So we could sign Dahlen today if we wanted seeing he doesn't have a contract

his team is in the playoffs.

I think we all said that, including me.....I was wrong

Things change . As you have said many times and this is not directed to anyone because we are all guilty, we need to not take this too seriously.

We are just a bunch of fans with ideas about the team we follow .

NOT ME! lol I was on the fence. I said I would give it time. Reserved judgement. I was mad about the 2nd for Baert though.

Do they have contracts in tier two hockey in Sweden?

I was the other way on that trade. I even defended Granlund's play last season. It wasn't as bad as some were making it sound. I considered Shink a long shot to be an NHLer. He doesn't even seem to be improving in the AHL although he's doing fine down there.

I imagine we trade Granlund down the road. I'm sure the return will be better than what we gave up for him.

I believe so. Similar to the NHL-AHL contracts. I think they can start at 16 though to 19. Can be bought out. NHL team pays 240,000 USD or something. I was reading it amounts to almost 10 Mill USD per year which is disturbed throughout the clubs.

I've been pro JV and trying to stay positive but holy crap. That was some of the most useless hockey I've ever seen. Looks slow and lost and no compete. Only one game but still, it's mid season!

I know this sounds a little harsh but for the rest of the year I would go with the Kids .

I would sit Eriksson out 15 of the next 19 games apologize to Mr Aquillini about wasting his money and reduce the twins ice time to 10 min a night.

It will give you a good idea of what you have with the kids.
It might agitate LE enought to waive his NMC
It might make the twins ask for a trade . This one is not that important but it is time to start cutting back their ice time and make this team less reliant on them.

This is why you're a good poster

I don't fancy the GM part as much as the scouting. I guess being small town and having the Wheat kings here. Seeing all the next prospects every year.

No need see him next year then

London Vs Windsor on Sportsnet at 3 pm CMT. So 1 PM for most of you clowns. Good Chance for OJ to show us all that JB didn't pick the wrong Knights player.

I see us giving Yotes a second round pick in two years to take his contract

- VANTEL

Depends on if he is good enough to play top minutes in the SHL or would he be better off playing in the AHL. Dear old Dad will have a say in that i'm sure.

Haha that's rediculous. That's as bad as gifting JV a spot. LE has not been great but there is no one better to replace him. Sedins...sure give them a less ice because right now they are not earning it.

Could have been Aquilini interference.

I seen him tweet excited about Sedinary. There is your third line next year

Let's see how Eriksson does next season before we tar & feather him.

I can't see him having a worse year than this one.

I hate to be the one to bring it up again but under a different coach and system I think Eriksson would thrive.

He still pulled the trigger.

Next Tarasenko??
- LordHumungous

Haha I wish. However, remember the last time we traded with San Jose where we got Brad Lukowich and Erhoff for a pair of skates? That trade certainly worked in our favour!

It's pretty much the same as Burrows leaving. This team, the system are smothering the players.
