how I feel this morning

Codes would need to eat a 14 lb turkey to hit a buck fiddy. Dairy Queen hiring rules no one over 140 lbs so they don't need to buy new uniforms

(frank), Colorado is going to get a top 5 pick this season.

Good year to give one up?

How come no one has heard that Carter Hart has now lost 3 straight games?
- manvanfan

That franchise needs to do some serious purging of some pretty high-priced contracts.
They will have to retain, a lot, in order to dump some of those guys.

Oh...Happy New Year, all.

Hoping they can swing a deal involving Edler and a lower round pick for Ottawa's first. There will be lots of competing offers for it though.

Agree on all counts of course. But you mention physical tools and the kids literally is a one-man breakout. his first pass and utilizing teammates will come in time. There will of course be some adjusting to NHL speed but I don't think he's going to have a lot of issues with it. Like Vantel said he needs to hang on to the puck a bit longer and make smart choices...but that will come too.
- LordHumungous

He's going to have to slow down to get to NHL speed

Apparently Sutter is set to come off IR tomorrow. Something needs to give.

The Ottawa pick.....

Never happen

As 2018 closes I think after 42 games, post Sedin era, the team is really positioned nicely with some good drafting after five years of Jim Benning. He didn't get every first rounder right, so it seems, but he surely got it right with Boeser and Pettersson.

Their record is only slightly better than last year after 42 games but the games are so much more fun to watch. I think it might be time to go after a UFA to help out that top six?

Unlike before when Benning signed Eriksson, bad timing because the team was on the downswing, now they're on the upswing and the timing could be right? The poor signings of Eriksson and Gagne might hinder that though?

On pace for 84 pts but out of the playoffs. As long as we are systematically improving a bit every year all is good. I'm still saying we finish 21st around there.

Should be able to get one of them valued picks in the 6th round.

The Canucks will not have contract issues this summer at all . In a few months Eriksson will be half way through his contract.

I thought that it was established that anything beyond the 1st round is likely garbage?

Happy New Year fellas, and you as well Carol. Anyone watch the USA game last night? I was really impressed with Madden but neither impressed or unimpressed with Quinn Hughes game. I'm no expert but I think Hughes is going to need some adjustment time or seasoning to play in the NHL.
- Pacificgem

Madden is an opportunist, he placed himself in the right place at the right times.

Hughes is such a smooth skater, he put on unneeded miles looking for just the right pass far too many times. A couple of times he got leveled during those long skates...but make no mistake Hughes controls that back end and is very poised.

Black Hawk jerseys are ugly for this game.
