and he is very smart in this decision

Agreed - the chances of him going to another team and taking them to the Stanley Cup are very small - no need to leave

You wonder if Darnell Nurse will be thrown into the Oilers lineup this upcoming season...I don't think he's ready for NHL fulltime duty, but unless the Oil go crazy in free agency, they may not have much choice.

No way the Oilers would ever push a young prospect into the line-up too early, only to ruin him.
oh, hello remnants of RNH's shoulder. I didn't see you over there.
Yakupov straight to the NHL you say? I'm sure that will work out.
Magnus Paajarvi? top 10 pick so overwhelmed he dropped his Svensson.

/I still have a dream of Tootoo playing on a line with Ruutu and Cheechoo...

I have a dream of never seeing that little shitnugget in the NHL again.

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Isles GM Garth Snow says he's now shopping Dan Boyle's rights, having been unable to sign the pending UFA defenseman...

will be very interesting to see what they can get for his rights.
what will the price of talking to him for a week be?

In fact, we should send every player with that kind of attitude there. They can change the name from the "Rangers' to the "Only Wanna Be Heres"

Like RJ Umberger? oh wait was already a Ranger but bitched out of playing a single game there as well.

I always wanted to see Recchi, Ricci, Richer, Reekie together and in Washington so Craig Laughlin would sprain his face and never speak again.

Is that Dreger the TSN reporter or Dreger the shill for MLSE?

I'm curious if they try to package him for the number one pick

I'll assume you mean Cody Franson and not Darren Dreger (lol)

they are #9 arent they?

Franson, their 1st round pick and another high prospect?

Darren Dreger, Florida's new correspondent

 

[Cobiemonster]

With all the departures in Ottawa, he's going to get a big opportunity - I think he might break out

Any deal involving the Leafs and Panthers would have to include Kadri, otherwise it won't happen - and I don't think the Leafs really have any high prospects to offer

Im not sold on Kadri for the 1st overall as of yet. hes only a 20 goal scorer and yes I understand hes only 23. That would be a gamble for Florida.

I think the Leafs will move Kadri at some point though, pretty clear that he and Carlyle have a pretty toxic relationship.

While we're discussing Leafs:

Arash Madani @ArashMadani
Interviewed Brian Burke tonight. "There have been no discussions between the Toronto Maple #Leafs and the Calgary Flames about Dion Phaneuf"

Arash Madani @ArashMadani
Burke: "It's not tampering to diffuse a rumour. It's tampering to talk about it, but I can tell you there have been no (talks) like that."

It wouldn't be Kadri for the 1st overall straight up, there would be more assets - like the rumors have been, Kadri, Gardiner and the 8th overall for the 1st overall is what some of the rumors have said

 

[Cobiemonster]

dash, can you unsticky the Survivor and Bracket Challenge Threads and sticky the NHL Draft thread? Thanks
