I wonder if Booner has to evacuate? Too many dam fires. A fire started about 8 KM from our house but the neighbours band together with the fire department and got it out. I really don't want to have to evacuate from another city. Thats stressful sh!t.

where are you at, fires are sparking in hixon I heard.

I don't mind JVR, but the fact he's from TO leaves me with a bit of vomit in my mouth.
- VanHockeyGuy

Bringing him in as a long term solution makes zero sense. If he's brought in here it better be just to flip him before seasons end.

Sven is definitely in the top 9. I wouldn't saddle Boeser with the burden of carrying the Sedins defensively
- CanuckDon

My problem is we have too many of the same type player Granlund Rodin Gagner Sven . Two Sedins . We need more of mix. I chose Granlund as a set up fas skilled winger and Boeser as the sniper.

You could carry Sven as a third line wing but then you are going in with LE and Sutter . You have no Maroon type winger that will create space and toughness.

Too many Ice Capade type players . You need some Snipers and some grit

Looks like dog days are here... summer prospect camp is over and no more stories online. Enjoy.

MacEwen, JV and Gadjovich are your options there but not sure if any ready. Grit players without skill become an anchor now. Can't have a knuckle dragger anymore cause new NHL is moving to scoring need on all 4 lines.

Hope everyone is safe hope people don't try traveling to south from up here in north

If Benning is trading Tanev for one year service of JVR or Kane then he will be ran out of town. Wait until they are UFAs .

Give your head a shake guys. If you are trading Tanev think long term help , not provide Leafs cap relief.

That may be good in three years but we are talking now.

If he gets other assets with them and then flip them at the deadline, I am good with that. JVR + Tor 1st. Flip JVR at deadline for another 1st and a 2nd. That is ideal.

Why you guys want to trade with Leafs is honestly mind boggling. How often does that turn out well?

How many times does one have to tell us that it is new nhl speed skill blah blah blah

By the time we catch up to a few of these teams that have gone this route the league will have changed again.
Just build a team with skill speed and some snarl quit this building or gifting roster spots to pussies.

If JVR is worth a 1st and 2nd then why isn't Toronto trading him for that?

Leafs Martin Kadri Komorov

Oilers Kassian Lucic Maroon Hendricks Gryba Nurse.


Flames Ferland Engelland ( now gone)

Ducks Getzlaf Perry Maroon (gone) Kesler Bieksa

Canucks Horvat Hutton Edler

Compare the team toughness. Dorsett lets see if he plays and see how many fights Gudbrandson has?

He ain't worth poop

You got that right

Look at the Hanzal trade last yr. JVR is better then Hanzal.
- Kaynine

Was Hanzal a cap dump?

Maybe we should get Lou as goalie coach? We will be paying him for years anyways

That may be good in three years but we are talking now.
- VANTEL

That's the issue. If the size guy's with grit and skill aren't ready then the skill guy's trump the grit only guy's in game of speed and skill that the NHL is dawning now.

- VANTEL

Fair deals are damn near a thing of the past,period. Last summer was a shocker with 2 high profile hockey trades...the rest are salary dumps, expiring contracts, pick and prospects, money and cap space.
Very rarely is a trade made today that helps both teams immediately.

If JVR is worth a 1st and 2nd then why isn't Toronto trading him for that?
- A_SteamingLombardi

Because a 1st and 2nd don't get them a D they need. JVR alone doesn't get them what they want. Whether it is Tanev or another D like him, they will add to JVR to get it.
