He signed Mike Smith, acquired Duncan Keith and AA. He got lucky on Hyman as he was signed just expecting Hyman to be 30 to point point Hyman and he became a force. How many coaches did he fire in Edmonton? How many did he fire in Detroit? Don't forget the two 2nd round picks for Mike Green who bar...

I'm assuming we lost the thread about the 2018 draft in the migration over to this board which is probably a good thing. I don't remember if I posted in there or not, but my hate for the Zadina pick probably wouldn't hold up if we were able to unearth that thread. I don’t think there was a single p...

It's no joke that I like Mrazek, or Athanasiou or Mursak or Pullkinen. But I joke about how ridiculous it is. That said, Mrazek wins that series. I don't understand why Carolina though Freddie Andersen was the answer. I wonder if its time to move on from Rod Brindamour. Mrazek wins that series - or...

Where’s Nill’s cup and place in the HOF?

Several Wings prospects are key contributors

AND Mike Richards, Happy Hudler and Jerid Stohl. Mike Richards gets a pass. Who wouldn’t snort coke off of Erin Andrews ass? Didn't know Richards was with her at one time. She's married to Jared Stoll now. I could have that wrong then. Wasn’t Stoll also on the Kings when they won the cup?

Colorado forward Nichushkin suspended for 6 months and put in the players drug program. Second time in less than a year. Left the team last year in the playoffs for "personal reasons". https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/colorado-avalanche-s-valeri-nichushkin-placed-in-stage-3-of-nhl-nhlpa-player-assi...

The Avalanche losing Valeri Nichushkin for the rest of the playoffs and into next season because of substance abuse is crazy. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I can't imagine it coming at a worse time for them considering he was tied with Zach Hyman at 9 goals for the most in the playoffs. Landeskog ...

I'm a little surprised Vancouver is leading Edmonton 2-1. Having said that, once again secondary scoring disappeared for Edmonton and it's the top line + Bouchard that generates all offense. Too early to get excited though -- McDavid/Draisaitl are over 2 points per game and can still turn this seri...

I think Letourneau will rise, but right now he is slated to go much later than 15. I fully support taking a big swing at him there. He has elite potential. I feel the same way about Hage. I like Chernysov, Basha & Ritchie a lot too. I don’t want Greentree, Jiricek or Helenius. Except for Eiserma...
