Exactly. It’s been a long time.

There is no reason to think Colorado wouldn’t want to acquire Strome because they think he would be a baby about being a 3C on a cup contending team. I think we can move past this discussion...

So what should we talk about?
How was Hawaii?
 
I would pick Byfield #1. Love the size,skill,skating combo, the high ceiling and the position he plays. Love Raymond too.
On a different note. Wonder with farabees struggles, would the flyers consider trading him. I'd like to pick him up.

Thailand! 4 more days. Chillin on the beach. Before going to James Bond Island.

How about Artemi being the best damn player in the league and us potentially wasting this amazing year? Let’s build this baby and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

If I were Keith, I'd be pretty embarrassed right now. If you aren't willing to fight someone, you sure as hell had better not target their head with an illegal hit. That is a Marchand level of gutlessness. I'd expect better from a Tkachuk.

How the hell did he not get 5 for fighting? Because the guy at the painful end of the assault didn't punch back (right or wrong)? I think they counted 10 bare knuckle punches thrown. Ridiculous.

Very debatable...In all honesty, both were reaches. And reaches i mean both were drafted about 7-10 spots ahead of where they were predicted to go.

Revisionist history. McIlrath for all his shortcomings was high on a number of teams lists. Edmonton had him in their top seven (source: Oil Change TV show) and Dallas would have probably taken him at #11 if the Rangers didn’t (source: former Stars scout) Andersson would have gone 9th to Detroit.

Of course, the picks look bad in retrospect. All top picks that don’t work out do.

Hindsight is 20-20.

Actually the idea of ADA and Fox as a pairing seems to be getting a bit of traction, but I don't think we'll see that happen a whole lot this year aside from situations where Quinn is shortening his bench or looking for a real big offensive push.

Fox is going to push for a top-4 spot in the near future. He's far exceeded my expectations for him in his first season. So pairing him and Tony together isn't out of the realm of possibility going forward.

Fox has been a top four defenseman since the start of the season.

I hope that Hank asks for a trade which prolly won’t happen.
From time to time Georgi has proved that he can play solid even when taking longer breaks between games. He’s very good at tracking pucks, rebound control and his lateral movement is prolly top 5 in the league. Just don’t trade him if the return isn’t good enough.

JD and Gorts have a lot to think about.

I'd wager at least 67% on this board would happily resign CK if he accepted a 5 year contract at $6M AAV

I think more would sign up for that, but hes going to get at least an extra year and $1MM more AAV the way hes playing.

Unless he signals he will sign a team friendly deal, he will get traded by the deadline. I wouldn't blame him him for wanting more, he deserves it and it's for his future financial security.

The thing is, if we took Chytil at 7 we'd say it was a reach that seems to have worked out great. And if we took Andersson at 21 it would have been a safe pick that hasn't worked, but he would never have made it that far anyway.
My point is, stuff happens. If that's even a point.
