Is Toronto really much better in that regard? They're both flight distance rather than driving distance, and with the Detroit flight at least there's no border crossing.

Why do I have this horrible feeling he's going to end up on the Rags?!!?

All true, but we have hot dogs !!

That won't be so bad, it will only be for a couple of games a month and he should know around when those games are going to be.

Oh, the Rangers...

So where did he go to school again? Where is Pierre when you need him....Oh yeah doing water polo.

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure I've never really felt like I needed Pierre.

I'd be OK if he wanted to stick with water polo.

Clearly geography was not a factor (CHI).
Interesting that BUF is not on the list
No idea what his priorities really are, if he wants to win soon it will be either PIT or CHI

I would guess that's just because he's been meeting with them all along.

Isles have to be a long shot but they need a top 6 winger. He'd go right up to the first line on the Isles. JT gave his pitch to him, hopefully it worked.

I think it's kinda weird that so many teams are hoping to use a 23 year old college player that was drafted in the 3rd round as a top line player.

Not only that, but his Harvard mouth is going to go over swell in the dressing room.

/Just like Harvard_Oiler was a swell guy at the swamp.

I can give you 410 reasons why this is probably a sarcastic post.

I guess the consensus is he's a top 6, NHL ready player. We just lost two top 6 players and only added 1 back. I'll take em!

Seeing as how the Red Wings want a "top 4" D man, love older guys and could use a local boy to help sell the new arena, I propose Jack Johnson for Gus. He is a top 4 defenseman on this team.


Still only leaves a real top line center as a hole.

Does Columbus really need another 40 pt scorer making almost $5 mil/yr?

It's a step forward from a 3 point scorer making 6m.

Yeah but that was filling a need for a $6 mil 3 pt scorer. Y'all have three $5 mil 40 point scorers already.

/Maybe the Wings will throw in Abdelkader

Anklebiter? No way. Not a Torts guy.

GREEN better be coming this way.

Here's a picture of Portzline moments after sending that tweet:

Some of the Kool Aid drinkers are starting to discuss who the Jackets will have to dump when Vesey signs here.

Are you kidding? All I heard when the Wings re-signed him was that he "played with heart", had "grit" and was a "leader in the room"! Also, he once had 40 pts (now twice).
