More bad news as one of the two survivors Alexander Galimov died of severe burns that covered 90% of his body... the other man (a flight engineer) is still in serious condition... I wish him the best. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=588186

That is actually amazing!

Is that the top four defensemen that dlbalr was talking about them signing?

The trade would free up like 1 million and we have around 4 million in cap space atm, there are articles (and another thread) about questioning if that is too much. That would be an entertaining line though

I agree with every word of that. Plus they look awkward with the jerseys.

I think they are just saving as insurance, what if there is an incredible amount of injuries too one aspect of the roster where we need too sign something. Say goalies get injured, there would need too be action there, if say the injuries that hit the blue line this year happen again and then our Yemelins and Diaz's do not pan out and are not up too par. I think it makes perfect sense to leave the cap room. Freedom too react is better in my opinion. I would not be opposed too a cheap signing like John Madden at all though, I always liked him. Hamilton should be able too fill that 4th line player though.

My last three have all been habs Markov, Price and Price again

They have 46 players under contract... they still have space for 4 more habs D:!

Yeah.. I get the THN yearbook every year... but lets be honest their playoff spot predictions tend too be copy paste from last year without any real thought involved.

If that happened I think they would need too rename Tampa Bays affiliate time to Bouchdogs or something

I thought it was pretty cool anyways

I have been looking for one too join

I just found out on Wiki that because Henri Richard was born on a leap year, he technically had more Stanley Cups (11) then he had had birthdays by the end of his career! (9)

I believe Willsie will be in the AHL all year, if injuries are limited and Trotter will see time but he won't be a regular unless he makes a leap. Woywitka has the best chance but I think he was picked up as more of an insurance role in case, Yemelin, Weber and Diaz or even Spacek regress or do not make a smooth transition too the NHL level.

Thats a lose trade for us but he would be an excellent fit its true

Youth do have a higher chance of moving up in the depth chart because they are young and still have much room for unexpected development... but there is equal chance they will crumble under the pressure. I love the idea of developing players from within your own organization because i think they would be more loyal too the team and consitancy in the lineup is something i think all fans value and I definitely count myself on the youth bandwagon for that reason and if ownership shows that kind of loyalty too its players i believe that would help and future FA talks in the future

They have been waiting a long time, they really are a solid hockey city too, they have a pretty solid fan base, I know people who are Buffalo fans and thats more then I can say for most non original six-american teams from my neck of the woods, everyone is Original Six, Generic other Canadian team or Pittsburgh (Im from nova scotia so the crosby thing is big here, im no fan of him though)

lol I have him in my NHL 11 with Winnipeg (I moved Atlanta haha) He hasn't left my minors and he is 25

Ouch thats rough...

I just listened too a interview with Kirk Muller on their site I have no complaints

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=374360 You know.. I cannot think of too many times when a player straight up say, "I expect this to be my best season ever," I like it

I am not sure this man is overly intelligent...

We should have a separate thread for Gomez rumors

Woywitka did score half his goals on the powerplay... humm...

Apparently he has been battling depression... that is really sad too hear.
