Green should have benched guds if he ever tried to make a pass that didnt involve the glass
Gudbranson is settling in on the bottom pairing with the return of Letang and Schultz.Ice time in the 16-17 min range. It’s a perfect place for him and the perfect team. Guy was a lightning rod here and way too much was expected of him. Curious if he will be able to stick around there for a couple years or if they’ll have to move salary around. He looks decent with that Petterson kid. It was never going to work here and it was a good move for the player and Vancouver.
Would be nice if the other to polarizing players can be fired out of a cannon this summer. No real use here for either Louis or Butter.

McCann - a loser in Florida. A winner in Pittsburgh
Schultz a loser in Edmonton a winner in Pittsburg
Kessel a loser in Toronto a winner in Pittsburgh
Bonino a loser in vancouver a winner in Pittsburgh
Winner winner chicken dinner
Imagine if you will a coaching staff that builds systems in which players can thrive. Such a novel concept
I wonder if having 2 of the games best forwards over the last decade might have something to do with bums on other teams becoming non-bums on Pittsburgh?
Clearly, but the coaching staff builds around them a system that almost any half decent hockey player can slot into and have success. Systems like that make a team greater than the sum of its component parts.
It's simple really. Armed forces all around the globe do the exact same thing. Any boot can sling lead down range, they just need competent leaders to show there where to do it.

So two top centers and two high scoring dmen = success for the rest of the team hey? hmmmmm, all the more reason to throw the Brink's truck at EK.
Having elite talent will enable the rest of your team to perform at optimal levels suited in a more depth like role.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Drew Doughty saying a lot of people in the league hate Matthew Tkachuk, they have no respect for him at all on or off the ice.
I mean Tkachuk does turtle out of fights after deliberately trying to injure someone or what not, just a shady dude.
Drew Doughty just teed off on Matthew Tkachuk, who he'll face tonight:
"No respect for him, none. I respect everyone else.
I’ll never talk to him off the ice. ... He’s not respected by most of the people in the league, it’s not just me – that’s just a fact."
We have heard the same things about dozens of players in the NHL over the past 20-30 years, Bobby Clarke, Ken Linseman, Dale Hunter and on and to Burrows, Kesler, Ott etc

Canes gonna lose prospect Adam Fox for nothing it appears.
Per multiple sources, Harvard junior D Adam Fox will return for senior season, opting not to sign with Carolina Hurricanes.
Favors becoming free agent next summer. Great news for Crimson and college hockey as a whole.
21 yrs old, right shot, 5.10lbs Weight 185lbs.
had 32gp. 9g, 39a, 48pts this season.
They have 10 months to deal him. He’s got 3/4 of a Harvard degree. He didn’t say he wouldn’t sign in Carolina. If they get nothing for him that’s poor asset management

Yeah unless his mind is made up already to join a NY team (where he's from) in which case those NY teams can just wait till he becomes a UFA to get him for nothing. Russian factor meets college/univ factor now.

Carolina is deep on D. He may just want to go somewhere were he has a better shot at making the NHL, sooner rather than later.
Maybe he wants to be scrutinized in a fishbowl like Vancouver while going through 5 umbrellas a year
