On a side note; I'm all for the rock-star look with long hair. Mine is still that way as it has been since I was 13.

I smell a stealth skullet

You think Gomer is rocking a Robert Pickton type skullet?

Oh wow; that's too nasty not to expect severe comeuppance.

Is the uppance coming up next? Or were you just wanting to use the word?

Now that was a glory skullet.

Skyo's checked out of this thread because we finally have his PPQB, he doesn't have any more fantasies or pipe dreams

[Carl Yagro]

Very astute observation ESQ.

Skyo’s fantasies and pipe dreams come true. Now there is nothing left...


He gone.

[5thhorseman]

He's passed out on the couch after injecting a needle full of Hughes. Oh, the ecstasy.

He will soon come to realize..... you always chase that first hit.... he won’t be able to leave let alone stop

He out in his yard wondering where all these derelict cars came from

SKYO could be planning new trade strategies

Sutter for Cizikkkas.

Canucks Army with an interesting trade proposal.

Trade Proposal
To #Canucks: Mayfield, Martin, Ho-Sang
To Islanders: Sutter, Stecher, 3rd Round Pick, Goldobin

I think I'd do this deal. We get a hulking RS D-man to play on the 3rd pairing. Martin prob won't play much, but would be nice to have a goon going into playoffs to take care of cheapshots from guys like EK. Ho-Sang and Golds both could prob use a change in scenery.

Good for the playoffs for sure, but I'd really miss Stecher's speed and puck handling skills.

If anything Mayfield replacing Tanev would be better (they currently play the same TOI minutes) and Mayfield has shown he can play well with a mobile puck rusher LD Devon Toews.

NYI gets Tanev a steady RD for their playoff run and can be let go after this season. And NYI more importantly has to shed to cap to pay bajillions for Barzal and Pulock both RFA's.

I know they'd prefer to move Boychuk but he has an atrocious contract and is injured quite a bit.
Pelech LD btw is done for the season - so they rollin with this now:

current:
Leddy - Pulock
Toews - Mayfield
Dobson - Boychuk

after trade:
Leddy - Pulock
Toews - Tanev
Dobson - Boychuk

So the trade ends up being:

To NYI: Sutter 4.375 + Tanev 50% (2.225) TOTAL $6.6M
To VAN: Mayfield 1.45 + Martin 2.5 + (2.225 retain) TOTAL $6.175M

NYI top 9 is more balanced, moving Brass to RW.
Lee Barzal Eberle
Beauvillier Nelson Bailey
Kuhnhackl Sutter Brassard


Canucks defense just is ready for a more longer tenure as Tanev is an unknown to return or not.
Edler Myers
Hughes Mayfield
Fantenberg Stecher
Benn

Now that's a solid hockey deal.

[Cousin Strawberry]

The only way I do that trade is if Jimmy knows Tanev is gone for sure.

Tanev is more than a contract, hes Hughes mentor. I hang onto Tanman

Last night when Beagle went down the team didnt skip a beat with Sutter taking that seat. I'm hanging onto BS as well

What would be better is adding Mayfield instead of Stetcher without removing those 2 key pieces on what is proving to be a very good young team.

I noticed that too. The other centres actually got to play.

Yeah, I like being strong down the middle too. I just think priorities in building a strong team are:

D-men > Centres > Wingers

I think Mayfield would really help solidify our D-core; I'd luv to have a big strong defense in the mold of St. Louis going into the playoffs. On the other hand, we do have a few D-men in the system who look like they could challenge for some ice time sooner than later (ie: Rafferty, Tryamkin, Juolevi); however, while we are pretty strong @ centre with our big club, we don't really have any centres in the system. There's Graovac I guess, but not sure he's a long term guy or a guy that's going to excel in the playoffs. I know MacEwen played centre in juniors, but mgmt seems to project him as a winger. We do have lots of up and coming wingers in the system though (ie: Poddy, Hoggy, Lind, Gadjovich, Bailey, Boucher, Baert, Golds, etc)
