Still remember Joey Elliot coming off the field and throwing his helmet down in disgust in a game against the Lions because Lapo called a draw on a second and five just so he could get the field goal, rather than take a risk to get the first down and go in for score. Then we ended up losing the game on a FG by BC on the last play of the game. That was Lapo's last game as HC.

Joe Thornton agrees with you.

we have two Puljujarvi's already. Which is awesome, but we need another Blake Wheeler (on steroids).

five starters on offence should help. Like to see six though, with 4 NI hogs on the OL. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

My Rockets aren't there this year but congrats to the West Kelowna Warriors for taking the RBC Cup. Great run this year guys!

lots of ads for sure. Pulujarvi sure is fast, looks a lot like Connor and Ehlers. I'd rather go with Laine - different kind of player.

Columbus will be lucky to have him.

2nd overall for Goligoski and Benn!

Is he waiting on an NFL try-out? I don't understand why no one would want a ratio-breaker linebacker. I'd rather have Henoc than Hurl, at least I think I do, unless I am missing something?

is Henoc Muamba still unsigned?

Most of his goals were rebounds. I am thinking the Jets will unload him this year in a trade. I just don't see a role for him going forward.

yup I hope when I go it's while eating a giant pile of bacon right after watching the Bombers win on the last play of the Grey Cup.

might as well go and play for both of his prior teams, having already gone through Chicago.

Yikes! Stay away!!!

Wonder where Ladd is going to end up this year? We don't have room for him in the top 6, which is pretty amazing to think about actually.

is that when his contract is up? Perhaps he could be similar to Ladd, in that he gets traded at the deadline for picks and a prospect.

Right. If he's that good, we might be able to trade Little next year. Perhaps to Edmonton for Myers.

who wants the 4th overall pick? I assume almost every team is in play here. If PLD is really that good, like "franchise" good, then fine, trade Myers. I just hope we go deep on D men with the rest of our picks after that, having secured Laine and PLD. Man that would be some exciting young talent in our top 6 (maybe not this year, but next for sure): PLD, Laine, Connor, Schief and Ehlers. Like scary good.

Buff still takes too many penalties. Dumb ones too. He needs to work on that. Granted, sometimes he gets the call just because he's so big.

Yeah that guy would look good as a Jet all right. EDIT - looks like he was drafted in 2009 by the Islanders in the 2nd round. If he was never signed does that make him a free agent? Or is he eligible to be drafted again? I don't know how these rules work.

Love your signature line!!

Through various NHL connections that exist in Kelowna I've heard it on extremely good authority that Edmonton is shopping number 4 for a proven D man, and Myers fits the bill, though unlike you I'd really hate to see him go, as I think he can be a dominant D man with that huge reach, and via similar sources I hear that Myers really likes it in Winnipeg and wants it to be his home for the rest of his career. If they want Myers that's great, but make them pay. I don't see why we'd have to give them our 22nd as well as Myers for number 4. Maybe throw in Thorbs or Burmi. We've got lots of bottom six guys that are going to be obsolete with the arrival of Connor and Laine and Lemieux. I'd also consider taking Tkachuk with the 4th overall, but that's just because I am biased due to his last name. I also haven't seen PLD play and know basically nothing about him.

anyone know why Kyle Connor hasn't been playing for the US? Is he hurt? I noticed Burmi wasn't in the line-up today for the Russkies. Man Canada losing 3-2 to the US right now, this would be a huge upset. I don't think either Canada or the US can beat Finland, they are on fire.

This kind of implosion by Montreal makes me kind of sad that we are in the West now....sigh...
