Prospect Info: Shane Bowers - C [via trade with Ottawa Senators]

[Ararana]

Sure doesn't sound like a guy that's about to leaving after his contract is over...

You better delete this before Hench sees it.

 

[cgf]

If MacK didn't (naively) have hope now, he wouldn't end up so disappointed when it came time to re-sign him

 

[Foppberg]

nah, love Hench and appreciate his insights but I just can't get on board with his mindset when it comes to Mack long term. If you have a star player and you don't win, there's a decent chance he leaves unless he's an Iginla aka loyal AF. that's universal for all teams and sports, no sense in stressing about it when it's still years away.

I'm pretty sure if we don't win a round this year he's going to realize this team is going nowhere and ask for a trade

I'm sure he understands that this team will likely be a lot better next year regardless of any playoff success.

I know it was a jest @cgf

I'm excited to see what sort of team Sakic will put on the ice next season.

 

[Raucherhusten]

Fantabulous timing. Likely to be a substantial enhancement to the Eagles for an end of season effort

Now you are just making stuff up.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Ok now that the Eagles are getting a center can we have Toni back for our fourth line now?

 

[cgf]

I'm pretty sure if we don't win a round this year he's going to realize this team is going nowhere and ask for a trade

Nah, that'll be after next year.

I was checking Bowers' contract on Cap Friendly and saw they have him listed as 6' 0" and 170 pounds where Elite Prospects has him at 6' 2" and 187 pounds. At the risk of being called a size queen, I hope Elite Prospects is correct.

6-2 188 from BU roster. Should be the most current

 

[Barklez]

Pretty sure he was 6+ at the draft combine.

That’s what he wants you to think.

[Bubba Thudd]

That's the Shotgun Willie's parking lot...

 

[Pokecheque]

That's the Shotgun Willie's parking lot...

Tyler Arnason must be nearby then

Tyler Arnason must be nearby then

Who was driven by Kevin Porter.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Neither of those guys would be driving away, though.

 

[cgf]

Neither of those guys would be driving away, though.

Yeah, those two aren't leaving the SOB-suite...

Is this the new concussion prevention protocol, wear helmets at all times?

Wait until they make Cale Makar walk around wrapped in bubble tape.

 

[Avs_19]

Bowers was about to slam that thing shut. I'm curious which prospect's car that is and if they own it.

That's a nice car for an AHLer.

 

[The Abusement Park]

That's a nice car for an AHLer.

My guess would be Barberio. He's making a lot of money and in Loveland currently.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

That's a nice car for an AHLer.

What car is it? I can't tell from the photo.
