At this point I'd cheer for the Stars to knock out the Oilers but that's about as much engaged as I can get.

I'm sure it isn't happening, but his wife is from here and NYI look to be hurtling toward a rebuild so I don't see any reason why he wouldn't come back if it was on the table.
I still maintain their best move at the time would have been trading with us and trading for Miller, and keeping Necas. So more or less just adding to their team instead of downgrading it. From Necas to Rant to Stank who I do really like but he isn't Necas or Rantanan
He's hinted a bunch of times how much he disliked how contract negotiations went with management.
I don't think Bo's wife is from BC. Think they are both from Ontario. If they are, I think they'd rather remain in NYI as that is a much closer flight for the grandparents of their children to visit or for her and Bo to bring the kids to see.
For Carolina, at some point, you just need to push your chips in. They always play the long game, which I guess after all of those years with Karmanos, they feel that is better for the market than pushing in and then being down for multiple seasons.
Quick google showed she was on an ONT curling team in 2013. They got married while they were in Van, but she isn't a local.

Isles in a good spot now: Potentially good GM, #1 pick, and they will likely re-sign Dobson. They'll re-tool instead of rebuild, but doing so with that pick will be a lot easier.
The Horvat speculation feels good, but it's not happening. I think he hates this management team and I don't think they would double back on their decision.

Dobson is a year out of UFA. So, Darche and the Isles need to be clear on the plan for the team. Dobson is 25 this year. So, if the plan is a rebuild (I doubt it), then he wouldn't return to the PO until he's 30.
Ours. Horvat thought there would be more of a negotiation and didn't like how they went to Miller & signed him instead of continuing to negotiate.

Dobson is RFA with arbitration rights at the end of this year.
NYI is not rebuilding imo. Dobson will be re-signed and Darche will try to get them back in the playoffs next year.
Aside: A friend of mine recommended that Tavares go back to NYI if TOR doesn't re-sign him. I could see it with Nelson gone...

Id take Bo back, Isle are probably one of few teams that would be okay with 15th pick as a centrepiece too instead of hockey trade

If people are saying contention for the Cup is the goal, then it seems to me that pathway will have to go through McDavid, and as much as I am a JT Miller detractor, he was the guy the Canucks needed to counter McDavid and take the oil to seven games
I know, I know, that ship has sailed
And hit an iceberg
And sunk
And there was room on the door for Jack too
But then the door would have sunk a few more inches under their combined weight, and both Jack and Rose would have died of hypothermia, lying in a few inches of near freezing water
It's just so tragic

That would probably have been keeping Rantanan, but even then I think they would have been a better team with Necas AND Miller then just Rantanan. Rantanan is the better player, but as a team with Miller and Necas... thats better.
Not only did it sink, but they sent a sub to take a look at it and that imploded...
thus, a year out from UFA. If he doesn't like the direction the Isles are going, he doesn't need to commit to them. Telling them that he won't do a long term deal would be enough for them to trade him in the off-season.
But, I agree, that they won't blow it up for a rebuild. That would require trading half the roster, the upper half.

Go ahead foot
It is a reminder that enforcement of the rules is optional in the playoffs.
