What would be the solution then?

I think that Rodin needs to play a consistent amount of games over a period of time. Not easy to basically take two years off and come back and be right where you left off.
- manvanfan

I honestly don't care about him. My point is I care even less about Vanek

Just another Russian who floats & thinks he can play in the NHL. He is either lazy or a very low Hockey IQ. Imo he has this season in Utica to wake-up & light a fire under his own ass if he wants to be an NHLer.

He's like Yakupov. Over an 82 game season he would probably put up 30 points. He's just going to suck defensively.

Goldy will either learn to play defence or struggle like Yak has.

- BINGO!

Usually you can get those types for free on the waiver wire. Have at it bud.

I agree with that except i don't make him a special case at the cost of others playing time. He has not done nearly enough here to warrant it & Utica he can find his game & if he lights it up he is legit & will get a call-up or quietly Ridon into the sunset. Anyone catch that lil hint? 😂

1I still don't care.

2Just for the record you do know I am married ?

1. your last page of comments would suggest otherwise.
2. the way you flip flop on your arguments makes me think you are a switch hitter probably coming on to me. i'm flattered but sorry, i'm not interested.

- VANTEL

I hearya but a comparison on both is what it is & it says one is on the team & the other is not. Only Rodin can dig himself out from under.

I know, you love the unknown. You like what potential could be over knowing what you get.

In the end you would be annoyed if the kids stopped producing too.

Lame sauce. I don't want to make Goldy a special case. I was just (frank)ing with Kuzma.

I am not the one saving quotes from 2 years back dude. Your obsession to prove people wrong and saving quotes from years past is borderline creepy

BINGO

Yes?

We all have opinions & as time passes we r entitled to changing them. I for one am not a scoreboard keeper nor use it against others. No point in going there unless yesterday a poster says one thing then today contradicts them self that us my idea of a flip flopper.

Yes?
- BINGO!

I'm going to watch the Caps vs Hurricanes game today. Will Carolina be fielding any of the prospects that I would like?
Necas, Bean, McKeown?

That's only because you're losing really badly.

I won't throw a whitelie out there. I do write the occasional thing down that comes off here. Only when people make seriously bold statements or who they like in the draft. More or less to see if anything that is spat out on here actually comes true.

Last season,
Vantel and Nuck4u believed Toronto wasn't making the playoffs.
Donna liked Heiskanen at 3.
DCT wanted Mittlestadt at 5.
Reuben said Vilamkai in the top 5
Maury said Timmins will go before 25.

Lame sauce. I don't want to make Goldy a special case. I was just (frank)ing with Kuzma.
- manvanfan

In Utica i would make it more than clear to Goldy...

Goldy u can skate & score we know that.
When u skate & do other things when not scoring u r on the way to pushing to make the NHL. If u don't then others will have your job cuz they WANT it more. Hungrier players with less talent will pass u by.

- VANTEL

that's the thing, those quotes aren't from 2 years ago. 2 years ago, you had the same attitude that you have right now.

last off season to quarter mark of the season is when i kept those quotes of you saying that the rebuild is done.

so you've gone from no rebuild to rebuild almost done to rebuild not even started in 3 consecutive off seasons.

you've argued adamantly against tanking and then argued that benning was employing a "stealth tank," and then went on to argue that the team needs to suck for another 2 or 3 years (i.e. arguing that they need to tank.)

when you were anti-tank, you argued that the kids should be insulated and not left out to lose like edmonton.

the only thing you're consistent on is your hatred of the sedins.

everything else, you're the HB see saw. there's no point arguing with you b/c it's more fun when you argue against yourself.

That's only because you're losing really badly.

True i am a bubble poster only trying to compete & make the HB PO's 😂😂👍

- manvanfan

Just Necas and Kuokkanen.

Necas probably making the team. Kuokkanen is in there still because Teravainen is being held out for precautionary reasons.

Otherwise they're calling this one a dress-rehearsal for opening night.

- BINGO!

I don't really like him.

I think that fellow Czech Chytil was good by NYR. Filip Zadina is also off to a good start in the Q this season.

I don't really like him.
- manvanfan

That's fine. I don't really like Bean.

You guys want him?

This is all because of Sbisa. Sbisa with his play did this to him.

That's fine. I don't really like Bean.

You guys want him?
- BINGO!

You don't want the bean? Rodin for Bean. Done. Thanks. You can come here anytime.
