Well I hope they don't have to, but if thu do, they'd damn we'll better start with Homer and Lavvy.

 

I'd say that's likely where it will begin.  Hope it doesn't come to that though.

I don't think anyone really knows at this point.  So many unknown variables.  If they come out of the first 10 games at better than .500, it could jumpstart something really good.  Less than .500 and people will start getting fired and traded and anything can happen then.

Think is has something to do with the stoppage last year, the subsequent uninspired season, the strange moves in the off season, Giroux's stupid injury after getting his big contract, the way the treated gagne, I don't know.

I'm trying to tell myself it's not because of how bad they look preseason because obviously that doesn't matter, but I'm still not in love with what Labvy's spraying... I dunno, just not sure...

I just have a really bad feeling about this year. God willing I'm just dead wrong.

If they don't have a fast start, they're going to blow it up by x-mas.

thinking about taking a drive.

Thanks Man, awesome.

I hope not. Nice Guy and had his day, but let's move on.

Good. Another retread out the door. Best of luck to him though.

Now, if we can just not re-sign Gagne we may be getting somewhere.

Clarkson would be a great fit if the price is right.

Then again, so would Horton. He had really good playoff numbers.

I didn't know he was asking $6 Mil. Haha, he's out of his mind. Yeah, then I pass too.

Maybe it's just me but I think Horton would be a much better fit than Vinny. We don't need another center. Horton is a tough, skilled RW, He would be a nice fit with G. Hopefully this Vinny thing is all smoke and Horton is the real target.

For that you better get #1.

pass

If they trade Mez AND Coburn, they better have some major talent lined up or they are in for a loooooooooong season.

I think he's a very good player, but still not quite A+ quality. I'd give him an A, sometimes A-. I'd see if I could sign him for 2-3 years as the highest paid Flyer, which would be what, 6.5 Mil?

If he grows into elite after that, then max him out.

I'm good with Mason. Much quicker and much more athletic than the B-word. I think he will be fine with a good team in front of him that wants to play for him.

I speculated a few months ago that this could happen? You could trade players/picks AND CASH to pay back the Preds investment. That's allowed isn't it?

I think they should seriously consider it. It's not often that a D'Man is the projected #1 pick. They should take a serious run at him. D'Men picked high in the draft typically turn out to be the real deal.

Jones will be in Denver. no way will they trade that pick and he wants to be there .. Second choice ?

Trade or offer sheet for someone.

@activestick

Our 1st and Claude Giroux sound pretty fair for Jones?

I know insanity right?

haha, Giroux is a bit much.

they are going to trade for the #1 pick and go after Jones.

RIght. Cause those guys have such a bad attitude.

I wouldn't say bad. Just not much of one.

I think Gagne has been consistent this season and I'd like to see him stay. I know the cap is going down next year so at the end of the day it might be a numbers game. At least he is willing to come back for less. What do you guys think?

Ba-Bye. New blood needed to change the attitude of this team. Gagne, Knuble, Fedotenko, c'mon.

I also agree. Mason is much more athletic and puts himself in better position to stop a rebound or second shot.

I think of Bryz as a one shot goalie. He is usually good for just one stop in a sequence. If he gives up a rebound, he typically is not athletic enough to get himself in position for a second shot.

Not sure they trade someone they paid $27 million over 12 months, but then again, if someone gives them a king's ransom, who knows.

I would think the right combination of pick/s, player/s and CASH would get it done. Cash deals are allowed if I remeber correctly.

Under league rules, is he eligible to be traded after this season?
