Exactly. :D

And if Carolina doesn't buyout Eddie, we make them retain on the salary. :twisted:

FFE ESQ those guys ( Gudbranson and Grit & Balls ) were fucking cap dumps. Only Elmer came calling when they were offered around the league. Sutter = Bonino at best. Clendenning was garbage. Pitt should have given Elmer a 3rd for taking the higher salary player who was BY NO MEANS better than Bonino. Elmer felt the need to piss away a pick. Gudbranson is an overpaid #5 who was on a team on a strict budget.Mccan who was a good prospect and a 4th gets that deal done but Elmer had to crap out a HIGH 2nd in a good draft.

I've given credit when the guy makes good moves but you inbreds are unwilling to even think he has overpaid MULTIPLE FUCKING TIMES.

Lmao at the inbred fest here . You guys are as bad as Bingo and his mongoes

There's been little to no discussion about Rodin. If healthy, I wonder if he'll make the team next year? If he can pick up where he left off overseas he could be a real keeper! Dahlen Petterson Rodin anyone?

I'd like to see Rodin back. When he could play, he impressed.

Been told the #Canucks are still talking with UFA F Anton Rodin about a new deal. Free agency just 3 days away.

Thanks, TDA.

Sure hope that they can sign him. Still feel like we haven't actually got to see what he is capable of with that injury last year. Would be quite a shame if he turned out to be a legit NHL capable player (out of the few drafted by Gillis) and he went to another team for nothing.

Boy, Trev and JB sure luv their shimps/dinky forwards. So they're talking with Rodin to bring him back, but they're talking to Jordan Weal and Sam Gagner as well. :cry:

I cannot believe the support in this town on bringing back that smiley-faced goof Lack back.
Worst choice available. Has too good a friendship with Markstrom.
Isn't very talented.
Breaks down easily.
What, keep the room laughing? Right, I'm laughing. (not really).
I'm sorry to see Miller go, if that's what happens. Smart guy, a lot of wisdom.

Don't hold onto hopes that Rodin is going to become something. Not going to happen.

I also would never be penciling in Pedan on any starting line-up rosters.
He is a career minor league player and always will be. Maybe good for an emergency call-up when decimated
with injuries.

Don't involve Granlund in any trades, please! His career is on what I call, the quick rise, and IMO, could be the biggest surprise to most this coming season. I predict 60 plus points.

Would love to see it but don't think it's plausible. That would take an almost 100% increase in production on an already respectable 32points. IIRC He was playing a decent amount with Bo Baer and the Sedins, at least during the latter part the season. At his size I think banking on him playing around the same number of games is a safe bet. So I don't see where such a drastic upswing comes from especially if Boeser starts eating up primetime wing minutes. For me, a modest increase from .46ppg to get to the 40 point mark and chiselling down that -19 would be huge for him.

Genius dealt Eddie Lack for a 3rd and a 7th. The worst goalie in the league according to Canes coach

Genius dealt Gillis 2013 first round pick - Shrinkcarrot for Granlund (scored 20 goals with a broken wrist)

Rodin deserve a proper shot, don't mind Weal. Gagner no

It's called, hockey insight, big fella.
If I recall, you like to make bets :idea:

At least that would be more entertaining, to myself, than trying to explain my methodology in predicting
a player's commodities he will be delivering.
