I agree, IMO Vigneault needs to go too. This is the new NHL, where the classic clutch and grab defensive style that won cups in the late 90s and early 00s will only land you in the penatly box with chintzy calls. Plus, what kind of a coach has his team sit on a 2-0 lead (as he said in an interview a...

It's funny because when we drafted him, it seemed like a big dropoff from Brad Stuart, and especially after Stuart got off to a good start to his career with the Sharks, while Bryan suffered a serious injury and had his development stunted by at least a couple of years. Looking back, Allen IMO is cl...

You are forgetting the Professor. (I won't mention Krutov.) Wouldn't take anything away from Larionov. His generation of USSR regime players (Fetisov, Konstantinov, Makarov etc) were grateful to be here and played with true character. Mayor McKrutov aside, they were awesome to watch and gave us a r...

Even before this transfer agreement BS, how many Russians that we have drafted have made it to the team? Chubarov and Bure are the only ones. Bure was a special case (he would have been a top 3 pick if his situation was clear), and Chubarov was a fairly high pick too (early 2nd rounder - 32 or 33 ov...

Nonis said on TSN, and I found this to be the most intriguing part of the interview, that he is working on improving the team, and not meaning UFA signings. So if deals are potentially in the works, they'll either involve trading picks/prospects for young forwards, or trading salary for cap space (i...

1. Please, explain why our CHL scouting is so poor. Why is it that a Canadian team with not one, but TWO CHL franchises hasn't drafted an impact player (eg first line player or top pairing d-man) out of the CHL since 1988? 2. Why is it also, that we continue to draft Russians in our later rounds whe...

The real funny thing about the deadline deals are that the teams that actually made them also made the playoffs for the first time in a long while (Thrahsers and Islanders), and Detroit also won the Western Conference regular season. So they aren't completely useless, depending on where you set the...

The scariest thing about Turco is his puck handling and how it will set up their transition game. Their D is also pretty sick. Norstrom scares me, as do Morrow and of course Modano. Sydor I don't think is as good as he used to be, but he is a winner. Boucher is solid at both ends, and Robidas has pl...

CGY over DET in 6 I think Detroit will choke again in the first round. Flames will turn the physicality up and beat them, with Kipper as the deciding factor.. Bertuzzi vs. Flames D should be great to watch. ANA over MINNY in 6 Minny has been awesome and so has Backstrom, but Pronger played so well l...

IMO the HF Futurewatch rankings always have me scratching my head, but they are as good as any list, I suppose. They always seem to go hard on the AHL guys and overweight WJC performances. Happy to see Grabner on that list, though I'd put my money on Mason Raymond being the better NHLer seeing as ho...
