Keep hope alive. I'm sure there is someone out there that would enjoy taking your life. Perhaps during some kind of face-sitting session.

Its only fair we give back a Staal. Its in the Geneva convention

They don't ALL have to play here.

Now that's where you're wrong.

They don't ALL have to play here.
- BINGO!

I don’t see where Vesey, Pionk and Claesson fit any longer. No room really. Even Nam or Strome, one of them has to go imo. Kreider is the toughest call of the summer, especially if they get Panarin

You figure these 10 forwards are roster locks:

Panarin
Zib
Chytil
Kakko
Krav
Buch
Leimeux
Fast
Lias
Howden

Well you are assuming we get Panarin, and that Kakko/Hughes, Krav will not go through any issues playing in the NHL.

3 Staal eyes are better than 2.

I'm going off on a tangent, but there was a famous court case where a guy sued the entertainment because during a performance she smashed her assets down on his head (from over the top of him) breaking his neck or something like that. It was even on a TV court show eventually after being in courts for years (not people's court).

I'm not googling for that at work BTW.

Sounds like my bachelor party. Just a $20 in between.

Either all that will happen or it won't, so 50/50 chance right?

I think we all hope they tear it up, but it would be irresponsible for management not to think there might be some growing pains

This is part of my curse from having been on various night shifts over the years. I've watched way too much trash tv and price is right. It wasn't Judge Mathis either, but he was a staple of my daily viewing too lol

The ones at my buddy's bachelor party back in October were nice enough to marinate some lollipops for us

let them worry about that

As a fan I root for Laine and Tarasenko immediately

I just want Kravtsov to have a season like Svechnikov. I would be happy with that. Nothing too crazy but good enough to stay in the line up and put up some points as a teenager

- mdw7413

Yea true but all these decisions gotta be made before the season starts. They have a lot of excess crap at forwards quite frankly haha. It’s kind of irrelevant right now about the rookies playing well or not, and you still Nieves not even in that group

If they can get 2nd or 3rd rders for Georgy, Vesey, pionk, Nam, whoever I think you jump on that

Oh of course. We all want our guys to be good. I just think you have to factor in trade scenarios into that though, for it to be realistic

Definitely need moves to be made. I just don't think they are going to clear house for some rookies.

I almost spit all over my monitors.

We didn't make it to the toy show. One of us took a picture. At least we have a nice shot of the whole scene.

there's gonna be moves, there has to be

if you for a second just assume Panarin is signed, along with Kakko and Kravstov coming

3 wingers need to be moved out of their way

its gonna be exciting

what's been great is, between winning the lottery, rooting for teams to win in the playoffs, signing Fox, there has been so much to talk about and now it's only 6 weeks to the draft

Yeah, winning that lottery really change the whole game. Something to actually look forward to.

Yeah. I think Vesey is gone. Kreids I think will be a TDL decision. Stinky and Fast are very similar, I think they will have to make a decision there.

Better than losing in the 1st or 2nd round and having no pick till the 3rd.

To me it’s

Strome or Nam
Fast or Vesey
Deangelo or Pionk

The only slam dunk for me is AD over pionk. The others have arguments for or against returning

Yeah. I think Vesey is gone. Kreids I think will be a TDL decision. Stinky and Fast are very similar, I think they will have to make a decision there.

Namestnikov is a frustrating contract. I didn't realize it was an AAV of 4.0
