Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, Cousins

Best lineup of all time

James (frank)ed up this might be the first year he does not reach the finals

Reinhart scored 23 his rookie year. I think Casey can do that for sure. All the while giving his linemates real nice opps for apples.

I think Jack starts playing like a 10 million dollar man this season too. His team; he wants to win, he's gonna have to carry that weight.

Top 6 & bottom 6 better. D is better. Goaltending better.

Who knows, maybe we get some real nice surprises out of camp.

Botts ain't done neither.

The RoR trade should be a big bump for Mittelstadt's numbers....more ice time and more PP1 time

Ya, as of now I'm not seeing that just yet.
With Kane and ROR, they have lost 100 points
That ain't chump change
And I don't believe it, but if TNT plays Top 6 , presumptively on jacks wing, that is a lot iif learning going on with Mitts there too...just very raw.

Maybe Botts has a miracle left to pull out.

Carter Rowney has agreed to a three-year, $3.4 million contract with the Anaheim Ducks.

Rowney had two goals and five points in 44 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins last season. He's more of a depth forward, which makes the fact that he got a three-year contract somewhat surprising.

Tom Kuhnhackl has agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Islanders.

Kuhnhackl had two goals and eight points in 69 games with the Penguins last season. The 26-year-old is capable of doing a bit more offensively than that, but not enough to be worth keeping in mind in standard leagues.

I think I saw somewhere that the Canes had options for a trade for Skinner and the Canes presented them to him and he turned them down. Anyone else see this?

I think that Nylander + was going to the Canes for Skinner and the deal got nixed, hence the "See you soon" to Aho tweet that he deleted quick.

They are not sharing that info before the deal was finalized with a 20 year old who hasn't even made the team yet

I agree with that somewhat... but I think with our bottom six being more defensively apt during games with the ROR trade, that will free up our 2nd line(presumably CM) to be more effective.

Our whole top six sucked for the first half of the year except for Jack and Kane. I think Sheary can pull through. He's no slouch. And it's still very early.. definitely not our final roster.

ROR's numbers can be replaced with the 2x 30-40 point players we got in Sobokta and Berglund. I think Berglund alone can net 15-20 goals.

We're already better at 5v5 scoring wise.. Someone will pick up ROR's PP production(hah)

Would you deal Risto, Nylander, and all 3 firsts next year for Karlsson and Ryan?

That's his whole M.O. post approximately 50% of the thread, do anything to get people to pay attention to him because his mom and dad never did.

When was McEichel going to leave us for Torboston

Certainly not for a non-extended karlsson. For N extended karlsson, not sure, but don't think so. Risto is going to be much better with reduced minutes and iur #1 could be very high next year

We have already wasted 3 of his years I'm pretty sure we can Breeze by 8 like nothing happened

you have no idea how much faster time goes with each passing year...that said, the older you get, the calmer you get (or at least I have)...no need to waste time and/or energy on things out of your control
