OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

All I care about is Sid. If he isn't right it doesn't matter who is signed


Sigh, conference could be a beast next year

 

Winnipeg needs (most of this is based on scouting reports because I've actually never seen a former-Thrashers game )

-a team name, hopefully the Jets
-a head coach, Craig Ramsey has been told he will not be returning
-lock up Andrew Ladd to a long-term contract

-a top line centre, our best centre right now is Nik Antropov
-depth, because right now we have very few good prospects

Although one good thing is we have a lot of cap room, I think only Florida has more than we do

 

jewsee...i actually think we re-sign kaberle. his 11 points in very limited ice time during the playoffs didn't go unnoticed. and the GM has a hard on for him as well. just depends if he's willing to take a pay cut

as far as savy...i can't call him soft. short term memory loss is no joke. it's not like he's symptom free and choosing to sit out. he couldnt even make a flight to VAN due to headaches and dizziness...months removed from playing. but yeah, don't see him coming back as you said.

That is crazy, who fit the bill for that?  
That Ryan Smyth article came as a bit of a surprise, seeing as he's enjoyed playing with L.A. and the guys around him.  At 35, a reunion to Edmonton would seem a little too late no?

kinda rough to call savvy soft... brain injuries arent like a knee or something. hes on like concussion #4 i think. i watched an interview pre parade with him and he looked awful. pale, big circles under his eyes... hes done imo, although i would love nothing more than for him to return to 80% of what he was.

marshmont resigning is a foregone conclussion, just wonder how much hes gonna get. we def. overpaid for bergy at the time but it panned out IMO, kinda jumped the gun on lucic but he produced huge til he hurt his foot.

i would rather ryder for 2.5-3 mil than kaberle. i think kampfer can fill that spot. if we let him go, then use some of the money on a top 4 D-man, and the rest on a piece to slide in the 2nd/3rd center role. i honestly think the team is perfect minus maybe one mid-level goal scorer.

take away kaberle OR ryder, keeping the other, then take away savvy and recchi, assume marchand gets like 3 mil, bruins would have like 13 mil to spend if im doing everything right...

that bar bill the 100k was a 30L bottle of ace of spades, the stuff cuban bought for the mavs, but it was twice the size of that one. bruins out doing the billionaire loon. they HAD to be buying for others in the bar, there was only 6 of them. wish i was there. but who bought a heineken light? cmon boys..

The Rangers absolutely need to stay away from Brad Richards.... I want no part of giving this guy 7.5m/per for 8 years.... The guy is a damn good center which the Rangers need but he is going to be grossly overpaid.

What I wanna see for the Flames:
Sign Tanguay
#1 Center, although Backlund looked good near the end with Tanguay-Iginla.
Lose/buy out contracts. Sorry Langkow
Draft Zach Phillips, Sven Bartsci or Nathan Beaulieu in the first round. I prefer Zach Phillips.
Draft Kucherov, a Gibson, Catenacci, Sproul, or Prince in the 2nd.
Somehow stop losing prospects, although Flames prospect pool is pathetic.
and whatever that article posted above said earlier about trading Regehr for Green. Sure do it lol


EDIT:
I would also like Kariya to re-sign cheap for the Ducks and one last run with Selanne. Kariya-Koivu-Selanne
