can't you just punch yourself? do me a solid

No.

It's one year. Do you have to be condescending with every post? Because he wants 3 years doesn't mean he'll get it

His age, knee and massive dip in points should be red flags. The only problem find a good center on the UFA market is almost impossible.

That's the whole point, they need someone to fill Stepans spot.

They found lightning in a bottle with Grabner didn't they? Or your negative blinders don't allow you see that?

Zibby
Hayes

Andersson/Boo

Let's sign a center that's old and slow to 4-5 years and totally defeat the purpose of trading Stepan. Brilliance! Haha

Yeah they did. But he's the exception not the rule. Envr Lisin, Alex Frolov, Ales Kotalik and many other stunk too.

I wouldn't trust Boo and the ? Is an awfully important spot in the lineup

Bonino? Lol. Just saying the options are limited like you said, jumbo at least could maybe be swayed into one yr thing. Nash has a yr left they wanted to play with each other

I would target Bennett. If that doesn't work out see if Hanzal or Bonino would take 3 years.

Yup. If we had a slower big team, I wouldn't mind taking a 1 year chance on Thornton, but the way AV has built this team with speed Thornton I would feel would be a god damn disaster. Rather do Hanzal for a 2-3 year deal. At least he could keep up.

My thoughts exactly. I found that by mistake looking up Joe Thornton's numbers and it scarred me.

Do it and half the blogs prayers are answered. So it's a win-win I guess.

the reality is that any signing that didn't play for AV is a waste of time to bring up

It's from the upcoming ESPN magazine "Body Issue." My initial thought was Brent burns is the perfect hybrid of California beach hipster/Hockey Player. What I know about him is that he hes a cool family history and personal interests. Joe Thornton is the annoying hipster friend.

yes don't do anything ever again because of Drury, Redden, Gomez, Holik, Frolov, Lisin and Kotalik

He was never a goal scorer, and he had 43 assists this year. That leads the rangers.

Ayyyy Esa! The Dallas Stars have signed defenseman Esa Lindell to a two-year, $4.4 million contract extension.

Comparable for Skjei's next contract?

His lowest total in a non-lockout shortened season since 2000-01.
