Juulsen may get to play with hotshot American Austen Matthews this winter in Everett. Word is that it's either Swiss Pro League or the Silvertips for Matthews. That sure would speed up young Juulsen's development, I would think.

Hockey is a business PMAC. AM has been atrocious the last two playoffs. He's done as a top pair D and we should consider moving him while he still has some value. No GM in the league will keep a player for sentimental reasons. Especially in the Cap era. And hey, we can always bring him back to retire as a Hab.

I'm actually glad MB hasn't signed any of the UFA's! I don't think any of these guys would be our missing ingredient. If the right deal is to be made, it will be. If not, we cross our fingers and hope for the best from a few youngins. We'll still be a playoff team, with or without any potential trades.

I'm getting cross-eyed just looking at that word! Anywho, fair enough, I guess I'm the only one that would consider moving him. We sure could use that extra loot though. Where the hells 30, he'd move AM in a split second! haha

Yeah an 18 year old not making a Nat'l team is far less critical than a 19 year old not making it. Det seems to find these Swedish gems every year, maybe it's our turn?

Do we do Markov a solid and trade him to a top contender so he can win a cup and retire? It's happened many times before..and he doesn't seem to have anything left in the tank. Ducks need a 3rd pairing guy after losing Beauchemin..Whatta ya say?..bring back a 2nd round pick from Ducks? Bolts? Preds? Blues?

My bad Don, I hadn't heard Vejdemo was 19. I apologize good sir..You're right, his omission is cause for some concern. I keep hearing he's a diamond in the rough though. Let's hope that applies and we find out sooner rather than later

RNH, Backes, Oshie...I'm listening Nihilz and I'm LIKING

Anyone hear of possible trades/signings today? I'm thinking MB has something up his sleeve. I personally think it's a trade. Pleks, Tinordi and a 2016 first rounder for whom....

Perron didn't work out playing with Syd or Malkin..I wouldn't think he'd thrive playing with Pleks or DD..I love that you'd sweep in to rape the Pens though!

Being drafted doesn't necessarily get you onto any wjc roster. How many '15-drafted Canadian boys will make it? Maybe 4-5? I suspect Sweden is no different. The Lake Placid tournament is basically the first tryout for each of the four teams entered. I would think that 80-90% of the roster will be selected after this tournament. I'm 90 minutes away from LP and have been to many of these games. Trust me when I say this: The boys play this tournament like it's make or break for them!

Hmmph, I think I'll wait and see what he's got in camp before I go giving him any top 6 minutes

Joel Hanley? Never heard of him...sounds like he owns a vineyard or something

PA said that it's nice to go someplace where the coach wants you

Nail, Head, MoLG

Buffalo is looking better and better...watch them take Bostons place in the standings this year. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing the Booins drop to last place in the Atlantic

Yesssss!! Real pleased with Pateryn and whoboy, what a deal for us!

..or maybe MB told him "let me make some moves july 1st then we'll get back to your contract..trust me, i'm freeing up some money for you" ?? just saying

Hahaha Trizz! Gotta say that this trade is ok in my books! Picked up a player with more size, speed, offensive potential, AND saved some money in cap space! Ok MB now what else is brewing...Belesky perhaps?

Can we go back to an open discussion now? Opinions will most certainly vary..that's ok, dammit. How about the cap management skills of MB? Not bad, not bad

HAHAHAHHA Lovett or Leavit then!

It's not a U18 team Don..calm down

Calgary Flames are going to be a force to be reckoned with this season in the west!!

I gotta say that I can NOT wait to hear what that biased fk Jack Edwards will have to say about his beloved bruins this season! The big bad bruins are going to be among the bottom third in the league and I LOVE IT! I can hear the excuses from ol Jack already! And who knows, maybe Rene Rancourt will be forced to tone down the arrogance in his Nat'l Anthem fist pumps...like I sez, can NOT wait!!

I got you Dal..Careful next time, Chic doesn't deserve that
