the best part about that is that the Devils have Boston's 2017 2nd from the Stempniak trade so it'd have to basically be in the 4 firsts range lol

 

Ducks hosting a prospects scrimmage at their practice rink next week. I'm so starved for hockey I'll take anything.

 

Murphy is Eklund-level.

But for shits and giggles, what is Trouba's deal? I get the impression that he has the tools to be a number one guy, but that he hasn't put it together. Confirm/deny?

 

I mean I'd be ok with letting go of 4 firsts if the last two years had gotten us Barzal, Connor, Debrincat, Chychrun, and Kylington. However.......

 

Not having a first for 4 years seems terrible.

Maybe NYR fans can share with us what that's like?

 

I typically go to the Sharks prospect games every year to see the baby sharks and visit some friends.

This year the sharks decided to move it to a smaller venue and all the sharks season ticket holders get first shot at tickets. It bums me out but there wasn't much prospects I haven't seen already.

 

Swoos is out here looking for blood.

 

Smack talk is all well and good, but you simply crossed a line. I hope the person you love most smothers you to death in your sleep tonight, you human dumpster fire.

Anywho, Andy Strickland (Blues guy) says Shatty is only willing to sign an extension with 4 teams.

 

It's great look at all our cups.

Kill me.

 

Please don't go the Perds Ladd. Montreal has the potential to become the new Florida for ex-Hawks.

 

Goddamn it. Bruins made an offer to Jacob Trouba. FUCK.

 

I thought they can't make it until Friday?

 

the Bruins don't have their own 2nd/3rd round picks for 2017, which means the only offer they can make is ~$9.1 million or above (for 4 1sts)

that isn't happening

 

Its probably unofficial, maybe he did but that doesn't mean its final

 

Do it, Boston.

 

I like Trouba a lot but not at either cost. Hope Boston is dumb enough to pull it off

 

I'd take Hartnell if they retained.

 

interesting that that comes out right before this:

 

Poor guy, should've tried to jump ship when he had the chance

 

Huh?

 

holy crap what a steal

 

Wow. What a deal.

 

Sweet news for Yzerman and the upcoming Hedman extension
