  1. Man, fuck the Penguins. Ehrhoff takes a one year $4 million deal.

    My reaction:

    <---------

     

    I figure he turned down better deals (he better have) in order to get a shot at the cup.

     

    I like the Pouliot signing for you guys. He's a good player with good advanced stats. You need players like him. Silly money and term but good player.

  2. From TSN:

     

    The Senators will receive Alex Chiasson, Alex Guptill, Nicholas Paul and second round pick in 2015. Ludwig Karlsson is headed to Dallas alongside Spezza.

    Chiasson is good but probably not the guy you want back as the main piece of a Spezza trade. Guptill seems an alright prospect, though his college numbers have plateaued, and who the hell is Nicholas Paul? Worse value than the Kesler trade and that's saying something. Surprising that centre is the most valued position but when two players make themselves available (albeit to a limited amount of teams) nobody is throwing much out there for them. Both Dallas and Anaheim did a good job cleaning up. I like what Nill's been doing in Dallas so far. 

  3.  

    Today I learned that Dany Heatley is only 33.  I pegged him for at least 36.  Secretly hoping he signs with like Davos and fires clappers at chubby Swiss goalies for the next 5 years.

    That is incredible. His face looks nearer to 40 than 30. *snort -> spit* Fuggin' all-star though.

     

    Sports Net's tweedledee and tweedledum (Kypreos and MacLean) tweet that Bolland is close to signing with Florida for 6 or 7 years at north of $5 million per year and that Miller could be in Vancouver for five years, respectively. Need paper bag, hyperventilating.

     

    For mco and the Panther crew:

    Hopefully for the both of us, it's just them being them and not actually calling something.

  4. lol, Friedman tweets that Edmonton is shopping like their only good d-man in Jeff Petry. Amazing club. Just when I think my Canuckdom hit rock bottom, Edmonton proves otherwise. It can be sooo much worse.

  5. Boateng and Hoewedes are going to be Germany's undoing. Just awful. Wouldn't it make more sense to switch the two at least? Boateng has played a bunch of full back and Hoewedes has no idea what he's doing at fullback. 

  6. Why? What's the point of just missing the playoffs or making them and losing in 4 or 5 again? The NHL is turning into the NBA where if you aren't a top tier team there's no point in competing and you may as well tank, particularly with a draft class like the 2015 on the horizon. If we sign Miller, who is a piece of shit in all ways conceivable (horrible teammate, consistently whines, prima donna attitude, hasn't been top 10 in SV % since 09-10 and 3 times in the last 10 years), we will lose Markstrom for nothing. So we traded Luongo for Matthias, the ability to sign Ryan Miller, and to pay $800k of Luongo's cap for the next gazillion years.

     

    Hiller, post-vertigo, is even worse than Miller . If you want a goalie to push Lack, then Niemi is available and probably wouldn't cost much. I'd go with Lack and Markstrom, seeming as Markstrom didn't even have a goalie coach in San Antonio and could be refined by Melanson, who has done wonders with everybody he's worked with. Be foolish to give up on Markstrom when he was the best goalie prospect not two years ago.

     

    But that's not going to happen. We'll sign shitbums like Miller, Iginla (if we're lucky), Bolland, Moulson, etc. to make a push for the playoffs instead of accepting our lot. Fans don't want to see more of the same and are excited to watch the kids play. I think a rebuild, if handled well, wouldn't see the end of the world in Vancouver, and shouldn't take longer than 3-5 years. Pulling a Calgary Flames would only delay the inevitable. Calgary's only just now starting to get things sorted and it will take them another 3 or 4 years to get back to playoff contenders

  7. Gagner is not very good and Purcell can put up points with good players, so he should be fine. If Maloney thinks the Coyotes can replace Ribeiro with Sam Gagner, that could be uglier than usual for Arizona.

  8. What are you playing? So far I have 3D World (incredible!), Mario Kart 8 (awesome!), Zombiu (eeeehhhh), and Pikmin 3 (haven't gotten into it). I find I mostly play Wii U with friends and PS4 by my lonesome. I want to go back and play some of the Wii's best games before throwing down a bunch of money on new Wii U games, though. The Game of the Generation thread is helpful.
