Sign me up.

I'll even pack up his turntable for him.

Wait haven't you argued for like a month that a super star talent center can play with scrubs so why pay anyone to play on the wings, but Drai can't because the Oilers don't have anyone to play on the wings... Quick, back pedal back pedal.

I dont even know where to start with you on this...... the whole point is making the playoffs and you mention teams who always make the playoffs.
- hubie

Yes but when does making the playoffs not become enough ? I understand the first part is to make it there, but sooner or later expectations will rise.

If the Leafs get knocked out in the first round again do you think they’ll be happy ?

I think Botts should do what he thinks is best for the long term outlook of the franchise, if that is keeping first rounders and continue to draft and develop talent then I’m all for it.

If he wants to move a lotto protected first this year for a player, he better do it for a damn good player that will be here a long time. We have a lack off assets as it is we cannot afford to lose anymore trades.

Oh and Vessey why are we giving him a free pass

put Galy in there send Jimmy to the Box
we got a whole bottom 6 of guys we can cycle in and out

Do you know how long its been since we have been in the playoffs. At this point just make it, I dont care. I cant believe you will sit there and be like nah i dont want to make the playoffs cause we wont win the cup

West river (West of the Missouri) sucks outside of a few views of the hills, Deadwood, and Rushmore (at least once, then meh). East river actually has a couple of decent cities, but yeah very few and far between. Sioux Falls (where I live) is decent, 200k and growing. Jobs, bars, events, host site for one of the 5 biggest hospital networks in the country. It's what you'd call... ok.

Lived there for about a year back in 1982/83. Went to Oscar Howe Elementary. Wasn't much to look at back then!

and who is taking Bogo ?
- hubie

If Lucic got traded then I can only believe Bogo can be traded.

Would rather have a 5th than a guy who could help?

I think Eichel and a few of the other core guys could use some success. Get a taste for it and come back stronger and better for it next year.

Besides, once you're in, you've got a chance!

That's an old school. Pretty sure they're gonna tear it down at some point and rebuild.. Uh oh, did I just trigger some of you.

As a leaf fan, it would be exciting to watch Buffalo and the Leafs in a playoff round. Also as a leafs fan it terrifies me because Eichel can just win games on his own.

Meh.

At least Vesey isn't getting scored against. For the same amount of goals for, Gally gives up way too many against. Terrible defensively.

I don't really think the Pens need a RH defenseman, do they?

I think this deal would have already gone down.

Gare, Perreault, Bossy
Tonelli, Savard, McKegney
Smith, Luce, Ramsay
Dudley, Haworth, Hamel
- homiedclown

What happened to Robert and Martin, or the great Gary McAdam? All were still here at the time of the 77 draft. While we're dusting off the time machine, let's not swap Savard for Peter McNab or dress Martin the night he destroyed his knee.

I’ll take a gally instead....

I would kill to have the rivalry be as strong as it was in the early 90's
sure i could do without the beer throwing but its was incredible times

Daily face off has the vessey line rated better than the gally line... not by much but
and as bad as hes been only a -1

Iontmgm? Giving up the farm.

This is probably what it would take though.

Why is Steve y trading a 23 year old 1C?
Seems like a piece to build on.

👍good post
- Boss34

Stevie Y is NOT giving up any of his young assets

- Aaron_85

When Healthy BOGO is not as bad as people make him out to be. He is certainly not worth the money he is making but he does play a heavy game. he will not be traded until the Deadline to a contender for pennies on the dollar....

If the Pens want to make that swap (Bogo/Gally), I'm all for it.

I just think Vesey does things that Gally can't (play well defensively, kill penalties), and his lack of production has "bad attitude" written all over it.

But maybe the Manitoba via Germany Whisperer can coax the good vibes back.

Okay, I heard about the whole "Renegade" thing, but never saw the video of the bench up close.
