Can't believe it hasn't effected his game this year. He's on fire right now.

so, almost 30 games in to the season. any thoughts?
my Flyers still suck. they had a bit of a run going and then back to shit town. i'm 95% sure Hexy can get us back on track but how many years until? and my home town team of the Avs are bottom dwellers so far. wtf? they are super talented up front. need some more D.
well, enough griping from me.
anybody else??

Were all in the same boat I'm afraid. The dreaded re-build is at hand. My Bruins D sucks
this year. 2 surprises are Frank Vatrano (undrafted and invited to camp) and I have to
say the backup goalie Gustafson (sp?). I don't think the Bruins are in a full re-build but
other than slow Chara and Seidenberg they have nobody on D.

i've kinda been hearing issues with re-signing Stamkos but not sure what the issue is. is he asking for too much or does he want a change of scenery?

i wouldn't mind going to the stadium series in Denver this year. might be fun. my luck will be -20 degrees with -50 wind chill if i do get tix. lol.

There's rumours here that he wants to come home and the endorsement deals he has lined up would make it stupid to not b a leaf. Plus he hates the coach and they resigned him long term.
I hope the leafs do get him.

you and all of YYZ would love to get him.

He has to make enough to equal out the exchange rate in Toronto. One thing's for sure
it would make them contenders for sure! How are they with the cap? I'm sure they could
make some room but they need to keep their talent on the front end to make a difference.

Lucic run's hot and cold. It depends if he's engaged or not. Unfortunately he never was able
to be consistent for a full season. I don't think he will ever get back to who he was early in his
career with the B's. He's still a valuable piece in the playoff's though.

Slammin' the like button on that one! Toronto is one of the original 6 and needs
to be competitive every year, it's good for the league.

all of the O 6 needs to be good year in and year out. it's good for the league and hockey in general. i think the league is too big in my opinion. and they are adding 2 more teams preobably which will further diminish the talent level league wide. but money talks.

I would imagine it will be a big contract but I forgot about the Horton contract and Robidas.
You think Phanuf will be back? Could bring a decent prospect close to the deadline. What
about Van Reimsdike(sp?) and Khadri?

I think if the league is serious about upping the talent level league wide expansion might be ok.
As long as it means 60 more talented kids from junior or ncaa.
If it means 60 more Jon scotts then I will be disappointed.
Poor guy is being mocked by leading the Allstar voting and can barely skate.

Me and kadri are tied in goals for currently I believe so I doubt they resign him.
Phaneuf is unreadable imho that contract is insane for what he produces.
Jvr I would keep and play with stamkos and either marner or nylander.
Stamkos will become the highest paid player in the league July 1st.
