I'll believe it when I see it. Bowman is now the third guy to take on that particular challenge.

Not being in LTIR and having it to be salary out/in makes it easier on the GM to make an addition as we dont have to pay even more to dump a contract.

Sorry man I just don't have as much faith in Stecher as you and others do. Emberson I have lots of faith in. He's eventually going to be a Top 4 Dman in the Vlasic mold but obviously not as good (M.E. Vlasic). But we can't rush him into a huge position like that either.

I'll just say I have more faith in Stecher than Brown lol


Not based on what inside analysts said. Seravalli said both the Dallas and Florida series opened teams eyes up to Broberg and they saw him as a very good Dman. St. Louis didn't just give him that offersheet for fun


O'Reilly and Savoie aren't going anywhere unless a top pairing Dman is available

No need to apologize- it’s your opinion and you are entitled to it.

On Broberg, he got decimated in the finals. He had the worst xGA of any d man in the playoffs. He was an absolute tire fire. Fortunately, Skinner rocked a .940 on ice sv% when Broberg was on the ice. He didn’t even keep his head about water. Now, he was playing his wrong side and showed excellent puck moving skills, but he still wasnt very good defensively.

On Stetcher, we’ll see what he is. I have faith based on what we see. He was very good at denying zone entries and transitional defence last year, all of which Nurse sucks at. Nurse did well with Bear because Bear was good at denying the zone, getting the puck, and quick zone exits. If Stetcher can do that, he’ll succeed with Nurse. He doesn’t need a defensive d to be his partner- he needs some to move the puck out quickly because he sucks at in zone defence

I see Philly is trying to sneak Ronnie Attard through waivers early.

He's a rightie I was eying as a potential claim if all else failed. Kind of Brent Burns-esque. 6'3'' 210lbs, athletic, rangy offensive risk-taker and has a nuclear weapon for a shot.

I would not call them trying to sneak the guy down. He is 25 with 6 pts in 29 nhl games. Problem is in his own zone sometimes. I saw a few Flyers games last year he played in and he looks to me to be one of those real good ahlers that is just "that" much from being a guy who can play in the NHL

Concerned that we lost 5 out of our top 10 hitters on the team.

Emberson and Brown hit but Skinner and Ardvidson don't scare anyone and Perry is so slow he can't catch anyone. Podkolzen hits which will help too.

That’s what happens when you play McDavid 3 playoffs in a row.

Love Doughty btw and hope he comes back quick as possible

he should be back in time for the TDL where we will acquire him.

Right on. According to Facebook we signed Demelo. Seems like a lot of money but hopefully Winnipeg doesn't mind.
