Why wouldn't we try ans sell a Higgins to the oilers. They need a veteran for their second/third line, and we need a high 2nd round pick!!

Let's face it Patrick Kane is the best player in the game right now. His IQ, patience with the puck, ability to slow the game down, to control the play, vision is something we haven't seen since Gretzky. Not saying he is Wayne but he is similar

Still hate the yank

Pascal Dupius calls it quits due to blood clot issues.

Will be placed on LTIR until his contract expires in about 2 or 3 seasons from now.

Corrado camp said to be upset with how the leaves are handling his situation. If they don't intend to play him he wants to be waived. Could be an NHLPA grievance coming.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I've asked this before, but I still don't get it....

If the Leaves do waive him, does Vancouver get first crack? And if Vancouver does have first crack, can they immediately send him to Utica without clearing waivers again?

Would Vancouver claim him? IF they can send him to Utica then they'd be stupid not to.

The answers are YES, YES, and YES.

(the first two are for sure, the last one is IMO)

I've answered these questions in this forum before, don't recall who was asking...

Fuck Buffalo has a good young Dman in their stable who'd be good in stinky whale coloured gear.
Rasmus Roustilainen

Good luck prying him out of their hands...watching him against the lames right now and the kid will be a gem. I guess he's probably not a big secret but man is he what the Canucks need.
If you need air...call it in
