obviously we claim Erixon and enjoy our free Morin..

 

[hardkorejackets]

I'm guessing it's doubtful the Jackets make a claim for Tim Erixon? Maybe more likely if they can trade Leopold or Wiz here at the deadline?

Note- I'm not a huge Tim Erixon fan that thought he was a future Top 4 D-Men either, just curious.

Congratulations, @cmcdavid97 ! 37 goals

games!

Jesus...

Apparently the guy just isn't cut out for the NHL. Back to a Swedish league? Kind of disappointing.

I think he looked fine here. Chicago waiving him has to be a prelude to either someone coming off IR or possibly a trade.

I'd pick him back up without blinking, but I don't think he gets past Edmonton.

I don't know if Jesus even put up numbers like that, although the Internet wasn't around back then so I can't look up his stats...

Wonder what Robert thinks of Erixon

They did get Timonen yesterday. Made room for him?

Toronto claims Erixon

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Tim Erixon looks too much like Theon Greyjoy to me.

I think his beard might be holding him back

Toronto claims Erixon

Last chance in the NHL.

Derrick Brassard still makes more than Zuc, Mats needs to fire his agent

I really hope Florida can catch Boston. I'd like to see the bruins on the outside looking in.

 

[ndd17]

Rags still have picks in the next two drafts?

Can't wait for another year of a Hitch team going nowhere in the playoffs.

Can't wait for another year of a Hitch team going nowhere in the playoffs.

A Hitchcock-coached team has won exactly one playoff series since 2004.

I'm puzzled at the Coburn trade. The Flyers got good value for him, but for a team that has a hard time assembling a competent D-core, it just doesn't make sense. The Flyers' window starts in a couple years (or it better, with Voracek and Giroux in their primes). It doesn't start five or six years from now when Morin and Sanheim et. al. are hitting their stride and Voracek and Giroux are past theirs. Coburn was their best defender, and it's just too hard to replace him and get top pair D in the short run.

 

[Samkow]

Turn on the Florida game.

Derek MacKenzie might be in goal for the Panthers. Not kidding.

Got it on now. Looks like Gallant is trying to figure out what he is allowed to do.
