I think he is taking that beard to Vegas

Also letting (I know he was old, but still very productive) Pat Verbeek walk after 96 & the dealing of Ferraro after singing him to a 5 yr deal along with Nordstorm & Lappy for 2 goons & a 40 yr old Yarri Kurri. that was one awful year for Neil Smith.

yeah, letting Verbeek walk was assinine

I loved Verbeek. Absolutely hated that move. He was a beast in NY
- airjan23

He went to Dallas & played another couple very good years & finished up in Detroit at I think 41, 42 yrs old.

He was great as the right wing to Messeir & Graves on the left. Neil had tunnel vision for Gretzky & was bringing him in no matter what that offseason.

I've said exactly this every offseason for like the last 4 or 5 of them.

There's always one "don't make such a big deal out of it, he's just going to be a depth defenseman" signing and that signing always ends up playing 60+ games and taking the spot of someone younger and better.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a long time, now I'm just assuming the circus continues until it doesn't.

Snow will turn you when he drafts one of Petterson or Brannstrom.

I likened him to Brad Marchand.... Small annoying guy who could pile up the points and get under anyone's skin
500G, 500A, 2500+ PIMS

Brad Marchand is Ken Linseman

Pat Verbeek wasn't afraid to fight anyone like Marchand is

And wasn't nearly as blatantly dirty as the Rat.

So with careful thought I really like our chances of getting to the ECF again. I'll say Rangers in 6.

I think he is a Hall of Famer: 522 goals, 541 assists. Four years of 40+ goals. Four of 30+ goals. 186 on PP. 2905 PIM. True power forward in a small size.

I just think a different coach now. Cappy loved the vets.

She did in Basic instinct. Well, maybe more like a soul patch.

There aren't many guys who fill up a stat sheet like the Beeker did back in the day.
I hate him, but Shanny did it as well as one of my all time favorites Keith Tkachuk 500/500/2000

How can you hate Shanny, yet love Tkachuk!!
I guess it's a nationality thing, 'cause it's the exact opposite for me.
Especially when Shanny played for us. His laser over the glove was automatic in the shootout.

We would need to give up some young prospects or 1st round picks to make it happen.

Something Bergevin has yet to do in his tenure.

Wasn't there another Russian center that everyone was after and Montreal was rumored to be the favorite. Ship'uh'something?

Pettersson will be gone by then

Thought Knuble and Shanny died..

Yeah, it's possible. But like I said, at this point I'm just conditioned to assume the worst. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen but for now, it sucks.

Unless this is some fancy ploy Snow colluded with McPhee on and McPhee is going to take Seidenberg in the expansion draft.

Awwww

Now you are giving Snow way to much credit.

I've seen 70s videos in better quality, that was just 10 yrs ago.

Shanny is an absolute D-Bag in real life. Goes back to him banging Craig Janney's wife, then later marrying her, and his personality too. Ask around in inner circles... he is not well liked at all. His performance on ice speaks for itself, I dont question that. Much like I can admire Crosby for his insane skill but hate him for the whiney b*tch that he is
