That was a good one. Very close. We both know your days at the top are numbered. I will not be denied.

Did I call you the stupidest poster on HB? I don’t think so. I called you the least likeable but that’s not true either. You are the second least Likeable. Yes I have a list
- CanuckDon

Pretty sure you've said that to few in here. Maybe all those margs and flights are hitting your memory?

And I doubt you have a list of likeable people on HB – mostly all of us are unlikable. I can think of at least 5 other less likeable people in this thread than me, let alone all of HB

Damn

Scanning and Livingstone are 2 players that I posted about in here a few weeks ago.

Faber has started to realize that size is needed, on this roster.
- Reubenkincade

They are really the only two that look worth much and I don't hold out too much hope for either.

Seems like a weak NCAA free agent class.

I had to drop 2 players just to pick up Mike Smith for 1 game so I could get my goalie games in for the week. Might set me back a bit.

Damn

No Boston, Florida or Pitt? 5 out of 6 teams from the East.

Sounds like you're already making excuses. Worried?

Not at all. I've already held 1st for longer than you would if you got it for the rest of the year. Not sure I'm done with it yet though

Was saying Damn for Carolina's and Tampa's consistency of .700+ in each, and then Colorado's godly .845

Lost to Calgary's back up the other night.

Colorado's bottom 6 isn't very good.

You're just keeping the seat warm. It won't matter how long you've held it when I finish the season on top. 😏

They have some good players int he bottom 6, just need a Motte to push them over that edge

- NewYorkNuck

They need someone like Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow and Anthony Cirelli

Good players but not necessarily the right role players, what Colorado currently have.


I'd be willing to do Jost for Richardinson to help them out.

Edit:

On Colorado?

The Avs have been the favorite for Claude for a long time, but word is they may be switching more towards an upgrade in net...

I said it was a weakness of theirs.

Getting drunk is free. Bit of makeup and a crop top and gringos will be buying him drinks all night.
- 1970vintage

K-man is still waiting to receive his first drink.

Sooo.. Tyler Johnson has now had the same surgery that Jack Eichel did. Artificial disc replacement I believe it is called. Say's he is feeling great.

Boeser wants to be in Vancouver and his own management group isn’t willing to pay his QO. But ok little man, teams will line up to overpay him 👍🏻
- CanuckDon

Your inability to actually comprehend what you read is astonishing, no wonder you're a Trump supporter. Teams will be more than willing to pay for a UFA of Brock's caliber, and I listed off what his market value would be. Nobody wants to pay Brock's 7.5m, but that is only if he plans to accept his 1 year 7.5 deal and run with it. A team will be willing to pay for a kid who is willing to sign around 6x6, even with a high QO. Just because he is qualified for 7.5 doesn't mean they have to sign him long term at 7.5 as a minimum. They can agree to longer term for a smaller AAV. This is why you let teams talk to the agent before making a trade, gives them an idea as to what kind of contract they are trading for.
Has management come out and said they have no plan to pay his QO if he plans to take the 1 year deal? Asking honestly, because I have never seen an interview where they say as such. I have only seen rumors of him being available, and JR/Allven saying they want to get faster, Brock has elite offensive skills, average defense and below average skating. That looks to be the main reason they want to be rid of him, if they do.

Just insane that Buf wouldn't let Eichel get it done. Joke of a franchise

Really?

I hate Trump: thanks for the non sensical wall of text that no one will read. If Boeser has a somewhat competent agent his goal will be to accept his outrageous QO as it brings him closer to being A UFA. If he was willing to sign some fanboy fantasy discounted long term deal it would have been done. He will be traded because management won’t touch his QO with a 10 foot pole. Let’s see what happens at the TDL

- NorthNuck

Buffalo as a franchise was trying to protect themselves. If that surgery doesn't work and Eichel does end up messed up. You have lost a star player and have nothing to show for it.

Buffalo did what was best for their own interests and I'm okay with that.

Boeser has a history with injuries, his agents job is to get him as much as possible. A long term deal with lower AAV is more in Boesers interests than a year or two at 7.5m and Boeser getting injured and only getting 4-5 as a UFA. 36m over 6 years is better than 7.5 over 1 or 2 and then unknown. Who knows, maybe it is 6.5x6 which gives him 39m over 6 years.
