I saw Chevy was nominated for GM of the Year?

Only because Pontiac retired.

I fear it will be very hard to Dodge the puns that are coming.

Yugo your way and I'll go mine.

I heard a possible Seattle team are kicking the tires on many GM's and have even talked to former Nordiques goalie Brian Ford about the position.

Seriously though, Mcphee will win that award. The success that Vegas team had this year he should win it outright.

I like that commercial better than the ones where they talk about growing up playing hockey.

John Carlson, "Growing up, my favorite sport was hockey"... no shit.

Just rumours at this point but canucks twitter is buzzing its Juolevi lol

 

[jstewismybastardson]

True lol

I'll go off the board with Max Jones.

Then again, I don't know if Anaheim are considered a "prominent team" like Marek said so...

Funny how every team is claiming this one. Jackets fans are convinced it's Abramov.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Luckily I don't think the Devils qualify as a "very prominent team".

Canucks are a very prominently bad team

 

[esls79]

Ducks don't qualify as either. I'd bet their head coach doesn't even know what a video game is.

come on now !!! ... Carlyle just recently set his new high score in toaster

I am going to guess at Michael Dal Colle. I suppose some might call the Islanders "prominent". Well they were 35 years ago.

 

[sbb122]

Alex Nylander?

Neither plays in junior anymore.

 

[puckhead]

random guess... one of the schmucks Boston picked instead of Barzal
just because it would make it that much funnier.

I didn’t read that the player is currently in Junior. Esp when the source says his info is a year old

From the snippet on Deadspin:

"to the point where his junior general manager told me that they’ve had him go to counseling over it"

But I guess if it is 6 month to a year old information he may have ascended the ranks since, although isn't the point of the anecdote to say this player has stagnated thanks to his addiction? Seems like graduating to the A would be weird if he was struggling in Jr. (although we are talking about the Sabres and Isles lol).

Not that he gave an exact time frame but Marek did say he was a recent first round pick. The Barzal draft was 3 years ago now and all of the Boston 3 are now either in the A or the big team (DeBrusk).
