Where’s @Wilf been? He’s been quiet.
Gbear
We finally were able to trade him to another website. PHR had to throw in some cash to make the deal work though. :D
pawtucket
I blocked him so I dunno
Best thing ever
based
Agreed the Mute button is fantastic. I have 10+ on my list lol
Nha Trang
Same here, quite some time ago. Bliss.
Babo1975
Same. His schtick has run pale.
Unclemike1526
That’s a pathetic group of Goalies to be sure. Pretty slim talent all around in fact.
Unclemike1526
Other than the obvious guys who aren’t going anywhere I mean.
PyramidHeadcrab
No true starters on that list really. A few 1B options in Kahkonen, Samsonov, Stolarz and a few others. Lots of third string options. Not sure we’ll ever see someone like Driedger back in the NHL unless he can pull magic out of his ass and play like he did in Florida again.
Mtog
Funny though his stats look great in both the AHL/NHL. I haven’t really seen him play so can anyone expand on this? Seems like he’d be a great backup for a million bucks….?
Nha Trang
Be interesting to play a “Pick a twenty-man expansion roster out of those names” game.
CaptKirk
Would probably still beat the Sharks or Ducks in a 7 game series lol
Josh Erickson
They’d be a playoff team, imo. LD depth is sketch, but a lot of the wingers listed have experience at center and can shift to compensate for an otherwise weak market. Montour/Pesce/Tanev would be an absolutely sick RD depth chart
Nha Trang
I certainly think so. Never mind that there’s enough star power there at wing to grab some trade bait. Unless the goalies collapse, that team would make the playoffs with room to spare.
Motown is My Town
Red Wings need to re-sign Perron and Kane
Gbear
Hope the Preds keep Zucker around.
