Like i said.. you have a few top end players.. then... about out of 30... about 20 big ???s and a few possible gems. It's not like it was a gold mine.

I think that draft is pretty good now they basically said it was just going to be a whole bunch of second liners

I'm still hoping TM does the smart thing and sell off all his assets and just tank the rest of the season and give us the best opportunity to maybe move up to First or 2nd and get Nico or Patrick
Let's not forget last year the Winnipeg Jets won the lottery

AND then he re-signs with us July 1st
- cabin


We are going to have so much F'n cap room next year before extending Eichel it's not even funny.

Gionta 4.25M
McCormick 1.5M
Kulikov 4.33M
Franson 3.325M

Keep Foligno as he has been playing well.. Zemgus or Johan most likely one or the other. Ennis and his 4.6M will probably be cut in some way.

Resign Jack probably for about a 6x6 deal if I had to guess. Sam to a reasonable deal the next.

He just needs to hide it better. Taylor Hall is an absolute poophead when he's in kingston around queens uni, just isnt getting caught by media.

Oh, so he can be a total jackass towards women its fine.. Just hide it! Wtf go ahead be violent, just make sure no one finds out. Kill her if he has too?

You do realize that every charge always gets dropped due to no evidence right??? A lot have just been false acquisations by women mad at him. Not saying all... not saying he is an angel being entrapped but just because a charge is filed doesn't mean it has any touch of real to it.

no as in if he's looking to get top dollar and extension thats all he needs to do. Its not okay in my opinion but seems to be the standard in pro sports.

Thank you.

We already have....

Eichel, Okposo, ROR, Sam, Kane, and I'll even put Moulson in our + category as of this year's play. Good depth from players like Gionta, Foligno, and Bailey.

Guys like Baptiste, Nylander, Fasching, and even Carrier who are itching or trying to find consistency. To me.. it is NOT time to sell off. We finally have a group that can play but they are just lacking consistency and gel together.

I know i do realize that, never know what to think about these situations cause theres always the people that assume he did it then people that assume he didnt. was mostly the way he worded what he said, Im sure he didnt mean its okay to be scumbag towards women as long as its hidden.

Being able to come out in the 3rd period a number of times and play like they have is a step in the right direction.

It's not okay to be a scumbag towards anyone, period. But his status as a pro athlete will help him get away with it like a lot of other nhlers.

...... it also puts an even bigger spot light on him at all times. Everyone wants to be a part of what took someone famous down.

That goes both ways. It's not like we would have heard about Stoll bringing crank to a LV pool party last year unless he was who he was. He lost his NHL career for it.

Get as many 2nd and 3rd round picks as you can.

Lost of players will be available before the Expansion draft. Use those 2nd and 3rd round picks to trade for players.

If we rush to be good we could end up like the Old Saber teams that were good but Medicore

Like for instance we kind of rushed already with ROR ,Kane etc

Right now we could possibly have Matthews(patrik laine ) Jack eichel. Sam .Risto

But we rushed the rebuild

- GERBE!!!75PTS


.......... Um? C'mon. We are NOT the Edmonton Oilers... you really wanted to be #30 in the NHL for 3 or 4 straight years? The city and fans deserve better than that.

Adding quality young players when we got rid of prospects that we didn't value as high and picks that we had EXTRA of is not rushing.. it is smart.

you can't win games with all 19 year olds... look at the Oilers of the last decade. You have to have some experience in there and just Gionta was not it.

We got rid of 10+M in contracts plus a prospect who said he wouldn't sign here in Lemiux and a BARELY 3rd/4th liner in Armia for Kane, Bogo, and Kasdorf. That's a BIG WIN.

We got rid of Grigo and Zadarov but a very good prospect in Compher for ROR and McGinn. McGinn played good for us then we got another 3rd rounder for him.

Isn't the rule that once one player is picked from your team then all of your other players are safe or is it that if they pick one from your team that you can take one more back off the board and protect them?

From what I was told, Kane is very stand offish off the ice. Did I spell that right ?
- SABRES 89




I know ppl that were at Bottoms Up that night
They said Kane didn't do anything all that bad,
Other than act like a douche

He wasn't fighting, OR dragging girls out to the parking lot through a back door that doesn't exist...
there's a reason all that stuff was dropped

But he does need to grow up & get his attitude straight

Who said we would have been the Edmonton Oilers ? it's it's about building the roster right for many years ..

The reason why the Edmonton Oilers failed they had zero defenseman and all offense and no goaltending

So your going to tell me you wouldn't want Matthews or patrik laine in our core ? You take Kane and ROR

Kane has a whole nother year on his contract... he is NOT getting moved at this year's deadline guys. Good grief.

He was the first BIG acquisition for this rebuild. We are going to see it through until next year's deadline I would almost guarantee it. UNLESS... he has another set of charges filed and then also dropped 2 months later like he has his whole life.

- JVince11




I like Kane as a player...
and I don't "want" to trade him

But Murray does need to consider it depending on the possible return
His trade value won't be higher
