I guess we'll see. This is the last year of JBs contract right? If he gets extended during the summer perhaps we'll have our answer.

I think I heard he has one year left and the team has an option on the following year.

patience is a virtue, and i understand why people are wearing thin on patience on this franchise. Its taken forever to become relevant again, and its debatable to some if we are even there yet. But trading away kids that are finally being identified as the new core, to fix other glaring holes in the line up, and then thinking that overpaying in free agency will fix other holes, is just ridiculous.

There was a brief moment during the season that I thought JB might load up on picks this draft. But someone reminded me I shouldn't expect nice things.

Sure would have been nice to have a few more 1st round picks like Ducks, Kings, Avalanche, NYR, Sabres, etc. You know, like other rebuilding teams.

I find this post depressing.

After 10-12 drinks the rebuild is over.

Just to keep on topic and to keep the conversation lively, I sure hope they extend Benning. He has really improved the team the last couple of years.

Hughes was ranked 7-10, he was picked where projections expected him to go. I think he was their guy all along.

I remember Hughes being ranked a little higher.

I mean, I live in Canada and I know a lot about the NFL/NBA despite Vancouver not having a team in either league so I don't think it's fair to paint everyone with the same brush.

Not to mention that a lot of Canadians move to Florida when they retire.


I was reading about Juolevi at HF.com and someone posted these quotes from a lot of TB fans regarding Sergachev:

































Probably a lot of frustration boiling over due to being swept in round 1, but still pretty eye-opening quotes.

I have a hard time combining the words Russian and Defenseman together to be honest.

You are supposed to have a trade proposal or future imaginary line-up in each post.

this place is so much happier when there are no absurd trade proposals, stupid free agent signings, and insane offer sheets. Weird.
