Yeah, he'd try to hit on my young 20 something sisters.
I wonder if Montreal would be interested, I feel like they probably should be
29 other teams should be.
I think most of our fans would probably say no because or Galchenyuk's hypothetical """""""""potential"""""""", Habs fans loooooove their potential! Eller's been in the league for 7 years now and people still believe he's about to explode!
I would take him any day of the week

Orito is on Waivers
He'll get claimed
Edit: Actually idk. Markstrom (another younger goalie) didn't get claimed on waivers last season.
I was just going to point that thread out to you and remind you not to be boring.

Torts gonna fuck up another team's season. Poor BJs...
Johansen 4th line C? We'll give you Brown, Bozak, and a third.
<_<
>_>
I thought about this when the rumour first came up, but I don't see Therrien getting along with him and it's pretty obvious Therrien is sticking around. Our need for a winger is much stronger at this point.
Johansen is 23 while Galchenyuk is 21 and just started playing center because Therrien has felt the need to babysit him for 3 years.

Some people are just terrible human beings. Like Bats and Kings fans (except clydefrog of course, who is a scholar and a gentleman).

Damn Nashville is now Anaheim with their inability to score.
Really, they should try a trade with the Oilers. Defence for some offence. Seems like both teams wound benefit.

Toronto should go after Johansen.
We need a RW. I think we are good on centres for awhile. If Pleks didn't re sign then maybe we'd go after him

41 > 38
Don't worry, I'll never lose my passion for lecturing people on why they should all live in the hip part of Vancouver regardless of their income level.
Therrien is partially to blame, i'd never argue against that, but Galchenyuk had some chances in the past and blew it. I don't think Galchenyuk will ever be as good as Johansen, I just don't see it
then again if I get quoted on that in 3 years when Galchenyuk scores 35 goals, then i'll be a fan of his, but as of right now and from what i've seen + the fact that the window is opening right now, i'll take a Johansen who's ready over Galchenyuk
Tabris is definitely a parody account. A really bad parody account.
His tact is nonexistent, and bragging is his only way to keep himself feeling relevant, but I guess we already knew that.
And fuck it, I'm not going to avoid typing his name or use an alternative.

Look I know you hate Galchenyuk with a burning passion. But Jesus Christ give him a chance here. He was on the Left Wing for few years now. I don't think Therrien or Galchenyuk are on bad terms with each other. I believe he's one of those guys that needs more time. He's only 21 FFS. He's not like the fucking frauds that were the Kostitsyn brothers.
He's definitely behind where a lot of people including myself expected, but you can't ignore the fact he missed his entire draft year and started playing in the NHL at 18. Doesn't help that he's playing like 12 minutes a night this season, he's getting less minutes than last season. It's ridiculous, other teams play 18-19 year old kids more than he'll play Galchenyuk.
I have a hard time imagining Galchenyuk not having surpassed Johansens play now when he's 23.

Preds running with usual lines, Hutton expected in net.
At this point, scoring at all will be a victory.

oh man, Galchenyuk is my favorite player if you wanna compare it to my burning hatred for Andrei Kostistyn
Whenever I see someone mentionning that we should give him another chance I burst into flame and I start to vomit profusely, now THAT was the definition of a fucking lazyass locker room cancer piece of garbage, fuck this guy forever
Galchenyuk will be fine, but only as a 3rd line center, or 2nd if we're lucky. The expectations were #1 center and I don't see him hitting that target ever. He just needs to step up his confidence game, you can't stop playing everytime you have a bad shift
we're all gonna make it brah
Elliotte Friedman specifically invoked Nashville when talking about potential Eric Staal destinations, though it was pretty much just pure speculation on his part.
Plus I'm not too familiar with these Canadian hockey insider guys except Bob McKenzie I guess, but most seem to be viewed generally negatively around these parts and I don't know if Friedman is an exception.
Elliotte Friedman sometimes asks stupid questions during interviews and such but other than that he is a pretty good insider. Also, Pierre Lebrun isn't bad either.
Insiders like Damien Cox, John Shannon, Nick Kypreos, etc. tend to be mehhhh.
Friedman and McKenzie are two good ones
everyone else is ¯_(ツ_/¯
Good to know then, thanks.
Like I said, it seemed to just be his speculation, so I'm not expecting anything.

Eric Staal isn't going to help their offensive problems and that's a HUGE cap hit to take.
Steve Simmons, Howard Berger, and Damien Cox are the best hockey writers in the business.
Elliotte Friedman definitely asks stupid questions, but he doesn't seem malicious about it, and he rounds out his points well. He's also good with breaking news.
Bob McKenzie's the standard insiders should model themselves after. He's been mostly an in-studio panelist, so he doesn't get to interview people too much. Any speculations he makes, he makes sure to indicate as such and to have a base for it, rather than going full blown Steve Simmons in straight up bullshitting.
Pierre LeBrun is like McKenzie-lite to me. Anything he brings up is usually very substantial.
Two out of three of these guys are on TSN. How about that. Friedman is one of the few shining lights of Sportsnet's hockey coverage.
Nick Kypreos isn't bad at breaking news or deals, but he's just a shit panelist and has generally shitty opinions.
Damien Cox is just shit all around. Sportsnet really scored one here.
Steve Simmons is hot shit thrown into a garbage bag left to stew in the sun, then opened up for everyone to smell. He works for TSN, unfortunately.

Virtanen in for Baertschi tonight.
They've been running into hot goaltending for a decade.
Lol. obviously this is a different team tho.
it's easy to make thoe jokes since we're so used to seeing offensively inept Perds teams, but this incarnation is pretty well-balanced.
I really don't understand this. These are just my thoughts and opinions.
Also it's online, I don't need to use tact. Why should I filter my inner thoughts? That's the best thing about being able to post in a forum like this, I don't need to do that, I can just post exactly what I think without filtering or padding it.
And finally, if there was a parody account - it would be one that was here for over a decade (I started posting on old GAF), and also people respond to my thoughts and opinions a lot - so that would mean I was a highly successful parody account.
The real answer is my opinions and thoughts are just highly debatable so they create threads like that. If a lot of parents weren't boring, weren't defensive about being boring, and other people didn't think they were boring - that thread would have little replies.
