Anyone know why I can’t see any posts in this thread all of a sudden? Every other thread works fine

Something good in the draft preview on msg?

Nah, just a lot of fluff

I have no idea, I just wanted to let you know I'm laughing out loud at your avatar.

Not really.

They spent a 3rd of it talking about staal and hank

Second portion was about the draft where JD basically said they were taking Laf with out saying that they were taking Laf. Discussed how they will get a good player at 22 as well.

Third portion discussed their RFA's.

It’s literally a combination of all the shorts of the past few days. Total advertisement scam.

Same here. Maybe mods are deleting or hiding posts?

No, it is a live thread. I'm guessing that might be causing problems...

I think it was something to do with it being a live thread, once I turned that feature off I could see the posts, glad the avatar made you laugh

it is i had to leave the live thread group in order to see posts

Thank u for clarifying. My apology.

Am I the only person who when I click on this thread I only see the first 2 posts then a video ad, and no more posts? Even though it says there are 16. It's happening in other threads too

If you're on mobile browser download brave. It's outstanding for this site. No ads ever. I literally just use that browser for this site.

And I didn't even do that much.

Either you guys are getting neurotic or I'm getting old.

Yes.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Have we heard anything new from the fellas since this am?

@bobbop @Edge @BBKers

Anyone got any rumors?

For anyone who missed the "draft" preview, this covers the RFA stuff they talked about.

 

[DutchShamrock]

Not that I'm sweating the Strome situation, but I wonder if the rangers are trying to gauge the situation. If some enticing options shake loose via RFA and buyout, maybe they let strome walk.

You simply cannot let him walk for nothing.

S ay for instance Gorton is able to trade for eichel within the next two hours. Does they even go public or does that smug little bettman make them sit on it till the Rangers are on the clock?

No, it would be announced. Trades that happen every year ON draft day are still announced by insiders hours before the draft. But I wouldn't get your hopes up about Eichel.

The trade would go public 100000000000%

Bettman/the NHL wouldn't be able to force teams to sit on that.

I mean you can if there's no market for him and you need the cap space. I don't see that being the case though.

I'm tapped out on theories as to why they haven't QO'd him though. It's very odd even if they have a trade lined up.

Thanks for posting and wanted to thank Frontier for dropping MSG, YES and SNY. I’ll be dropping them tomorrow

Well I tend to agree but I don't want to speak in absolutes. Its remote but I wouldn't let Strome's contract prevent me from making the team better.

I get protecting assets, I guess I understand why they are waiting. Whether it is information gathering or whatever.

Yep. Maybe a whole bunch of guys drop out of the chute. I guess it’s a game of chicken at this point. Still seems unlikely they non-tender him.

Do we have a list of the RFA’s still waiting to be qualified? Maybe JG and JD are eyeing someone on that list...

Well, that's the thing. We have no idea what balls Gorton is juggling. Obviously there is at least one plan that involves using that cap space for someone other than Strome, but who knows how it will play out.

If Strome doesn't get qualified and he signs somewhere else, it isn't the end of the world. Or maybe we don't qualify him, and our other plans fall through, and we end up re-signing him anyway.

I got the feelin TonyD and Strome are both gone this time tomorrow.
