I like this idea

Lehner is a RFA...
so I believe leaving him unprotected wouldn't satisfy the expansion rules unless we signed him first

Good night in fantasy

Y'all better beat my brother please

i'd like to know how many predicted a paper tiger performance against a team they've owned for years...probably no one except for fisher's grandma
- Michael Pachla

I did. Before the year. That's what started this whole debate.

I said Nashville would be better than Chicago.

In fairness, I thought Chicago would have a way worse record

why ya raining on our parade?

What? The Blue Jackets won a game.

That was the joke....The Hawks will get swept, like they weren't even there.

Oh, I know what the joke was, it was stupid.

Needs to be at least qualified to be selected by Vegas. When is the deadline for QO's?

Probably bumped up from years past.

Will have more playoff wins than the "contender" Blackhawks
- sbroads24

Just stop
You even said if Boston loses the series it won't change your opinion of them...
so don't act like Nashville beating Chicago somehow justifies your ridiculous bet we made about the Hawks missing the playoffs

You're just picking & choosing what to use that backs you up

Chicago>>>>>Boston
Even if they had a bad playoff series

Oh, I know what the joke was, it was stupid.
- Wetbandit1

Nah, don't think you did, because Columbus won a game so mentioning them made 0 sense. But carry on

I think most people thought Nashville would be better than Chicago this year before the season started. I thought Chicago would suck, they didn't. Until the playoffs.

Not sure
Gotta be before the expansion draft I'd think

To be honest I thought this was going to be an easy series for Chicago

Oh well

Boston is missing their #1 and #3 d men. That's why it won't change my opinion.

Chicago is pretty healthy and got stomped

If the Oilers and Leafs lose in the first round he'll be screwed

I thought injuries didn't matter...re: eichel/sabres

They won a game because MAF is playing goalie for the Pens. The man who couldn't even beat out a 36 year old Tomas Vokoun in the playoffs, or a rookie last year.

Well if the Blackhawks asst GM is the guy he's now available.

- chilliard77

I should be winning this whole thing but I'm not going to argue about it poop happens

I just hope one of you guys takes it home

I thought injuries didn't matter...re: eichel/sabres
- Michael Pachla

No, no, they only matter for "good" teams.

I thought injuries didn't matter...re: eichel/sabres
- Michael Pachla

I've never once said they didn't.

I have said they didn't make a difference for the Sabres in terms of playoffs

You guys are really bad at this game

You said the Hawks would finish 5th in their division...
they finished 3rd in the whole NHL

Pretty far off dude

So if Adams is in, it looks like his timeline would cross MacIvers with Hawks.

And you said they'd contend for the cup, and they didn't win a single postseason game. Just as off.

Can we be done with this now? I made a joke and it's being taken seriously
