I think STL feels they're a great goaltender away from a Cup. Having the revolving door of basically 3 good goalies hasn't done it for them yet, and I think they'd rather have the 1 stud than 3 good 'tenders. And I don't blame them.

Dreger says a lot of things. :lol

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

You make it sound like he's Eklund. If he's saying it, there's at least something to it. Cally wants big money, and knows someone will give it to him. We keep saying they'll wise up eventually, but no one has yet. And the Rangers won't lose him for nothing.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Depending on their seeding, I see them as maybe getting to the second round, if they make the show at all. Getting MSL and keeping Callahan would for sure up their chances. Both you and I are pretty outspoken of our love Cally

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I just got kinda hard thinking about the possibility of Parenteau (and probably a pick, but whatev) for Girardi... Just a thought.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

They both have the NMC where they can list 8 teams they will not accept a trade to.

Probably both of us. I've been hitting the sell button for a year or two now. Blow it up! :rattle

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

How about Ryan O'Reilly for Pirri and a 2nd rounder?

Ehhhhhhhhh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Dan Girardi to the Flyers. Get it done, Homer.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Not sure about all the Rangers hate. They were playing fantastic hockey going into the Olympic break. They keep that up and they are 100% a cup contender....or at least a contender to come out of the east.

Soderberg is filthy, I heard so much about how good he was playing in Sweden and wasn't really impressed with him on the wing, but he looks so much better at center.

Edit: and Loui looks like he's keeping up his great play from the Olympics so far, hopefully he's finally found his game.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

For me, it's not hate at all. Just honestly don't think they are big contenders. FWIW, I don't really think the Avs are either. Not this year.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol you have said yourself more than anyone else in this thread that they are not a cup contender.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:thumbsup avs/jackets cup might be a sweep. I'd have to update my sig.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

According to the fourth period, Kesler has asked to be traded. We could finally have a good deadline day boys. Maybe I should take Wednesday off. lol

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

LET THE KESLER/KANE BROMANCE CONTINUE IN CHICAGO!

God that would be amazing.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Bickell, Leddy and Pirri for Kesler and a 3rd.

Thanks Vancouver.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Is that like a new thing in the nhl, asking to be traded?

Vancouver is falling apart at the seams.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Give us Seabrook instead and you've got a deal.

O'Reilly would actually make a great Blackhawk.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Vancouver has been falling apart since 2011.

OK, fine, O'Reilly for Bickell.

I wouldn't give up all that for Kesler. Basically I just wouldn't give up Leddy. He's top 4 with Hammer next year. Maybe even this year if they trade Oduya and being up Stephen Johns.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Wait, wait, wait...you don't want to give up Leddy but you hate Seabrook? What?

Dude. I mean...what?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:thumbsup if that ever happened I would buy a Foote Jackets jersey in your honor.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Wouldn't Kessler coming home but he really doesn't fit here.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Deal. I'll call Joe, you call Stan.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Yeah...that might be one of the very few teams he doesn't seem to make sense on.

In all seriousness, he would be a great fit. But then again, so would any legit 2C.

All this Kesler talk...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcHy8xEt2QI

I'm sorry I don't have a permanent love affair with Seabrook, but he was slow last year and more of the same this year. He's much worse than he was in 2010. This is from Yahoo yesterday:

Pre-Break LVP: Brent Seabrook. Not Bryan Bickell who is coming off two knee injuries. Most of Seabrook's blips have been covered by Keith, but he's been slow, wayward, and just in a general fog all year.

Him and Keith don't even draw top assignments...I'm sure it's not because of this years' Norris winner.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Surprisingly (or not surprisingly?) the only Avs players who didn't look flat for the first 10 minutes or so tonight were the Olympians (Duchene, Stastny, Landeskog).

Pretty much the same thing with the Kings.

The guys I'm worried about with Olympics are Hossa and Keith. Keith gets a huge workload and Hossa is getting older. Couple that with this being a lonnnng year and last year being an extra short summer and I hope they have legs in May

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Haha true, but it's ok when I say it because I'm a Rangers fan! Kind of like making jokes about your race, funny when you do it, not cool when someone not of that race does :lol

:trap


:gonnacall

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

If you need more proof that Bonzo is the new Bron, look no further than him saying he wouldn't want to give up Nick Leddy for a 40 goal scoring, Selke winning center.
