Yep there it is - Jimbro schtick in full effect! Can’t wait for Strange to chime in and say the exact same thing as you again!RoyalDude wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:28 amCause your grass is greener over there HF style Canuck hate is painful to read.Diehard1 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:25 amAnd here we go - take a statement that says nothing like that and run with it as per usual.

To think it only took 5 years to gain a ton of assets and become a contender again. Amazing what can be done when you commit to rebuilding.
It helps that you’re a city on Panarins radar. But let’s ignore that
You do also realize that Myers signing here is likely because he wanted to come to Vancouver right? He lives in Kelowna after all. Same with Benn. It works for all teams, not just NY.

Trouba - no. 1 defenceman. Kratsov! Fox!

Updated to show Vancouver. I guess Anaheim is top on the drop down menu and they forgot to update it!

Fantenberg acquired by Calgary at the TDD. Now a Canuck. Another Swede, lefty, one year deal, no terms yet.
Pouliot gone, Hutton gone, Schenn gone, cap crunch. Fantenberg it is.

I’m not sure how some people can’t see you can both rebuild and trade quality players away - in fact that’s the whole idea.

Dallas adds Zuc, Pavelski, and Sekera. They very well may start this season above average at forward, defense, and in goal. Yet they have a way of disappointing....

The Great Gustav Forsling was traded again in a minor whatevs trade. I missed this one. Blob how come you didn’t inform me. I see the great Michael Carcone (Leivo trade) was part of the Zaitsev package

Yep more of the same. Troll everyone to keep up the facade but do nothing when called out on it. He and his crew have been doing it for years.Reefer2 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:38 amHe is too chicken to take the bet.Diehard1 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 9:31 amStraight out of your playbook - make a statement then change the subject.

All good, back to talking free agents.
Re: Free agent FRENZY thread. July 1, 2019
Perry, too! Though far better odds Sekera bounces back than Perry....

Pavelski - 35 in July
Perry - 34
Sekera - Injury probe
We’ll see

Is Markus Granlund a top 6 forward with the Oilers?? Not even joking....

Right. They have a way of disappointing.
Pavelski's success has been about vision, a good release, and great hockey sense. His continued success will be all about his hands....
