Everyone stop what you're doing! It's happening! GW's own Alu is having a baby!! Come and congratulate him here: Need some help identifying this picture.
We're so happy for you, Alu!
Very true, sometimes the sure-fits don't work and the long-shots become studs. Look at Jamie Benn and John Klingberg, low picks who became something special.
Absolutely, we had Val Nichushkin not long ago, didn't pan out AT ALL, then went to Colorado, looked awesome and screwed himself. Not everyone pans out, and some ruin themselves. Life's a funny, funny thing.
I'm going to go on a limb and say that won't work out for the Panthers.
Oliver Eckman-Larssen ten years ago though? lol
Stamkos, yeah, I get it, but Marchessault? He's going to be a spare wheel there, I don't see where he fits.
I like Marchessault more than most. Stamkos somewhere other than Tampa is going to be weird.
Has he dropped to less than a top 4 defenseman? I mean he's been a serviceable asset since he was drafted and 3.5 AAV isn't terrible in this day and age. He's also only 32Deal for OEL is worse that what I read. The official dollar and term is $3.5M AAV over 4 years..............
They've been in on Lindholm for two years so not surprised there.
Ryan Suter's still out there if you want to add to the worst evers...
Hmm.... I see. I think it's more likely they send Korpisalo to Providence then. If the Senators retained 25%, then it stands to reason the Bruins could save more cap space by sending him down. Especially since they gave Bussi a one year contract. He'd be fine as the back up and either a team claims Korpisalo and you save all the cap space, or he goes to the minors and you save about half of what he'd make.
Could convince Antii Niemi to come out of retirement, then we can have a Korpisalo/Niemi goaltending tandem. o_oRyan Suter's still out there if you want to add to the worst evers...
I don't remember his contract situation, but I assume Grzelcyk is an option to go too. Carlo was a rumored cap casualty at the deadline last year, so his is another. Lindholm and McAvoy are locked up long term as the top pair. And Lohrei will be on the third pair with Wotherspoon. Zadorov is a lock on the second pair. Peake and Mitchell will be the 6th and 7th.
OMG! The first duo in NHL history to post and over 5 GAA!
It'd be one hell of a tanking duo if you ask me. I could see it now, the Bruins bottom out in the standings, finishing last in the NHL. But it's not all doom & gloom because the Bruins put themselves in a position for a top 5 pick, maybe even landing the first overall selection.

Gross.I've got some bad news, everyone.
Quenneville, Bowman, MacIsaac eligible to work in NHL again | NHL.com
NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League today announced that, effective immediately, Stan Bowman, Al MacIsaac and Joel Quenneville are eligible to seek employment in the NHL. For more than the last two and a half years, these individuals have been ineligible to work for any NHL team as a
Edmonton's expected to name Stan Bowman as their GM next Wednesday, on the day he can officially seek employment. That's going to be a shitshow.
Same... And they have only two natural RW on the team right now. Pastrnak and Brazeau... and there is no way they're willing to go into the season with Brazeau as a top 6 forward, right? RIGHT?!

I believe the word you mean is disgusting not crazy
That too, may the organization suffer years of futility for this POS hiring.
Reeks of desperation in the aftermath of Ken Holland leaving, especially since they were so close to winning the cup. Unfortunately, some organizations don't give a shit when it comes to this sort of thing, and the way Edmonton saw it, they saw him as the most qualified candidate based on his "experience".
