George McFly's alcoholic uncle.
Not to get too off topic here, but he reminds me of Willem Dafoe.

Stay safe!
The obsession that Vancouver fans have over Dobson and Pulock is f***ing annoying, pathetic and delusional. It's like Jan with her "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" routine.

Every GM in the league has an obsession with Dobson
That board is funny. Teams scout each other constantly.... sometimes something materializes, often it's just due diligence
I see the Canucks fans on the main board are still having massive group glue sniffing sessions....

It's a fanbase that twice rioted and set fire to their city for losing in the SC Finals...

The percentage you’re paying is too high priced
Not a bad take but I’m still going with Willem Dafoe. Could also have been the estranged brother of Silvio Dante from the Sopranos who never made it to the screen.
After losing to the Rags in 1994 they should’ve folded the team and relocated.

Must win.
As of this moment, Dobson and Sorokin are basically untouchable.
More so than Barzal.
More so than Barzal.
Which is why it is going to be key for NYI to draft well in the next couple of years. They're going to need ELC's/cheap contracts on their roster, at least in the bottom-6 to afford their extensions.

Link = their idiotic posts
I will say that Barzal is driving the play and not holding on to the puck as long as past seasons. His D and backchecking are solid so far. I think he's having a pretty decent year, lack of goals notwithstanding

To expand on this, the defense (definitely the top-4 and likely including Mayfield assuming he is re-signed) and Sorokin is the backbone of the team and should not be touched now and the foreseeable future. Barzal is our star forward, we need that other offensive star piece to be fully complete.
A Barzal, Dobson, and Sorokin core trio is pretty damn good.
Mr Misunderstood
Must win.
Amen to that.
I am not advocating to trade Barzal, I just want to see him take over a game like we've seen Sorokin do (albeit a little easier for a goalie to stand on his head) and even Dobson has done recently.
At least 1 gamebreaker at C, D and G is how Cup teams are built. Let's hope all 3 can continue to ascend.
Honestly, I don't like it. I don't like Kane as a fit especially with Barzal, and I don't see the point of paying the cost to acquire a center when other teams will be trying to acquire a center.
My #1 target would be Tarasenko. I never dreamed he could be available, but if the Blues continue on this path, he could be. Too many moves mess with the chemistry, but I think he would fit in very well.

If Lou can swing a deal for tank we would be a pretty dangerous team if healthy.

Agree regarding the top 2 but as for Barzal, I’ll add this. You don’t sign your young marquee player to a long term contract and then trade him a year or so later. Terrible message to send to your own players and potential future acquisitions.
He’s ours for the foreseeable future.
One would imagine the VAN fans wanting to trade Miller *before* his extension kicks in would appreciate that, but apparently not? Red flags all around.

What's the point in getting Horvat just to play him at wing?
No Thanks for obtaining Miller. I would rather see what brews naturally from Bridgeport or add at the deadline
Mr Misunderstood
Must win.
I would never, for all the reasons you posted.
It was simply pointing out how great and valuable Dobson and Sorokin are.
Just because I said they more untouchable than Barzal doesn't mean he isn't as well (unless we're talking a crazytown McDavid, Makar, MacKinnon return).
