Lol c'mon lefty....

How did Hextall manage to give Jordan Weal a 2 year 1.75 aav contract
62gp 11g 9a 20pts

He's 25 years and doesn't have even a season under his belt.

so you're saying we shouldn't judge players by a 23 game sample but rather their overall body of statistics. Codes, I think we have a convert!

I don't know why people do this. You can do this with any draft for any team. What's the point of playing"We could've got this guy had we known he was going to be better than the guy we picked".
You need to go back to the desert.
- Marwood

Although, i do the same thing with trades i didnt like. Overall, it doesnt matter

Oilers win 7-2 and the 2 I have on my fantasy team go pointless and combine for -1

Codes rules for UFA signings:

Under 25
No more than 2 year contract
No more than 4 million per year.

Starting trouble early today I see, weren't you called out enough last night?
- VanHockeyGuy

I really don't understand the hindsight fantasies. There is enough to worry about presently without adding 'we should have picked Lizard Nuts instead of Lady Boy".

lol...OK Brian Burke.

Because its fun, and sometimes excruciating, to look back. You measure progress by past performance. Personally I like to use it as a measuring stick and yes it can be done for every team as no one gets it perfect, some just more than others.
- LeftCoaster

I guess we have different ideas about 'fun'.

I knew lizard nuts was the real deal.

Lady Boy was showing huge promise. Reeked of talent, too bad about the social disorder.

Haven't seen a player of his type go that high in (frank)en forever. Probably Gudbranson.

Foote -14
McAvoy -14
Chabot -18
Haydn Fleury -7 looks like a mistake now.

Only if the pom-poms come out after the Canucks get their ass handed to them. I will be napalming the Bouncy Castle.

Outside of Ehlers, a few for Kempe and maybe Point(he was the moneyball pick), no one was really pissed that they passed on Larkin/Pasta/Arvidsson/Lindblom.

A lot of people were fine with the McCann pick.

I know I can see the stats but what is actually happening to our beloved Jannik Hansen in San Jose and Alexandre Burrows in Ottawa. Neither seem to be doing squat.

Try to keep the hyperbole under control.

Burrows is old.


Hansen is the bizarre one, he produced on multiple lines here but has flat out sucked in San Jose.

"offensively, there's no limit to what he can do"

I'm not sure I see the comparison, but I admittedly dont know the player well beyond this article

Burrows was definitely asked for his No-Trade list

Same with Boedker. Seems like some people thrive under Andy kaufman and others can't seem to produce at all.

- WhiteLie

And Ottawa is asking their players as well, not us though we're one big dysfunctional familia here. Eriksson and Edler should be asked to provide a list imo.
