Happy Derby Day boys. Just bought fresh mint, first julep will be poured around 5.

May the horse be with you all.

If Jordan Eberle can get paid $7 mill per maybe Skinner should test free agency

here, you can have some fun with this too:

Bruins-Blue Jackets series likely to come down to special teams

History shows, picking up ex-Islander players leads to epic failure.

This dolt agrees on Boyle, I think that would be a good locker room move.

Don’t get uncomfortable when cock is around everyone. It’s just cock.

OKOC - Pat or Evander? I’m a Nelson fanatic and have more faith in Nylander than TT.

weird things happen on july 1...if ville leino can get $4.5 in 2011, no reason why Eberle can't fetch $6m+ eight years later

Ville Leino signing ..one of the all time fails in NHL history.

That seems like an overpayment for a middle pairing D, my guess is you thought Evander would bring the cup.

Imagine making millions and just wanting to quit. I wonder how many players felt that way playing for Buffalo?

Lehner
Okposo
Ror
Berglund
Konopka
Lieno

Probably a huge list

Having him quit would be amazing.

Do it. DO IT

Would you rather be the Hurricanes and make the playoffs 4 times in 17 years and go to the ECF every year you make it and win a cup one of those years, or be a Sharks fan and make it every year and yet to have anything to show for it ? Interesting proposition because the Canes have been irrelevant for such a long period of time.

Well no, it was an old joke about Patrick Kane. Good try though

This is a good thought process. If Tage can’t get it together by 2020-2021 then all the hate is well deserved.

Nylander has had his time to develop as well and if he can prove me wrong this year and become a factor I’ll happily eat my crow.

"Internal Competition"

Can anyone explain what pick the Sabres will get if the Blues lose the series?? My understanding is that it will be <20 and we will keep the pick, but I'm unfamiliar with why/how that is.

Re-sign skinner

Sign Eberle

Risto and a 2nd for Cirelli, Gourde and Callahan

Cut bait with Okposo using the late first. Send Bogo to DJ heaven (fla)- retain up to $2m and give the Blues 2021 2nd if necessary.

Do some other things with the defense (???????)

Profit

Picks 28-31 are allocated to the final four teams left in the in the playoffs, the rest of the picks are allocated by regular season finish. The Blues pick would have been 20 but if the Stars win it would push it down to 19. If the Blue Jackets and Avs win as well it would be pushed down even further. If the Blues win the series however the pick would then be in the 28-31 range.

Edit: That is my understanding. Perhaps I’m wrong as well and someone else can drop some info debunking that thought process but that’s the way I see it.
