Edmonton?! Come on man
- neem55

He doesn’t have the balls to make me a bet with that silly prediction. He doesn’t know why Edmonton failed last year, probably thinks the absence of Jordan Eberle was the kicker

No chance you finish ahead of Edmonton ...though if you like I would be happy to make a location bet with ya over it.
- HonkyTonkMan

That there is no chance? Yes or no? I take that bet as worded.
Until the regular season starts, location bet.

You challenged and I accepted so no turning back now.

The canucks have like a 2 percent chance of winning the cup.
That my friend is a "chance".




Your new location will follow.

- Pres.cup

Nope. The bet will be a location bet based on who finished higher in the standings. If you want a cookie for being a clever little knob I’ll mail one, but don’t be a wussy.

As far as I know, it is the only recapture penalty issued, so I would think that would be considered the norm...
- Reubenkincade

Aren’t the Devils paying recapture for what’s his nuts? Russian guy, just came back from KHL.

Because he's actually injured, his hips are wonky. That's why he missed half the season last year.

Retire = no salary

Funny, I was just looking at Crosby's first year in the league, he had 102 points and finished like 3-4-5 in league scoring yet the Penguins finished second last, one point up on St. Louis.

His second year Malkin came to over to play after spending the two years after he was drafted in the KHL, BOOM....they took off and never looked back.

Just goes to show you how important it is for Edmonton to get a good second line center behind Crosby. Doesn't have to be an elite guy like Malkin but they need one desperately or they'll flounder around as a middling team for awhile.

Isn't that supposed to be Draisaitl?

Peanut Butter Chocolate chip, please. I'm the third man in on this debate, over the ropes I go.


If you're going to welch out now on the first bet, why would I bet you a second time?

Let's see your new location, the we can talk about a different location bet for after the regular season until free agency.

Isn't that supposed to be Draisaitl?
- 1970vintage

Yes

Draisaitl will play the majority of the season at 2C, with RNH on McDavids left. Fantasy hockey guys should look at Nuge as a sleeper for 65-70 points this a year.
- HonkyTonkMan

If they stop putting Draisaitl on McDavid's wing then yes, this makes a ton of sense for them.

Which is why Luongo will say, "I'm injured", pay me my money female dog!!

Isn't that supposed to be Draisaitl?
- 1970vintage

They had him on McDavid's wing so much he can't really be considered their second line center....at least not last year anyways.

so you're saying there's a chance?

No chance you finish ahead of Edmonton ...though if you like I would be happy to make a location bet with ya over it.
- HonkyTonkMan

You take me way too serious...Edmonton should be battling Calgary and Vegas for 3rd in division, provided that Talbot has a bounce back year and Nurse becomes the beast on defense that I have thought he will be.
Also Draisaitl needs a better year, anchoring 2nd line at centre.

- 1970vintage

Yes. I admitted to being wrong in a comment afterwards.

I was a little surprised to not see Demko on that list.

This will probably be the last year for the Young Stars in Penticton. Too bad.

I felt as if the list emphasized centers over wingers, draft ranking over talent, and strides in draft +1 year. Where as some players were just as good in their draft +1 season as they were in their draft year.

Yes it is a shame. Maybe when Seattle joins the league, it will be able too get them and of course WPG, too be part of this showcase.

They can go down to the Vegas rookie faceoff.

Heard Chevy wants to try and get into the Traverse city Detroit one next season.

They did place Dobson❤, ahead of Boqvist.

I really like Heiskanen and would honestly give up oj and tanev for him.... although I remember adjusting with someone about it.....

Be interesting in a couple years to look back and see who works out and who doesn't as much.
