I’d love to get Lee, he’s a really good player

IDT there is a chance in Hell the Isles let Lee walk a summer after losing JT

The Sabres are in the market for a 2nd line Center. If only they had access to a 2nd line Center.....

I'm 37 and didn't realize it was a skate until this thread.

Honestly, me neither.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that knew it was a skate initially. On nhl radio today they mentioned that the nucks hired a psychologist or something like that to design this as like a mind f to the opposition

That's cool to know. You can kinda tell that was always their goal when you look at some of their uniforms throughout history... Anyway, I recognized it as a skate right away. Those Canadian mind tricks didn't work on a young Japam.

So the bus incident happened in 1995 then? Although tactless (especially during the Finals) it's not like Lemaire was warm and fuzzy in those days to anyone. Hardly a big deal now since Larry both came back to the Devils later on and worked with Lemaire again.

I actually forgot he was in St. Louis, I thought the Sharks were his retirement job?



Turns out it was Lemaire v1.0, which doesn't surprise me any more than Lou would have. Pete it would have shocked me if he pulled that with Larry. Especially as a first-year coach who'd done nothing in the league the year Larry was on his staff.

Lemaire 3.0 was so much fun. I guess he changed over the years, in a good way.

anybody still on the ‘buyout cory’ train? anyone?

If he didn't show any improvement that we saw toward the end of the season, he'd be on the "buyout" train.

I don’t see much of a reason to when we can platoon him and Blackwood to see if Mack can handle the load.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Not at all necessary. If we did, who is taking his place?

Plus, he was actually good the 2nd half of last season. If he can just be an average goalie, we will be fine.

i’m not advocating we do, i didn’t want it during the season and still don’t.

Phaneuf was bought out and will have a press conference in Newark at 3PM Monday to announce his 1 year deal with NJ.



That last part of sarcastic, probably.

Sounds more like a Lou kindve move.

 

[tr83]

LOL...remember when they signed him to that ridiculous contract AFTER he fell off a cliff while playing for the Isles

[Billdo]

Thankfully it isn't us.

 

[Ripshot 43]

Can someone compare this as if it were us? Like who do we have that compares to Kahun?

 

[OmNomNom]

Why do the Hawks add? Kahun is promising AND on an ELC, while maatta isn't showing much and has a signif cap hit. Is it bc he's a defenseman?

 

[Sgt Brylin]

Can someone compare this as if it were us? Like what level of a prospect did Pitt give up?

Not quite Bratt, but somewhere between Bratt and Bastian.

 

[OmNomNom]

Is there interest in phaneuf, now that he's bought out?

He will sign for cheap to a contender type team in need of a bottom pairing guy (iE the Lightning or some team like that). Definitely not us.

 

[ScottyK]

I remember Eklund's favorite rumor back in the day

Gionta for Dion. Not to be out done by the Gionta for Marleau rumors

 

[JrFischer54]

I’m on the give Seattle a 3rd rounder and let them take Cory team

 

[Billdo]

Kahun-a-Maatta, what a wonderful trade.
