I don't know about that, I was reading on some blackhawks blog. Forum member there said he was behind the St louis bench in December and could hear and see the entire team not getting along. They were actually not a good team back then and all the players were actually insulting each other. I thinke Berube had a lot to do with making it a team. Sometimes the right coach comes along.

How much longer is Clarkson's cap hit ? I guess they could send us a 1st rounder along with Miller ? Toronto just set the price on trading bad deals.

Great as long as it doesn't involve our 1st rounder next year, I expect us to be a bottom 10 team again and I want a shot at lafreniere.

When it comes to centers that is the only way forward, unless you can get Maklkin at a reasonable price. But that still won't help us much and we would still be a lottery team. We need one more year sadly.

Ah its all good, just the names might be of a bit. Auto correct keeps most drunk messages rather good ?

Seems they wanted him, had him come over to do some pre-draft testing.

Its what I expected Jbots to do, he had so many late round picks, package them for guys you really want.

There are a few more last two years that have my hopes up. UPL, Laaksonen, Byson and Weissbach. (spelling might not be right, I'm a bit durnk )

ah lol my bad, forgot we didn't have it.

Just watched season 1, my expectations were low but it got me hooked.

chances are we are still going to be able to pick one of the 4 forwards mentioned in this thread earlier.

McCABE + Okposo then ? only thing that could make me happy if we trade him to nashville 5 minutes later after the trade ?

Thing about Jbott is, he keeps things tight, nothing might happen but he always surprises us at least once every deadline.

I think Yzerman will abuse his Tampa connection and make a nice blockbuster with them.

tank for lafreniere ? Yeah I'd tried to be as realistic as possible, don't expect much this time around.

I think if you waive him to AHL, might see him bolt to Europe. Would try that for sure.

Nylander - Eichel - Oloffson Skinner - Samson - Zuccarello Erod - Mittlestadt - Perry ( 2 year deal) Girgensons - Larsson - Okposo Dhalin - Montour McCabe - Ristolainen Pilut - Bogosian Hutton Ullmark (I do expect UPL in here by november if the other two keep performing badly)

I think unlike all the speculation, Risto comes with a high price tag as he should, and that will keep most trades away. Ristolainen is pretty much off limits. The Trouba deal has got to many thinking he'll come cheap, but Jets were back up against the wall with that one.

They need more offense from their middle six, starting with getting a 2nd line.

Larsson - Zemgus - Berglund was one of the best 4th lines I seen play for the sabres in years. Okposo and mainly Sobotka really dragged them down.

I don't know how much more scoring you expect from your 4th line though Zemgus 5+13=18 / Johan 6+8=14 Boston Nordstrom 5+7=12 Grzelcyk 3+15=18

Secondary scoring needs to come from your 2nd and 3rd line. They did what they were supposed to do last year, our 4th line often flipped the ice so the next shift could get a start in the offensive zone.

I don't think either, besides his flaws I would keep him to, can't replace him unless Borgen and Laaksonen suddenly show up. as for the #7 pick Turcotte will fall to us.

I think the both of them had a decent season and weren't really the problem, they are 2/3 of a decent 4th line.

I think the Hawks will draft Cozens or Byram.
