A Kessel signing would turn this offseason from a C to an A+ for me.

It would turn...my stomach.

 

Please, no. Let that nightmare dream die.

By all accounts, Marchand is a fantastic teammate and players love playing with him. He's only really a guy you hate when he's not on your team.

This, big Z will flourish in boston, same with elias ...they got alot better today. from what i read and heard jake was a cry baby alot, and was very inconsistent, and now we have him, if rick cant fix him, no one can lol

What did you know about Joshua before we snagged him?

 

Probably not much, right?

 

Just because WE don't know doesn't mean the guys paid to know don't.

 

Excellent point! Nice one.

 

That's exactly what needs to be said.

Exactly. These aren't bad signings at all. Should be more consistent and reliable.

 

We need to sure up our D.

We've added sandpaper throughout the forward group.  It'll be good come playoff time.  

 

Like you said, our D needs one more strong addition.

Debrusk is particularly strong in the playoffs too.

honestly, don’t feel I have a good enough read on Him. I just wanted Big Z to stay. Seems our team has taken a half step back from the playoffs last year

Might as well dustoff Messier while we're at it ...

[Canuck You]

Listen Children, No one said we had to put together our team in 1 day.

I was suggesting that if we're planning on keeping Boeser, start negoiating now.

If he's not sure about about extending then be prepared to trade him on or before the TDL.

 

  

Yea good plan I see now.

Maybe Ratboy will get under Zads skin. And he won't be so eager to defend him.

 

[Gurn]

3rd pair D looks really, really bad for Canucks.

Hope they get that fixed with the $3-4 mill they have left.

You know the rules.

We are NEVER to speak of that name again.

[kilgore]

The number 1 signing I wanted was big Z. $&”@¥%#$&!

 And he’s now a Bruin?  &$#%£¥$&@&$&@%+*%€?!!

 

 What he brings (or brought) was intangible. That is a player who will always play above his pay grade, in the playoffs, where it counts. He’s worth even more than 5 mill . A special kind of player. I’d take him over Soucy . Boston wins again. &$@%#. My opinion of Allvin took a hit. 
 

i just had to vent there. Carry on

Inconsistent and "crying" are two different things.

 

Many players are inconsistent.

[BPA]

Hopefully some prospects impress at camp and make the jump to the NHL.  It’ll go a long way with adding cheap ELC to the salary cap.

The only way we want someone as old as Kessel is if it's a Zombie that just eats the other team...

Here's what I've learned.

 

Wow factor only takes you so far. Oilers have wow factor in the best player in the world....yet.....

 

It's all about work ethic, buy in/structure/coaching, chemistry, overall team health and yes....skill and physicality. Key players can't just get it done on their own so it's about balance and we've seen (Petey) how top paid players can struggle and it's no guarantee. So the best plan is make a well rounded team as much as $$ permits.

 

We seem to want a big splash yet players will have peaks and valleys...it's about hitting it at the right time. Luck's involved in that too.

 

I've learned that all the eggs in one (or two) baskets isn't necessarily the key to success. 

 

Players that want to be here and have faith in this team and what they're doing. JT Miller types.

Yeah but always expecting guys to over perform gets you a lottery ticket.

 

The center depth is awful as is our D 

we added more middle wingers and a d that played 35 games last season

there’s big splash, and splash

we made ripples.

Relax, guys! Phil the thrill is still available.

well he seemed to cry alot in boston, so shrug...and yes he is very inconsistent, but i know alvin lost the palyers he wanted, so he as the bext best thing, only time will tell if the rumors are true and how well he works with rick

Exactly. Addressing our needs in the forwards. 

 

I'm confident we'll get that Dman.

[WHL rocks]

Sign Skinner to under $3 mill and wereset at forward..he's a pure goal scorer. Would be great with EP40

Could've been worse.... the Leafs could've signed Z along with Tanev
