  1. But he sure could draft....
  2. I think Murray set this team back a couple years. How many legit top 4 d or top 6 forwards did botts inherit? At most 3 forwards and one d? He did a nice job picking up scandella. He also swung and missed on a couple of more. I need some nice additions and improvement but this team is a ways off talent wise to expect to fix it all in one off season. Now that's funny. Hard to complain about free help ;)
  3. It's a big offseason for Botts but I'm giving him two more years at bare minimum.
  4. I laughed out loud
  5. Good info Taro. I'm liking JBott approach so far. This is a big off season for the franchise.
  6. I'll be watching closely to see how Nylander looks. Not expecting much but not gonna lie, if he and Mitts put on a show the hype meter will begin to power up.
  7. This is one of the first times I'm looking at the draft. I'm on board with Liger and would be very happy with Wahlstrom. He reminds me of Mittlestadt last year and Keller the year before. Has enormous skill yet seems to be projected to go anywhere from 4th to 10th overall.
  8. Why Kevin Porter too? Did someone get hurt last night?
  9. Still a long way to go but this is some verrrrryyyyy welcome nylander news!
  10. I think if he's ready to go next October, or November or December he will be up.
  11. Possibly. He has all summer to review game tape and hopefully work with coaching staff to pick up on defensive positioning. Ofcourse that is just tape and it will take game situations to figure it out. I have no problem if he spends the first month of the season in Rochester.
  12. Ummmm point per game player already?!
  13. All Swedish no Finish. I'll let myself out....
  14. This is the most highly anticipated player, other than Jack, in a long time. I know there was anticipation with Reinhart and cough Grigorenko. But this feels bigger than those two, I donno.
  15. Oh this is gonna be fun.
  16. Wowzers. Really? Welcome to the NHL kid.
  17. I would say line mates but I guess Arizona isn't loaded with talent either.
  18. I would be very surprised if they can afford Doughty. Leafs are already approaching cap issues. Spoke at length with a leaf fan yesterday on what they plan to do with Matthews contract. I think the obvious parallel will be a deal similar to Jack. The issue is the cap not next season but the season after. They signed Marleau for big money but it was a 3 year deal rather than a 2 year. I found that very interesting as that's the theoretical first season Matthews deal would kick in (not to mention I believe the first year of Marner and Nylanders though I don't know if they will be bridge or what). Marleau could be moved or have a nagging injury which gets them out of the last year but as of now I think they're a little tough to add a bunch of money. Also, GA, I really think you are flat out wrong about Anderson.
  19. Making room for the new kid on the block ;)
  20. Thanks. It would be nice getting him over here.
  21. Is his SHL team out of the playoffs?
  22. Huh. Buffalo has a 11-23-5 home record. I'm 3-1-1 watching them live this year. Season tickets?
  23. Someone post that outrageous goal he scored in exhibition against University of Alberta earlier this year.
