Did they make a new tunnel? I remember them saying something about doing that. They need new seats badly, (black hopefully) the maroon seats are sooo ugly. Hopefully that’s on the do list next summer. That would make the arena much nicer. Should of took a picture of the new boards/glass.

Your wish is my command haha. Didn't notice anything different about the tunnel. Definitely agree on seats. Hopefully that's coming soon.

Put enough butts in seats and you don't know what colour they are any more.
Sting did a great job putting butts in seats last year and they didn’t even make playoffs. Still an eye sore, seats are almost 30 years old
Boards and glass definitely look great, I like the black on top of the boards. I’d definitely like to see them switch to black seats, and get rid of the light blue signs for the energy zone. They look bad.
Wow everybody else is talking about who got drafted , but our topic of discussion is the colour of our seats and the new glass/boards.

Pretty much the entire topic was before the draft even started

Quite a few Europeans that went today seem to be indicating they wanna play in NA. Makes the import draft that much better.
Sarnia picks 6 & 72. Definitely need a F with size & then with pick two just go BPA between F & G. That's my opinion anyways.
It's Wednesday at 11am.

Anyone interesting names among those who indicated they might want to come over to NA?

Matvei Gridin
Miroslav Holinka
Ilya Protas
Emil Hemming
Are 4 I saw them/their team say they might. There were a few others but I can't for the life of me remember their names or who tweeted it.
Still hoping we go for a 17 yr old who'd be here 3 years. Harder to find but would fit exactly with our timeline.
Was no shocker Fidcher went 2nd round why talk about it. He was going this year and we knew 2 years ago when he chose to come over USDT. Was in all agreements to make sure this happened. It did and we moved on.
I think the Import Draft will be come a big hi light of this teams future way more excited about that this week.
Glad we saw Dylan and Letang at draft to talk with NHL teams as well as euros that were drafted to see if they come.
Think we draft 2 euros now and 1 will be 17 and 1 will be ready to make big impact this coming year. This this would be big for buzz program.
Makes sense for Redwings to park a high draft pick in sarnia to keep eye on them.
But on other hand don't think they want Letang having anything to do with their development. Just seems to hold back the offense of players in Sarnia for example every player that has left last 3 years has exploded offensively for different programs
Matvei Gridin has been in the ushl for the last two seasons and is committed to Michigan for next season.

It's speculated he's looking to play in the CHL. He wanted to before but the Russian ban didn't allow it.

Young invited to Colorados rookie camp. Gaudreau invited to Chicago's rookie camp.

Despicable how Tampa treated Stamkos. 16 yr career. Decade long captain. 2 cups. Coming off a 40G 40A season & their offer was 3 million per season. Even after creating 11 million they didn't up it.
Straight up disrespectful.
Straight up disrespectful.

Exactly he’s around a ppg right now. And right now they’re trying to win. 3 or 4 years down the line he probably drops off a little bit with age but he won’t be a 4th liner by any means lol
gotta be cold and willing to walk away, i give tampa credit on that, they did what was the best for the organization.
With the entry draft in the books and the import draft tomorrow (I think) who are we hoping to see in a sting uniform this up coming September?

Correct! I believe we also have Young attending a rookie camp which is awesome to see.
