And why the heck wouldn't they?

My bad, here I thought it was a loaded question.

Yeah, it causes me to be a loose cannon sometimes, and I end up going off half-cocked.

I friggin hate when teams do that ! They hire a dollar chaser and decide he needs a letter. Isn't an A or a C symbolic of a guy who is all in , and all team ? Iggy was a great Flame , but since then all he is is a gun for hire.

The A is meaningless. People put stock into things that don't matter.

LOL IPW, looks like you're firing blanks...right over his head.

I didn't want to say it, but we were all thinking it.

I was surprised you all left it on the table for me.

It's only preseason and these two are doing this. Gonna be a fun team to watch.

As much as I liked Gabby and wish we could have made it work, I can't think of a better fit for him than alongside Kopitar. Hard not to like those two.

If the Avs win the Cup with Iggy on the roster, based on their history, it's a fait accompli. And just like the previous occasion, I would take real issue with it.

Becomes a lot easier to hate when Dustin Brown shows up for the celebration.

There's a good chance the Coyotes will be in the hunt for McDavid this season.

Really ?

Every 2nd Player on the Oil was sporting an A last year - that worked well

Could be worse. The C in Buffalo the last couple years was a guarantee of getting traded.

Then again, maybe that wasn't such a bad thing for those guys.

I think your Sabres will be a bit more then the coolest logo in the league this year. They could well be the lower tier team of last season that takes the biggest strides upward this year.

Can I assume you're referring to this:

Right behind the Leafs.

You're far more optimistic than I am.

I expect another year of strong competition for the #1 overall pick. This is a team that doesn't even have a starting goaltender anymore, which was the only thing that kept them even remotely in games last season. They were only 25th worst in GA/G and within 10% of the 16th place team. But GF/G; 30th by a WIDE margin. A full 25% behind the 29th scoring team.
