Ducky Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yeah I am talking about the Buff that Toews used a trail of twinkies from his locker to the weight room to show him where it was. Great player not always the best physical specimen. I shudder to think how good he could be if he was committed to better physical training. He played withToews what??? 8 years ago? 10 years ago? You don't have the highest TOI in the league if you are out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can. And just because you are out there doesn't mean you are in peak condition. It isn't a question of being "in" shape it is a matter of being in peak condition. Buff is heavy and can dominate physically. With his talent he would be in the Karlson converstion if he maximized his conditioning. The emphasis on losing weight would increase his effectiveness during that league leading TOI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Speaking of in top shape. This article is a few weeks old, but it outlines what Kessel did when he had the cup for the day. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/phil-kessel-hot-dog-instagram-1.4247092 :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 The #Leafs announced tonight the signing of F Connor Brown to a 3-year extension with an average annual value of $2.1 million per season. Per Leafs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorner Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wonder if Duchene will actually be traded, this time. He's been the centre of trade rumours for what feels like multiple deadlines and offseasons, and it's never lead to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak does not currently have a contract for the upcoming 2017-18 season. According to the Boston Globe, the Bruins have attempted to lock up their youngster for much longer than just one year, offering a long-term deal that would pay him $6 million annually to stay with the organization. https://www.fanragsports.com/news/report-bruins-offer-david-pastrnak-long-term-extension/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Why the hell would Pastrnak take 6 when he's worth easily 7 everywhere else. He should hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawndo Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I know it will never happen, but Pastrnak is a perfect candidate for an offer sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I know it will never happen, but Pastrnak is a perfect candidate for an offer sheet. I kinda get not wanting to pay him a ton based off of 1 year. If that is your view though give him a 1-2 year bridge worth 7mil and say prove it. Don't low ball him at 6mil. Pastrank was 19th last year in total points. Paying him 6mil would tie him with the 70th player in the NHL for salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 It's been reported the Bruins have basically limited what they will offer Pasternak to $6M because they don't believe in paying him more than who they believe are their best players / leaders (Marchand $6.125M, Bergeron $6.825M, Backes $6M) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching them do the stupid. Wonder what Zachary Senyshyn is up to...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 KHL is a viable option this year because it means they're eligible for the Olympics. Athanasiou is considering it, Pastrnak should as well. Other remaining RFAs: Bennett Wennberg M. Foligno Zadorov Horvat Duclair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I would expect Zadorov to head to the KHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 It was formally announced on Monday morning that the Philadelphia Flyers will be retiring the No. 88 sweater worn by Hall of Fame center Eric Lindros. As a result, a ceremony has been scheduled for before the Flyers’ January 18 matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now officially slated to become the sixth player in franchise history to have their jersey hung up in the rafters, he will notably be joining the likes of Bernie Parent, Mark Howe, Barry Ashbee, Bill Barber and Bobby Clarke. “I am deeply humbled and honored that the Flyers are going to retire my jersey,” Lindros said, via NHL.com. “I am so thankful to the entire organization for this incredible recognition. I look forward to sharing this moment with my family, friends, teammates, and of course Flyers fans, who mean so much to me.” https://www.fanragsports.com/news/flyers-retire-eric-lindros-no-88-january-18/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Hall of Fame center Jean Ratelle will have his No. 19 retired by the New York Rangers in a ceremony before their game against the Detroit Red Wings at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 25. Ratelle had 817 points (336 goals, 481 assists) in 862 games during16 seasons with the Rangers. He centered New York's "GAG Line" with Vic Hadfield and Rod Gilbert; they finished third, fourth and fifth in the NHL in scoring during the 1971-72 season. Ratelle's 109 points (46 goals, 63 assists) in 63 games before he missed the final 15 regular-season games with a broken ankle was the Rangers' single-season record until Jaromir Jagr had 123 points (54 goals, 69 assists) in 2005-06. https://www.nhl.com/news/new-york-rangers-to-retire-no-19-for-jean-ratelle/c-290784632 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 https://www.fanragsports.com/news/flyers-retire-eric-lindros-no-88-january-18/ They should have the ceremony before a game against Colorado.
