Nah Gurianov is a really fast skater and he's gotten better at backchecking. Neal is just slow as f*** . Worse than Perry was in his first couple of games here.

Sure you only play 4 on 5 on defense too while he's on the ice. Guy is a complete liability outside the powerplay .
Glad to see Yandle off the market.
If we don’t land Suter Nill can’t knee-jerk into a worse player now

I sympathize with McCrimmon and him saying the news got out before he could contact Flower, but this BS about him justifying the process and saying he kept Flower in the loop on everything looks bad. Even if it's true, don't get in a pissing contest with the face of your franchise (the agent is clearly speaking for MAF) in the media. If he feels like he got jobbed, just don't say anything. You didn't do anything wrong, but you also have to accept the consequences if other players aren't thrilled with your cut-throat business approach.
Hockey is a business. No one is going to fault you in the league for trying to be the best team. Fans are going to get pissed no matter what so there's not a ton you can do about that, and frankly, the majority of fans are knobs and would rather have a bad team than lose a guy they like. Now, that's not the case with Flower. I was more thinking of Dallas fans and players like Morrow (at the end of his career), Ott, and Roussel where there was significant whinging and gnashing of teeth.

Those better both be buriable contract . Virtanen still has his legal process going and he never took hockey serious in the first place and more than likely is 50 pounds overweight right now and blackout drunk somewhere.
D'Angelo is the kind of guy who will Brind'Amour gets into a fight with because he doesn't take responsibility for his mistakes.

Damn, between this and paying two 2nd rounders for Dillon, who knew the Stars had so many great defensemen, shouldn't have let them both go.

AT this point if I'm Vegas I just offersheet Petersson and see what happens. If you need a high end center, do the unspeakable, screw over a cap strapped team like Vancouver.
i'll take, 'f***ing horseshit, or, things your organization shouldn't do for $500, alex'
