That Hjarmarsson trade is a real head scratcher...

Don't worry. Toews' leadership will make up for any losses

8 yrs 46M for Oshie to stay in Washington. LOL

5.75 for Oshie - not bad
8 yeas for Oshie - even Orpik doesn't have the worst contract now

Aside from dealing with cheap/head shots, the commish runs the league well. I also love that he mocks the (idiotic) boos.

So Patrick charts out as a Backstrom style C?

His favorite musician is Neil Young.

I'd rather be drafted by Philly over going to the black hole of civilization, Newark, NJ.

Postby **Gaucho** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 8:13 pm

Is it me or is this the least anticipated draft in recent memory?

Postby **Gaucho** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 8:26 pm

The Sabres and Casey Mittelstadt were made for each other.

Tyler Wright is chief scout for the Red Wings. Huh.

And how is a player that gets picked 9th overall a "sleeper", Pierre?

Matthew Strome has one of those punchable faces the Flyers love so much.

Trotz heaping praise on the Pens on NHL Network. "Is there anything you could have done differently?" - "No."

Pens found a way, winning pedigree, Crosby, strong organization, Crosby, they were banged up, we banged them up, Crosby.
