Can't tank for 5+ years . sometime you need to build before on it before the said tanked draft pics want out .

Pittsburgh, LA, Chicago all picked top 12 for 5+ consecutive years in the 2000-2010 range.

8 cups combined.

Winnipeg, Toronto, Florida, Edmonton, Buffalo, Arizona are all following that similar path and have bright futures.

Tampa did as well to some extent. How else do you think they got Stammer, Hedman, Drouin with some misses in between.

Reinhart is who he is, a complementary player.
He is far from their biggest issue.
Yet, he also represents one of the biggest chips on the table necessary for improvement.
A good GM looks at all his assets and properly values them, if there is an opportunity to improve the team then he has a duty to do so.

If Risto isn't the major piece of a trade to acquire a 2C, but Reinhart is...bye, bye Sam.
Then use Risto to upgrade the RW position.
Swap Montour for Risto in above scenario as needed.

Totally agree on all of the above.

I got a call from the town supervisor, most have been, said something about basketball. Think you can walk thru them, but cops will be called for anything else.

between casey, cozens and the 2020 first round pick

they do not need a second line center, unless it's a 1 year rental

when Boris Johnson dies tonight, will he be the first leader of a country to die from this virus?

Looks like they need a new GM then.

Mitts is Nylander 2.0 from the looks of it. If the issue for him is taking his career seriously enough to work hard at it so someone can pay him $M's to do so, then he just adds to the weak mental issue with the team. I'll give him another year to prove me wrong, but I'm not holding out hope.

Cozens is young. He might thrive in a 2C position right away. Planning for it would make 3 years in a row of poor decisions at that position. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, fool me three-times...welp, fire my ass as incompetent.

Giving a 2C to a newly drafted 18 YO would be very unique.
But then again, 9 years of losing shows they are that, rather unique.

I've been saying it for months. Bonino.

On a different topic but still involving Nashville, if they do allow a compliance buyout should they trade for Weber? If he retires early they could face something like a $12m and $24m recapture penalty for the last two years of his contract.

If Montreal could send him back to Nashville and then buyout Price they could make a quick turnaround.

Mitts has been in the organization as long as Nylander was. This is the summer to trade for him before he is girgenson value.

Agreed.

The (frank) are you on about? HE WAS NEVER IMPEACHED.

Everyone knew it was a waste of time and here you are talking about how he was impeached because of it? OK..?
- BareMetal

He was impeached moron. Maybe the daily caller or whatever moronic website you get your lies from didn’t tell you that, but he was impeached by the house of representatives.

It’s really amazing the mental gymnastics you guys will go through to believe the crap you post on here daily.

But you’re probably right. Trump is an amazing intellect with a gift for pick if speaking. He is never wrong, always right, and cares deeply for America. Never steals or works against American values and policies. And even more impressive, always writes his own speeches before giving them. Never speaks off the cuff and neve had bone spurs. Never took Russian help, Mexico is definitely paying for the wall that is almost finished. He never partied with Epstein and would never cheat on his chaste and modest genius wife.

Even better, Jared Kushner is even more of an intellect, on par with Einstein or hawking. Solving every problem around the world and never pocketing taxpayer money!

It is simply the mean newspaper article and TVs news people who always seem to want to make him loon bad by telling people what he says using his own words! Imagine that!

but if you are expected to have first line talent, you learn more IMO from a well run nhl team then you could ever learn in the ahl or jr leagues

either you have the drive or you don't


the development leagues are great for those who need work to be that second or third line player


someone like cozens, all he learned this year is maybe a little leadership skill, and possibly bad habits
- homiedclown

Although I agree with your post, I'm not sure the nhl is a 1 size fits all league. Guys develop differently.

Just like going away to college, it lets these guys be kid's for another year. Good and bad

Good post.
I'm a homer though, so I like mine better about the lies from the left...especially the ones from Democrats in the Articles of Impeachment brought forth and approved by a Democratically controlled House which was then shot down by a Republican controlled Zenate that resulted only in wasted time, effort, focus during a crisis, and money.
BOTH PARTIES SUCK.
