optimism is staying 2 or moving up 1. Realistically is expecting 3-5

I'd rather be optimistic personally

Here's hoping Granlund progresses like his brother in MIN. Like to see what his shot is like after he strengthens it after surgery.

Weird.

He's still getting better. The Shink trade was pretty dissapointing. No room for him though, had to find him somewhere to play.

Shink was getting outscored by Brendan Bollig for a couple stretches this season. Mostly due to injury.

Looks almost safe to post in here again. NFL and NHL draft the main du jour topics. How's everyone doing now, better?

This isn't allsports4U is it?

I am not sure what the point is...our high end prospects haven't been playing in Utica. Subban is a 4th round pick that was always an extreme longshot
- CanuckDon

The point is most are saying yeah we want Green because he is great at development. There really is no history that he does or doesn't so that statemen is neither true nor false.

Just did draft sim for the first time ever. Nucks won ill never run it again

Preds over blues in 5
Oilers over Ducks in 7
Sens over Rangers in 6
Pens over caps in 5

I like those....I'll tweak it slightly to pens in 6 instead of 5

That was my lunch except my sammich was ham.

He was passed on last year this time when people were looking and his value was at its highest. Could he make a good NHL coach or is he a career AHL coach?

Sounds like you're the one gambling.

Benning has made moves to try and improve this core. I can't see another GM doing any better than him with what he was left to work with. Benning might be an idiot but he gets a few more seasons if I am owner.

I am not knocking Benning . I think he would be foolish to try another rookie coach. I would go the traditional way and make Green and assistant . If he didn't like it there are plenty that would like that job

Weird.

Blood in your stool? Might be nothing, might be a tumour.

It certainly is

What about Rick Bowness as head coach? Unless he takes over Johnson's job after he is fired.

Best stuff ever.

Yeah who doesn't like horseradish.

I know this is a reach. Don't they do their organizational reviews right about now? Could that be part of a bigger picture? If Green is that much of a slam dunk why sit on the announcement? What's Jarvis's role? Maybe they are filling a couple of positions?

Mustard is for pussies.

That's for my ceasar!! Freshly grated.

We will find out.

#notmychoice.

Hopefully Linden's.

So Green is Lindens choice but not Bennings? Am I reading between the lines correctly?
- CanuckDon

interesting observation and question.
I'd say willie was lindens choice last time, lets hope its JBs pick this time
