Honestly, these guys are adults and paid a fortune. They shouldn't need a curfew to be professionals. Why do most people not stay up till 6am when they have work the next day? The reasoning is no different.

I assume by now word has gone out that he will be looking for x amount as a minimum to even consider offers. If Jason doesn't think he is worth x, then why bother talking to him?

I would be quite tempted to sign Orpik to a 1 (although i think it would take 2) year deal for a couple of million. Have him mentor some of the young defence

This might be the most boring draft of all time. There were only like two trades in total

So who are the best guys left available?

Exciting trade

I wonder if the off the board picks are causing the lack of trades

Crickets...

We're on pick 15 and no trades. Is this one of the quietest drafts?

Regardless of your thoughts on Lehner, he would be better.

Ward has been crap for the last 3 years. Why would we want him?

Well trading would get you the guy now, rather than in 2-3 years

So no big trades gonna happen today? After all the talk

huh... odd pick

5.5 million salary dump

The Washington Capitals have acquired a second round pick, 47th-overall from the Colorado Avalanche in the 2018 NHL Draft in exchange for defenseman Brooks Orpik and Philipp Grubauer.

McGuire says Jeff Skinner is going West, says a deal is close to done. He adds Canes expect to have three 1st RD picks tonight, one would come from a Skinner deal and one would come from a Hanifin deal.

In my mind he is either Erik Johnsson, solid but disappointing, or Nick Lidstrom, one of the greatest of all time. There is no middle ground.

I like how humble Dahlin seems in interviews. Seems like a guy who focuses on hockey over fame

Two of the four were drafted in the late 20s. That's my point, you have to get impact players outside the top 5 if you want remain outside the bottom 5

Other teams seem to hit on impact players outside of the top 5. With the exception of maybe Casey, do you think anyone in that list will be a 60 point guy? or a 30 point D man. Role players are good and needed, but we dont have that spark.
