Florida may not have a choice but to try and win this year.

Keith Yandle's buyout next season $5,391,667 plus Scott Darlings $1,183,333

Good thing we are going to follow that Florida model.

I was wrong, it was Dayal.

Same same. I like both, but don’t take their word as truth, just opinion.

They'll need to get past both Tampa and Carolina to get to the Finals, and I think this is Colorado's Cup to lose. Colorado beats Florida in the SCF 4-2

I've said it before, Troy from White Rock is the only one I pay attention to.

Both are the same to me. They have ideas and those ideas are the only ones and will never defer from them.

I am not like that. I like different ideas, different routes, things change and you need to be able to change with them.

Drance was going off the other day that it doesn't matter about winning games, they need to look to the future.

Motte is the only real pressing free agent that will be lost for nothing. The rest can certainly be looked at in the summer. The price's now and price's at the draft are different. Teams interested are different. There's a lot more than just they need to decide and sell right now for the teams future.

No guarantees Carolina gets past Boston (or Toronto) in the first round… right now FLA would play the Caps, Carolina / Boston, Tor/TB and NYR/Pit

That’s a pretty tough conference to get through regardless of who you play in round 1.

Colorado has been the team to beat two years in a row and hasn’t made it yet. Watch out for the Blues and I think the Flames are trying to build a “playoff” style team.

He said yesterday on Dummy and Dummier that Motte either signed or traded and if they can get something done with Halak are the To Do’s, everything else can wait until the summer, as long as they aren’t trading futures for a playoff run this season that is.

Florida have one second round pick until 2025 draft no firsts for the next three years.

#CBJ Joonas Korpisalo is taking over for Elvis Merzlikins at 6:06 of the third.

Merzlikins heads off the ice and down the tunnel during this media timeout. No indication what’s up.

-------------------------------------------------------

They are winning 4-3 . Anyone need a goalie?

Uhm, no, not everyone. Large population of picks don’t matter.

So why are you worried about if Florida has first round picks or not?

Why would I be worried ? I posted a fact . I don't care what Fla does on a personal level.


Same as why would you post what the two morons Dayal or Drance post ? It is a hockey site you post hockey stuff. That's what we do .

I've been going off his want to sell for a while.

Plus there was this from Rick D. and buddy.

I haven't heard him speak on other things in the past couple of days. I thought he was pretty clear for his wishes there though

I was more or less laughing. I don't care that we traded two firsts and I really don't care that Fla traded three of them. I think except for a couple of sure fired picks drafting is a complete crap shoot, even more so with a rookie group like Allvin and Chipmunks

Yeah, that was from Friday. Rick D asked what he thinks the Canucks should do based on the results from the games this weekend and that was his response. But do you disagree? Should the management group let two games determine the course of the franchise? If they win both go all in, if they lose both sell everything?
