OH MAMA DONT YOU CRY

USA HOCKEY IS DO OR DIE

Let me leave my avatar right here!

I’m reading that Wennberg and Duclair are practicing in Florida PP1 unit. Yikes

Wennberg is going to have a good year

Wennberg is going to have a good year

Depends on the definition of good — but yes I think the change of scenery will serve him well.

Loui Eriksson, Sven Baertschi and Matthew Perreault waived, I wonder if there's any interest from Jarmo. I could see Perreault for some center depth?

Tyler Johnson too

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Tyler Johnson would be ideal. Weakens a divisional opponent and doesn’t necessarily free them from their cap issues since it’s already been figured out. Would also adequately slot Koivu onto the 4th line and allows us to actually have some scoring depth.

Grigorenko-Dubois-Bjorkstrand
Foligno-Domi-Atkinson
Texier-Johnson-Bemstrom
Jenner-Koivu/Nash/Stenlund/Robinson

I'd be absolutely shocked if we added $5 million to the payroll 3 days before the season started.

 

[ViD]

If Johnson was UFA at the end of the year I would be cool with us getting him, but for 3 more years ? Nah

Beat me to it. The term makes it unpalatable.

None of those players are good anymore. Perreault is so dinged up, believe me that Winnipeg would be thrilled if the Jackets plucked him off waivers. They have less depth than the Jackets, too.

Tampa would also love for us to take Tyler Johnson. It doesn't weaken them at all. It gives them $5m in cap space that they can go out and use to get another player that helps them a lot more than Tyler Johnson does. Not hard to do, he's not the same as he used to be.

Goal, Josh Anderson

That was a nice shot

pretty good player

No worries, Domi will be fired up to prove he is just as good tomorrow

 

[DJA]

We’re gonna have to get used to “our guys” leaving and doing good elsewhere. It’ll happen a lot.

I could never foster animals for months just to have them live in another home.

There’s a decent chance Anderson can top his last season goal total now

Also getting power play minutes

i hope so. That trade still leaves me bitter though

The trade is what it is. I'm bitter that we are now establishing the trend that the young players we develop want to move on to somewhere else. I'm not paying for NHL season tickets to be an AHL+ team for the rest of the league.

Anderson wanted to be here

Anderson wanted to be here

I'm not sure I buy that.

Anderson with a horrible second period
