I saw that too,
Kapanen and Nylander alone would get more than that package
- PatC80

Right?!

Like, Bill Ny, Kap, a 1st, and one of Brown or Gardiner is the kind of package you put together for a superstar player, not Chris (frank)ing Kreider.

I'm talking in terms of right shot defensemen.. After Zaitsev, we have very little
- PatC80

Oh, OK. My bad.

I think we're agreeing with each other and we don't know it, hon.

To sum it up: I don't want Ferland or Simmonds.
- gravyface

Both are players we could use as they finish their hits and have talent.
However, the cost to acquire may too high for just a rental.
Also, one player wont change how the other 18 play....although i do recognize we have 2-3 players who arent afraid to finish a hit.

Donato sucks and so does Coyle.

So both Boston and Minnesota lost the trade?

Oh, OK. My bad.

for the most part, our hopes of a legit top 4 RHD are with Liljegren

Mutually assured suckation.

Is that what he said? Either way it's stupid.

EDIT: This is what he said-

"Here’s my counter offer... because your nuts:

Kapanen
Nylander
1st (if you don’t have one this year, I want next years)

Then whatever crap you want to offset the salaries,
ie-Brown
Gardiner
Zaitsev

For

Hayes
Kreider
Pionk
McQuaid

Kreider alone costs you Nylander, sorry"

You're right about the right shot d. I've never much liked Jensen, though. He's the definition of meh. If they're that desperate for a right shot defenseman, maybe put Holl in and let him get some game time. Playing once every 40 games is not doing anything for him. He crapped the bed when they played him, but he has excuses - his first game was a full month into the season, and his second game was on a back-to-back where the team was pretty flat (and Sparks was in net, so . . .)

Coyle could fit in really nicely with that Boston team on a line with Heinen and Backes. That's quite a good 3rd line (I really like Heinen, would love the Leafs to trade for him, but that's very costly).

Or he could continue being insanely overrated by everybody for no apparent reason...cause he's tall?

Yeah, he's tall and heavier, but also, because he had a 20 goal season 4 years ago..

Which player has excelled on the Minnesota Wild team though?
apart from Dubnyk I really can't think of anyone.

All the players that go there play worse than before, and the players that leave to play for other teams in general do much better.

The Minnesota Wild in my opinion is one of the worst managed teams in the NHL.

Watch him go on to be a PPG or some poop

Only in Boston.. Franking Bruins..

Coyle is averaging what 13 goals a year? Now, he's gonna score 17 goals in 21 games

Don't look at Nino Niederreiter.

Your team is rolling.

Frank you, frank face.

How's things?
- Atomic Wedgie

Not too shabby. This winter has been a breeze down here which has been nice. Booked a cruise to Bermuda that leaves out of Boston which I'm excited about, but doesn't leave for another 8 months . No complaints really.

Just re-upped for next season. You guys get whacked with your STH bill yet? We rose 3.67% for the regular season and the playoffs definitely took a higher rise. I forget what it was last year but I want to say like 8-9%.

How's everything?
