You're gonna have a rough summer then

We need 3 of them.
- golfingsince

Yup

Colorado didn't get to 50 points.



They are the first team to not reach 50 since 1999 atlanta thrashers

And they picked Patrik Stefan

I like the way the matchups for the playoffs turned out! Especially Leafs vs Caps
- LeftCoaster

Caps are the best team in the league with the Pens so hobbled. If they choke again, they'll be the new Sharks/Canucks.

I understand, the trade clauses and lack of interest by the players to move just make it really difficult.

And BTW.....they are fixing the problem by using the draft.

Did you have fun at the Masters?

Amazing time. Great being there, but happy to watch today's round on tv.

Instead of looking at them as long term fixtures, look at them as FA scrubs on short term deals and you'll be happier.

Sweet.

Watching today's round made me want to play the course.

Yup

The problem is, it's the 1st line we need.

But don't look at Eriksson's

Do you not think if Benning went to Sutter and asked him to waive he would say Hell Ya?


Edler is different . I would go to him and say give me a list of 8 teams . He will say no. You ask LV if they expose Edler and a fourth for their second round pick. You don't need his approval

next year is gonna be a mirror image to this year I'd guess.

No I won't
- VANTEL

Yes, yes you will

- golfingsince

I still agree. This is a six year plan We are drafting top 5 . That should be one down two to go

Yeah Sutter might waive but what can we really get for Sutter?

Do you really think Benning will do that? He seems like an honest guy, what you're suggesting is more of a Gillis move.


You've suggested it before by threatening to waive players who don't waive their NTC's, I've never heard of this kind of stuff happening in the NHL.

next year is gonna be a mirror image to this year I'd guess.
- LeftCoaster

Without Miller I think it will be much worse.

Yes, yes you will
- Whiskey-Tango

I actually think you will be screaming more than me when they trade Edler or Tanev

Without Miller I think it will be much worse.
- A_SteamingLombardi

Good. Next year's draft class is looking great
