as far as I know just change the pw.

Edit: I just mention here because most of my followers are HBzzers and god only knows what went on last night, but if something was said derogatorily from my account about anyone it wasn't me and want people to know that.

As far as I can tell, it just tweeted some sort of diet pill advertisement, and send DMs to your followers with a link to 'horrendous things this user said'. I assume the link, when clicked, would cause others to suffer the same fate.

How will wider ice change that? All that will mean is that there is more room to the outside, where team's like the Rangers try to keep you anyway.

one way it would help would be the speed that players will be able to work up across the blue line.

understand this, gudell is doing a legal 2 step to fend off lawsuits in the name of safety in the nfl. the NHL has the opp to not only improve safety, but improve the game by giving bigger, stronger plyrs operating room and by reducing the size of and softening the equip which has played such a role in injurring plyrs. ...these issues are related.

looks to be a phishing scam that goes to your contacts and send everyone a DM saying people are talking about you...

I think there is very little chance that happens. You never know. Wellwood is likely to be a career role player in the NHL. While Schenn is likely to be a top scoring line player. It's never an exact science, and anythng can happen. But that's what's most likely.
- MJL


Your right. Most likely he will be a role player... But a lot of people thought the same thing about Briere or St. Louis... Sometimes guys can suprise. I just think Wellwood has the tools, he is just missing the finishing ability, which he may learn in a few seasons. His defensive game will give him the chance to develop the rest of his game.

I dont want to pay him too much, but call it a 3rd line energy line. I'll give him Jagr's 3 million, if your going to trade JVR for a top blue-liner.
- RooNosHockey



That's the point. Your not going to pay Gaustad 3M to play on the 4th line.

predicting a player is not a complete science. the same people say one person will be a bust and turns into a star are the same people that try to predict the weather. I will root for the O&B and wish them all the best.

What are the tools needed to get there. Wellwood has the skating ability. And certainly has the work ethic and hustle. But how are the hands?

then that's what happened, I clicked on the lick like a horse's seat cushion. Was falling asleep on the couche when my phone went off late last night so I hopped on the computer to see what the deal was. Wasn't sure if the link was one of those extended message things that people get to use somehow, oh well. Just hope my comp wasn't infected from what everyone tells me it shouldn't have been ran scans and nothing came up, guess i'm good.

Is it in stone that Gaustad is going to get that much, though? I'd love for the Flyers to pick him up for 2

IMO that's what he needs to work on. That and his decision making in scoring chances. He almost disapears unless he is on a break away. I would like to see him get to the dirty areas like Briere does.

I think he would be a steal at 2. But I dont see it happening with teams like NYI, or Columbus... with cap space and serious minutes to give him.

- RooNosHockey

Not to burst your bubble, but hands and decision making are typically the 2 things most NHlers have naturally. Very few guys develop good hands and good hockey sense.. Not saying he wont improve, but its not an easy or normal task.

I hope your wrong about Wellwood. I dont want to believe he is just D.Powe v2.0

If he gets paid, and gets like 2nd line minutes. We arent talking about a guy like Jagr that has already earned the money and is now just out for the cup.

If NYI and CBJ were smart they wouldnt give him big numbers and big minutes.

He is at most a 13-15 minute a night guy who plays big on the PK and can win draws.

You could use that argument for just about any player in the league that isn't a top guy. "Well he has trait X, so if he can develop Y and Z really well, he'll be great!"

He very likely will be similar to Powe, maybe a bit more offensive upside, but he's not likely to be a top 6 forward at any point in his career. Great speed, good smarts, not going to be better than Schenn
