  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I’d trade Drouin if it came down to it, and if that’s what it would take to get a 2 RD, but not the others. I usually agree with pretty much everything you say, but not this time. Sorry bud…

I don't think they should trade Lehky, but Drouin's a UFA, and they'll most likely re-sign him.

He took less on one year deals to stay, he's played well (though been injury pone), he's Nate's buddy who just lost another buddy in Mikko, and they finally have the money to give him a longer deal after trading Mikko.

They could be in a tough spot at 2C, if Nelson and Coyle don't work out. Likely be in a tough spot anyway at 2nd pair RD.

Even if Crosby would finally agree to be traded, I'm not sure they have the assets anymore to bring him in without giving up key roster players, unless Dubas just does him a huge favor.

With the cap going up even more when Lehky is up for a new contract, maybe we can get a 2 RHD by giving up picks or prospects like we did with Manson

Sure, if you can convince a team to trade their RHD to us for a pick in 2027 and Oskar Olausson I'm all for it.

All you tits were getting worked up over a guy playing 2 weeks on his new team after spending 14 years with one organization.

Brock is a beast.
Not everybody. I had no issues giving him more time. The guy is a goal scorer. It was just a question of time before he start filling the net. Let's not forgot he also hit 3 posts.
 
General Bednar's system is not easy to learn. But Brock Nelson acquitted himself nicely and held the line in recent border skirmishes. Secretary of War MacFarland his informed Gen. Bednar to elevate Col. Nelson in the upcoming battle against Gen. DeBoer's Texans.

Thats Admiral Nelson sir. Great grandson of Horatio Nelson who defeated French-Spanish armada at Trafalgar.

And now we're making equal over-exaggerations over one game. Nate would not be impressed at the roller coaster of emotions of this place.

Also just checked that Dufour has 1+1 in 3 games with the Eagles. Wonder if he can pan out to be anything or if his first AHL season was a fluke
 
Great to see Brock get two goals. Hopefully that boosts his confidence and he can get back to playing his game.

Looks like Lehky might have been the fixer again too. They moved Drouin up with Nate, and Lehky, and finally Necas with Nelson, and he scores two goals.

Lehky is the guy you put with someone who is overthinking the game, because he just goes out and does all the little things they're worried about doing, and they can just go out and play.
