If i'm not mistaken everyone there except for Boumedienne once played for the organization.

Going the Oilers route is an interesting team development strategy.
The good thing is the ones (except Nash) coming back are all guys who had to scrap to make it in the show. The kind of guys you want helping guide the young guys we have who are all mid/high prospects. Foudy and Bemstrom have the tools to be great. They just need to be pushed to get there. Not like we're bringing back MacTavish and Lowe who will just sit in their office reflecting on their glory days and get pissed off when everyone else can't achieve it.

Plus as GoBucks says having guys who made themselves fan favorites teaching the young guys to love it here can't hurt.

I fully expect Kukan or Robinson to be the ones to go. I'd rather protect Nyquist. Even at 85% he's way better than Robinson at 100. Robinson was basically free (signed out of college after being undrafted). I think it's unlikely that they take Matiss, although his performance at the worlds might raise some eyebrows. His NHL record isn't all that attractive.

Plus with the focus on player development that the org is showing, having a few vets around to model how to behave will be good. Gotta keep Gus, IMO

Mike D trying to ensure his re-election among tOSU fans.

It's stupid that it took this long, honestly. Colleges make stupid money on these kids and they get nothing, leading them to put themselves in bad sports under bad influences. Put it all above board.

First of all, fuck the petty bitches in the legislature for not putting it through Friday. Second, it'll be moot once the NCAA pushes through new rules this week. Thirdly, OSU cold have just thrown the bird to everyone and "allowed" it anyway. It's not against actual laws to profit off your likeness. It's a dumbass NCAA rule, and they wouldn't have done anything.

You know how I know that is not a legitimate offer? It hasn't been accepted yet.

I couldn't say yes fast enough.

We appear to be hoarding bald French Canadian coaches. I think this is a clear sign we are trading for Alexis Lafreniere.


If this team trades Elvis, it will be a travesty.
Haha....
An adrenaline junky, Elvis does read about what he can and can't do, per his contracts. In Lugano, he wanted to go skiing one winter so he looked at his deal. "There were five things (I couldn't do), three I already did. I was like, why not do the fourth one? So I went skiing."
