sweep the leg

Whomever they get in the draft between Eichel or McDavid will be the guy the team is built around and get the treatment you're describing. Kane will be #2 on that team to a rookie and will probably be shipped out again if he can't get along with their new superstar.

You're assuming the Riders could have kept Hurl. You can't force a player to re-sign and you can't assume the Riders "let him walk" either. It's certainly a possibility that Hurl told the Riders to sod off so he could try to follow Richie Hall here. Exactly. You can't "elect" to keep a pending free agent. From what I've read they did make an offer in an attempt to keep him.

We're getting the goaltending now that I think a lot of people expected would happen for the entire season. Hutchinson has regressed and Pavelec is Pavelec. It seems like we're giving up at least one bad goal a game lately, and that will sink most teams, not just us.

Now your bias is shining through. Lots of the players on this team were brought in by Joe Mack. This regime has a lot of ground to make up to even come close to the level of recruiting Mack did. You hate Mack though so I just expect you to downplay the things he did do welll. . I don't see in his post where he said Mack didn't recruit some good players. "Lots" is a subjective word. I count 12 guys on the roster that predate Walters taking over.

I wondered about the OP. Ask a question about Taylor Swift on a football forum and then disappear...

Burmi can't play in the NHL this season and there doesn't seem to be much hope that he will ever play in Winnipeg again. He is a pending RFA so they should just move him and get an asset back because he isn't going to sign here. He's already an RFA. That's why he was able to leave for Russia.

Elimimian, Wild, McCoil, Reed...

I liked Lowry's game last night. That was about it.

Jagr can't skate anymore, He might be able to help our pp, but that's it. I'd pass.

Yes, a mildly amusing headline would be the best thing about extending his contract.

not nearly as much as you're overvaluing him. 0% we could get Vermette for him.For that return, the Coyotes would be better off keeping him and using the next few months to work on an extension.

We ran a 1990 style offense that season and used a fb most of the time. That helped keep the sack numbers down. I think Morley's best season as a Bomber was last year.

There's a few guys who made their names that way - they'd sleep-walk through the season and then wake up in the playoffs. Claude was the best of them. John Druce was another. Bryan Bickell seems to be also heading that way, he seems to get more points in the playoffs then he does during the season. That could also be a function of ice time and power play time as well.No really fair to compare Lemieux to Druce. He only had one good playoff and he was an irrelevant player otherwise. Lemieux was always a pretty good player.Justin williams is a good current comparison.

Walters looked like he has cornrows.

Myers actual pay will be about half of Bogosian's b/c of his big upfront money.

I think I like it. There's a lot to digest in this trade.

And there almost definitely would be. We'd probably get one of the 1st rounders, Stewart/Stafford, and a prospect, in addition to Myers.

It was pretty funny to read a Hamilton reporter criticizing the Bombers for going hard at FA. They've been the offseason champions a few years in a row.

Washington with big interest too, according to Lawless.

Lawless thinks the Coyotes want in on Kane right now too.

That's what I think. It would be fantastic if he earns that bonus.

I'd like to know what they're paying MacDougall.

Derick Armstrong type, will likely play the boundary WR, allow Denmark, Moore and Kohlert to play slot most of the time. Those guys took turns at the boundary last year but we didn't have a true fit for that spot, Denmark played it best. Isn't he aporox 40 pounds lighter than Armstrong? I've read more people comparing him to Edwards.

We might have been better off staying with January if he's who we end up with.

He's a better, American version of Corey Watson. My life won't change based on whether we do or don't sign him, but he wouldn't be a terrible add. He has a more unique skill set than Ernest Jackson does. That's a type of receiver that we should be able to scout.
