Freudian slip over your thoughts on signing Latenstiff?
He's one of the best power forwards in the league when healthy, Had 25 goals in 55 games two years ago for us and led our team in scoring when he was injured last year. Of course I'm excited.
I wonder if Clutterbuck will be available.
Pacioretty is too low imo, surprised they said they believe Subban to be the best defenseman in the draft, figured that honor would have went to McDonagh.
Talking about the Windsor Spitfires?
Pacioretty is certainly better than Perron.
Juicy moved up to 2!

Teemu is on the trading block and Bobby is coming back for another year?!
Oh wait I had my phone upside-down.
Oh wait I had my phone upside-down.
I think he's avaliable but it would take a lot to get him.
Nice, I love Gunnarsson moving from the 7th round to 17th overall.
Brian Campbell is good....
Yes, but not $7m good. Well maybe this season with Florida (I didn't pay attention to him in Florida so not sure), but not the later years with Chicago.
Hahaha
so Ducks have up until Sunday to sign Schultz. Murray has all but waved the white flag on him. I hope NOBODY signs him... There should be an unwritten code, like the bro code but for hockey about situations like this. Want to screw over the team that picked you, waited patiently while you developed and helped you throughout college? No NHL for you! GMs should get together and say "screw you, kid! There's a code of honor here and you just broke it. KHL for 5 years for you!"
or something like that.
LOL Nice troll attempt.
Meh, worst case scenario he slips to say 12th, proves everyone wrong and becomes the steal of the draft.
Hell, I still won't be shocked if the Habs take him. I'm pretty much certain the name coming out of Bergevin's mouth in 72 hours is going to be one of Galchenyuk, Grigorenko, or Forsberg.

Anyone down in Vegas for the awards?
Was out by the pool at Wynn with my buddy and we see Alfredsson walking across the way by himself. We yell "Alfie!" and give him a thumbs up, and he actually walks all the way around the pool to come up and shake our hands and talk with us.
Class act. So, so awesome.

My boss was in Vegas during the awards 3 years ago. Met Jarome Iginla in Lulu Lemon and Alex Ovechkin at some EA event.

Considering your club's penchant for ruining young promising goaltenders, do you really think that's the route to go?
Disputable.
Missing first-round picks: Thomas Hickey (4), Zach Hamill (8), Alex Plante (15), Colton Gillies (16), Alexei Cherepanov (17), Logan MacMillan (19), Angelo Esposito (20), Riley Nash (21), Jonathan Blum (23), Patrick White (25), Nick Petrecki (28), Jim O'Brien (29), Nick Ross (30)

During an interview in Vegas Tallon said the Garrison offer is on the table. Hopefully he'll sign.
And lol Tabris troll attempt.

Hey man, get your facts straight! The Leafs trade away their promising young goalies, not ruin them!

I hope it's a reasonable contract so that we'll get a good deal when our teams make their inevitable trade with one another.
Also, you guys owe us. Oreskovich is useless.

He was shitty before we traded for him. He played so poorly for the Bruins the season after he won the Calder that they demoted him at one point.
...and JFJ still traded Rask for him. That's how stupid JFJ was.

JVR and Voracek should be flipped....
Voracek is gonna be REALLY interesting to watch next year.

Agreed. I loved Voracek this year and I cant wait to see him next year.

I am terrified one of Voracek or Couturier won't be in Philly next year.
Gone for something insanely dumb.

He'll drop to 43rd or whatever and Detroit will get him.../wish
Also I can't stand looking at the HFboards thread on Suter in the rumors forum, non-stop Wings bashing by Avs and Minny fans it seems. Who for some reason are talking smack when there teams are more at the bottom of the barrel but with Lidstrom gone they apparently now have plenty of ammo to bash Detroit. :/

Voracek is a RFA and he was making 2.5 last year. He probably should get 3.5. My guess is Homer wanted to use the decrease in Jagr's salary to keep Voracek. I wouldn't doubt he even said it to him since Jagr seems to be a mentor to Voracek and they have some similar playing characteristics. Voracek is meant to surpass what Jagr has done for the team in the next few years.
Couturier has Giroux status as far as I'm concerned. The team should be built around them for the next decade.

They will both be back for sure. I am really starting to think Jagr wont be back though. It sucks since he was so good when healthy during the regular season, but once the playoffs started he wore down big time. He needs to play like 50 games next year so he can be fresh for the playoffs.

He's not worth his asking price for a playoff team. He needs to go somewhere where they want him to fill seats during the regular season. NJ actually wouldn't be a horrible choice in that regard. Any team expecting him to contribute to a deep playoff run is taking a huge risk.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA TSN mock draft. lol Grigo falls to 18th yeah no fucking way.
Oh he had a bad playoffs? when scoring 10 points in 11 games diagnosed with mono and playing on a broken ankle is having bad playoffs then wow. OH GOD NO he Russian. The kid actually has a sense of humor coming to the combine with a red maple leaf shirt on him trying to get the scouts attention.
Scouts could be so retarded sometimes, this is the same shit Coutourier had to deal with last year, if you don't have your regular 2 points per game average in the playoffs then you have bad character and is a risk.
If he is there at 15 we take him and run, I would even consider trading up for him if he falls out of top 10.

That'd be nice, but in this cut-throat world we live in where every CEO of every company didn't get where they were unless they stepped over a few corpses, the NHL is no different. You don't become GM without making a few enemies. Every GM and club has their alliances, but every GM is willing to stab the left foot of the other GM just to make their own team succeed.
Team success --> they keep their job.
Landing Schultz will help ANY team.
My personal white flag has been waving on this situation for some time now...
And GOD DAMN why the fuck did I read a TSN comment, especially after what was said before in this thread about them...
Yeah man, your unwanted spare parts are EXACTLY what we need. Always the same shit on these comments from terrible Leafs armchair GM fanboys.
That comment has to be satire. It's hard to believe that someone can be that delusional.
Either way, posts like those are why I stopped reading the comments on TSN.

You sure? Do the aforementioned also randomly fall down without the puck and noone around?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I don't see Nash going anywhere soon. CBJ seems to be asking way too much.

Murray's always been a GM that likes to get things done ahead of time. He rarely waits for a trade/draft deadline to make a move.
So yeah, barring some significant change in demand from Columbus, I think it's safe to say that OTT is out of the Nash sweepstakes.
