Hiller will be available soon enough. This postseason is pretty good advertising for him actually.

Seems like a lateral move, though Luongo is the better goaltender out of the two of them.
Fuck it.
Go naked.

Just don't crap your pants while you're at the McDonald's and you'll be fine.
Do you want to talk about it?

Should have the eliminated teams logos over the faces of the other rejects in each new gif.
At Marvie's suggestion:
I like to think the Wild logo is howling at the end.

I dont think the media has been bad to Bryz at all. Any media anywhere would ask him about the falling asleep rumor, just like any media would ask him about his terrible play last year and even worse play this year. I really hope the Flyers buy him out now offseason. They need a culture change and I think Bryz's and his weird bullshit is a big part of that. I cant imagine why people dont want Mason as the guy next year. He played much better then Bryz this year. It isnt even close between the 2. I also think the team will rally around a goalie that cares.

He raised a lot of good points but in a dickish way.
Personally, your GM is to blame.
I think the Canucks are a good team and I'd kill to have the Sedins and Kesler on mine. But, mismanagement is slowly rotting the Canucks.
We already have a player who can do all that, and he's a lot younger, bigger and more gifted than Pleks.
Larry Eller.
Habs aren't looking for a centre.

Larry Eller? What about Lawrencé Ellér?
They might go after him if he gets bought out.

Lu's stats were actually a lot better then Bryz's. I would have no problem if they brought him in to compete with Mason next year. I just worry that if he is brought out he will get a lot of interest as a free agent.
This
Small sample size.
Lazar, Gauthier, Mantha, Hartman, Hagg.
I don't know anything about these guys, but just based on what I looked up.....
Lazar: 6'0" 190lbs C
Gauthier: 6'5" 210lbs C
Mantha: 6'4" 190 lbs LW
Hartman: 5'11" 185lbs RW
Hagg 6'2" 205 lbs D
We don't need any more midgets, so Hartman is gone. We don't need centres, so Lazar and Gauthier are gone.
We need size and we need wingers and D-men, so either of Mantha or Hagg would do. All of this based on never seeing any of them play :lol
lol I suggest you do a bit more research and read some scouting reports on Hartman.
The comparisons for him is a Ryan Callahan and Dustin Brown hybrid, both are 5'11 like Hartman, grinding type of players with some skill to play in the top 6.

Plus he played a couple of games with AGally for US in the juniors tournament.
We don't really need anymore defensive prospects imo. I doubt Mantha lasts that long, Jacob De La Rosa is another interesting option, big, fast swede.

Oh no mlbgaf is invading nhlgaf. Mason's games played doesnt matter at all, Bryz has had 2 years to show what he can do and has shown that he is a terrible goalie.
Thought I read rumblings that he was coming over to Hamilton this summer? He's definitely old enough, plus he's coming over from Sweden, so that CHL rule doesn't apply to him.
Edit: He was already in Hamilton on a tryout contract at the end of the season, he should be coming over full time then.
The age rule only applies to prospects drafted from the CHL, players oversees can join the AHL team whenever they want.
Thats why Ottawa was able to put Zibenejad in the AHL.
Oh, I didn't know that rule was only for CHLers! He played a few games in Hamilton at the end of the season, but I thought he'd have to go back to Sweden since he's under 20.
Since that apprently isn't the case, 2013-2014 in Hamilton and then hopefully 2014-2015 in Montreal pls! Same for Kristo. Give them both a year of AHL seasoning.
OK, and when Bryz is dumped, Mason is named the starter, I don't want to hear anything about him being a shitty goaltender. K?

lol, I will be complaining about Mason if he sucks for sure, but I will be happy that at least he isnt Bryz. I think Mason has earned a shot for next year, if he sucks then we grab someone else that offseason.
Canuck could use Lazar. Our centre depth is pathetic
Looking over the draft again, its top heavy with Centre and D prospects in the 1st round, not many natural wingers, especially ones with size.
I think the wingers depth is somewhat like.
Nichushkin
Shinkaruk
Wennberg (He plays both C and wing though)
Mantha
Hartman
The top 3 are likely gone in the top 15 and Mantha probably doesnt drop below 20.

Oh shit, Avs press conference in an hour and a half. Sakic is supposed to have a new role.

Feel bad for Wild-Age. Sure their chances of beating Chicago were pretty much zero, but having their goalies hurt had to have sucked.
I picked the Habs to beat the Sens but injuries, bad luck, and hot goaltending sealed their fate.

He raised some good points and in a boring, dickish way.
And stuff like this:
4th grader material!
Unlike Solo, I'm not against drafting a centre, as long as they have legit top 2 potential. We have too many 3rd line centre types in our prospect pool. I think we have te pieces to move up in the 15 range too.

Josh Kroenke talks like a politician. Woody Paige laid into him about giving more attention to the Nuggets, hopefully now that he is president he'll pay more attention to the team and they won't pinch pennies and sign guys like Zanon. I'm glad Pierre Lacroix is no longer president too, the hard negotiating with the whole O'reilly situation and Anderson before have his name written all over them. He was a good GM, but it's time the organization moves on.
They are a great combo. It's a shame Giroux will probably never have a lethal right hand shot like him to pass in Philly.

I'm fine with Sherman staying. Expected Kroenke Jr to stick around too, glad Sakic is moving up. Maybe after two or three more seasons of being shit Sakic will be GM.
