they are keeping their top prospects / 1st round picks

Extremely unlikely in my opinion. They aren't planning on being worse next year

Who??? - never heard of the guy

Glad to hear that Larsen is going to be OK (as OK as you can be given that he has a concussion). I thought he was dead literally.

I hope they don't, but I've been pretty happy with Bae and Granlund. You not a fan of them?

They dont excite me if that's what you're looking for. Depth players.

I care, I want to maximize on available assets. Get a pick.

Oh I get that, but if they're interested in winning a Cup, rather than just entertaining you, the best option is to rebuild through the draft.

Its a dirty hit if its on mcdavid or Mathews, aaron romes hit on Horton wasn't dirty but the media made it out to be

I think we all know FA's answer to that. Does anyone know how the profit sharing works for owners in this league? is it split evenly between all owners, or do profits go based off of team value?
