What would be a good offer??

Good Lord.

5 first picks.

Not needed. I think hes a decent 2nd pairing RD and had 42 points this last year. Did a decent job of running the PP.

42 points and caused 99 goals against us

He's not great defensively, not gonna argue that but I think he's fine on the 2nd pairing with some PP time...

Dumb and Dumber have just informed me that Ovechkin is the captain and the leader of the caps.

Who knew??

you're watching TVA sport I see

Ovechkin finally made it to the cup final... the guy deserved it. But it must be a pretty terrible feeling to lose the way Tampa did, not being able to score a single goal in the last 2 games, with all the "firepower" they had.

"TVA: If your IQ is low enough, you'll like us!"

I still think he will end up with the NYI, but this is likely his only chance at UFA and will likely see what else is out there and / or max out his potential contract value via many offers to take back to the NYI to match.

The feeling in these parts is that he's going to stay, now that Lou is on board and will change the entire culture of the organization in a week. Thing is, by the time the new building is ready, they could have a decent team, but until then, it;s not happening and he has to play in a horrible facility where nobody gives a crap about them. There are not many reasons for him to stay.

You see Fred, he was playing on the top pair. He's not a 1 or 2 kind of player. If he's on the 3/4 pairing, I think he would be just fine. He moves the puck well and has some skill offensively. At that position, he won't be under as much pressure to move forward and it will help his D game.

He only looks at +/- and so Petry sucks.

What's the timeframe on that?

The whole team sucks if you're only looking at +/-

except for Gallagher and Byron (and maybe Mete), everyone else sucked last year

Howard, I might have reported his post by accident, please ignore like you do with all my posts, thx.

What's the timeframe on that?
- Pat1993

Three years. And they did announce that they'll split home games between Barclay's and the Coliseum. For me, that is great news, and hopefully the Habs play at least one game at the Coliseum each season.

It is not NYC.

It's a horrible stat. But Pete likes it and Fred is an imbecile.

It is not NYC.

If only they had kept Drouin

Plus, he'll never be able to grow a goatee.

they would have lost 5-0?

L'ile Longue?
- Symba007

Nassau County, yes. It's right near where the Belmont is run. On the way to JFK airport.

Say what now?

Pierre was very sad that all the ex-Rangers and Penguins he talked up as being the greatest players of all time, all were the worst players for Tampa.

Oh, I thought it was a 1 or 2 years to go kinda thing... Welcome to Montreal, JT!
