we always take these baby faced players who fans think will be the next Linden when they finally make the team

this kid played in for canada in the under 18 right?

yep

In gillis we trust!

I feel that Luongo probably wont get moved this weekend.. just my take..

Kesler lite?

feels like it. trade this kid and grab coho again :concentrate:

Well Gillis did just say, we may keep both goalies. The offers aren't there and teams aren't desperate yet. I think if a deal comes by this summer they take it, otherwise, they wait until the season when teams see that their goalie situation is shit.

I don't see why they would have been in a rush to pick up Jordan. They aren't cup contenders with or without him. They could have got him for free next offseason

guess tim thomas will just retire after his year off is up hahahaha

Pitt has dealt Z. Michalek to Phx in exchange for prospect Harrison Ruopp plus a 3rd-round pick this year (81st) and goalie Marc Cheverie.

Pens are really clearing cap space to make a run at Parise

Speculation Rangers are going to make a hard push for Nash too to keep up with the Jones'

Trade booth and Raymond for bobby Ryan

Why the fuck would Anaheim do this? Booth makes 800k less then Ryan does and Ryan is twice the player.

You think every trade has exact value in return?

^ well do you really believe that is the best offer Anaheim will get for Bobby Ryan ?

parise? Ive read they want suter (atleast his rights anyway..)

The Pens already got Sutter :troll:

I think once it's said and done, those two plus a pick would be equivalent value

reunion :')

A good draft pick, this Gaunce kid. -has the potential to be a sold 2 way forward. -comparisons of Gaunce with Jordan Staal, Dubinsky, Kesler.


Hockeywriters.com article: Brendan Gaunce

Second-line two-way center with leadership intangibles

Strengths:


- Mature Leader with high character
- Strong Positioning
- Elite Conditioning
- Advanced hockey sense
- Imposing size
- Hard accurate shot
- Versatile

The kid is strong as an ox: -made headlines at the 2012 NHL Draft Combine posting top finishes in several tests including leg power (1st), right (4th) and left hand grip (6th), body weight pushups (7th), pull strength (5th) and upper body power throw (2nd)

Flaws/Aspects He Needs To Work On:

- Improve skating (first step quickness and agility)
- Improve puck handling skills
- Maintain intensity to fully utilize his imposing frame

Adding Raymond detracts from the trade value of Booth.

low blow on Mayray j/k, or am I?

Jesus fucking christ :facepalm:
