@SouthSlides After those two more obvious choices, Leetch, Coffey and, for me, Stevens.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@SouthSlides Orr and Potvin.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@IslesFix Yes. Look it up. Defense was rated at the bottom of the league. Just lost their no. 1 center. Had reclamation projects in net. Had some younger guys w/potential who hadn’t proven much in Toews, Brock, Adam and Ryan. Had Mat, Anders and a solid JB. BUT had TBFLIH.

@GuyOnCryptoX @LukeBarnett Quebec and it’s not even close. Both of great cities.

@AntEye85 @NHLRumourReport That WAS funny.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@IslesFix Dress him when they play Pittsburgh.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@IslesFix I’m curious if you’re quoting that because you think Anders Lee is still a top six player.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@uthockeypod @BagleyKSLsports @wolfenhlutah @stefen_rosner Lee is a great signing for one year. I don’t think the second or third year of his contract is going to kill you, but we are already seeing frightening escalation in AAV so cap space will become precious again in several years. That extra $5mm+ on a 39-year-old may cost you.

@NHLxForum Don’t you love when people say only the top 10 picks matter. Stats and averages are great, but a great team can be drafted from multiple rounds over multiple years.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@IslesFix I actually get this one. Horvat. Barzal. Palmieri. Holmstrom. Schenn. Eklund.

My answer is that they didn’t want to block Eklund as they view this as a valuable year for him to learn from some vets. Next year, Palms is up, year after, Schenn; vintage Palms = Eklund’s upside.

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Not a hater. Not a star. Love the solid trench guys. Loved his playoffs that one season in particular. Great guy. Love-love the song.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@stefen_rosner Writing was on the wall.
He wasn’t aggressive enough and the amount of time, in the end, can’t be justified. The only reason he stays so long is obvious. He’s a Detroit icon.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@FriedgeHNIC Lou is available.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@MichaelRosner4 Interesting. I don’t like the resolution of the island and the lighthouse but the color scheme is good. Why can’t one shoulder patch have the NY and another one an LI?
Somewhere on this third jersey has to be an LI.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@houston_brogan I was thinking, Anders would wear a proper QB number. This may be his last chance. Now he looks like he’s playing the o line.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@stefen_rosner I was hoping he would wear a proper QB number.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@AnaheimDucks This is not good for cap gymnasts but good for entertainment. That it started out in Philly (gave us the Broad St. Bullies, Lindros saga and Bob’s crazy contract) is the least shocking bit. Can’t wait to see the payback. Oooooweeeeee! Can’t wait!!!!

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@IslesDen I was a big Trevor Linden fan from his early Vancouver days and even I didn’t like that trade. It turned out worse than anyone thought the way Dirty Bert developed.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Question for Friday: was Palat hurt last year? I’ve heard nothing to that effect but I’m wondering if maybe he wasn’t 100%. Has anyone ever asked that question? He was injured the prior two seasons if I’m not mistaken, but I don’t know with what.

[Star Manlord @Starmanlord]

@NHLRumourReport If he can’t deal with the demands of Cronin or Quenneville, why would anyone think he can handle Rick Tocchet?
