So who will you be using now to slag Benning over his Virtanen pick now that your two go-to’s have proven to be a couple of overpaid soft as butter tough hockey no-shows? Larkin?

Virtanen wasn’t the correct pick but I haven’t hacked on him in years. You bitch about him more than I do.

Ehlers and Nylander regardless of whether I like them or not would have been better selections. They hold more value and produce twice the points Virtanen does.

10.2 million William - 7 goals 54 games. Playoffs - 1 goal 7 games. Made $10.2 Million in a shortened season. Ehlers $6 Million per season 0 goals 21 playoff games!

He has no other, I was wrong when I called him a yo-yo.

Rumours are Ken Holland might be the GM of the Oilers. :o
Is Ken Holland going to be named the next general manager of the Edmonton Oilers? According to Rod Pedersen, who is better known for having his finger on the pulse of the CFL than on what’s happening in NHL hockey rinks and front offices, Holland’s the man.
Rod Pedersen:
The next GM of the Edmonton Oilers will be Ken Holland.

Oiler fans want Nicholson fired if he does that.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Canes traded Adam Fox to the NYR.
Luke DeCock:
Sorry, unclear: Looks like Hurricanes have a trade done with Adam Fox.

Elliotte Friedman:
He is going to NYR
Brooksie:
"Rangers have acquired rights to Adam Fox for NYR own second rounder this year and conditional third next."
