We got that in Dach? Maybe, big C anyway

Boggled how anyone could even suggest trading our top prospect during a rebuild. That would be beyond stupidity.

Happy to have memories of watching him live, as a Hab and as a Nordique. My brothers first NHL game. Simply the best of his era. RIP Guy.

We're #1. Lol.

Lagesson fills a jersey and bench spot while helping us lose out. Great pickup. 2nd in 2023 for Kulak is fair value.

I heard it is not done as Allen is part of the trade...

I remember that post. I hoped we stopped drafting shoe in bottom 6 forwards at that point and preferred shooting for the moon with a high risk reward type. Now, we need to plug those bottom 6 holes. Good addition. We are back on track I believe. Aging Price get his cup here? God I hope so. He deserves it. Window closing though. Got to be realistic.

OK. Stop winning now, we can't make the playoffs so worst is best. Should have kept Ducharme or made the move months ago. Hope we trade away enough to stay in last and do it soon.

The ducks is the 2023 pick I would target, they could easily miss next year and when the balls drop you never know. Most likely to fall in the standing imo.

But alas nobody know who holds that now, which is why it is worth getting as many cards from the deck as you can. Actually if our cards are played right, 1st next year's is ours anyway and we are trying to scam 2nd overall from someone. Could you imagine? Bedard Michkov Wright Suzuki. OK, dreaming but not totally impossible. Please suck just as hard next year.

I would have a presser saying I will continue to talk to my players not planning to finish last 2 years in a row, while actually planning to do just that. You can't say we plan to suck and tank again next year for a top pick. I do believe and hope that is the plan. Please suck next year. Please!

I have it from a source that tends to be dead on that we hosed them because Heinemam is going to be a stud. Hope he proves to be right as always. Personally, I am now cheering for a collapse in Calgary so this pick becomes next years. Not likely but that is my hope.

Am I ever glad to be back on my ship missing all the fun. Please Montreal, don't too burgers at this putz.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, did Lemaire have any coaching experience before entering Nhl? Nope. Not all Nhl players who move into that role are failures. He could be a good coach, probably will be successful, somewhere else.

Well, IMHO, we need to keep DD and hope for a simular result. Bedard or Michkov will make us contenders for years to come. Sell everyone you can this year for 2023 picks. We have a top pick coming this year, that is enough from this year's pool. Next year is a much better class.

My favourite of the top candidates. Now let's stock up on 1st round picks for 2023. We've endured the pain and have a good shot at Shane. Time to suck hard for Bedard. He is generational. I really want a full sell-off and 1 more year of being near the bottom. If we do get Wright, keep him in juniors another year. We have a chance to build a real contender for years to come if we managed back to back first overalls.

Well all reports are that he did and is still receiving treatment as you refer to it, guidance is a proper term. You are approaching bullying with your online attacks of him. Maybe some treatment is needed? Let's just let the kid play hockey and if he lives his without further incident assume it was a one time mistake. The world has gotten over it, he did his time, owned up to his mistake, yes mistake. Sometimes when kids break a law it is a mistake and they learn from it. Stop being so grumpy. It bores me. Online bullying is a crime by the way. Incase you were not aware. Continually throw up what he did on the teams site is a form of bullying. Stop it.

Great game. 1 step closer to 1st overall pick. Maintain the pain, I want Shane! Could say we are doing everything Wright.

Savard has proven useful in playoffs. Too bad he has such a bad contract or he could have been an asset. Dvorak could also be of interest to a playoff team. The biggest playoff asset we have when healthy is Price, and his return at deadline could be franchise changing. IMO.

Stan, yes, and if you thought I was serious you are a loon.

Keeping with our recent history of bringing in players with troubled pasts, Steve Bowman comes to mind. I don't dislike Bergevin and see his team built for a lottery pick this season as a sign of him doing a great job. Then again, I am back in the Caribbean this season and don't have to suffer through watching it.

Perfect. So, if said performers performance evokes a riot, they are responsible? If said performer is unable to perform the audience is refunded and said performer is not paid. That is the real world I live in. You can't walk on stage not able to sing and expect to be paid. You cancel your show, repay your deposit from the promoter and go home.

I could handle 2 years without hockey if the resulting product was better. It is not a question of fault. If you are hired for a job and after you are hired it us discovered that you are not capable you are not at fault. Regardless of how wonderful your CV is and how great you performed in past jobs you can and will be fired. Athletes should not be exempt from dismissal. GMs and coaches can be fired. Players should be able to be fired too. They are not nonhuman. Contracts for athletes should all be performance based. IMO

I work in entertainment. I guess I better stop taking it seriously, like security at a Texas concert.

You must mean 3rd pairing in the ECHL?
