plenzmd1 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 What are your trade rumors and speculations? It seems traded are starting to happen and I imagine Murray has a few guys he wants to clear out and a few targets to bring in. I can see him willing to trade off most any veteran on this team including gionta. I think he has his captain in waiting with RoR. ROR and Eichel...only untouchables in my mind. Foligno and McGinn should get some play I would think. Good " jam " guys for a playoff team. Not a team in the league would take Gionta .. At least I don't think so. Maybe get a decent return for Larrson.

plenzmd1 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Ristolainen said "Hello." you sir are CORRECT! Was just about to get off plane and was doing quick...so 3 untouchables1
GG Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Much more fun watching this team this year. But that's why the losses are more frustrating. One more lottery ticket
26CornerBlitz Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 @BuffaloSabres That'll do it from Chicago. Final shots on goal 45-29 Hawks. #BUFvsCHI Diving on Panarin? Yes. Tripping on Risto? NFW!

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 This team would look really nice with Matthews or one of those Finns at the draft, get another top4 defenseman, shed more deadweight and for the love of God score on your scoring chances. I feel like we are just a season or 2 behind the Panthers on the development curve.
plenzmd1 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) How about Reinhart?! Kidding me?Reinhardt in some kind of package for Stamkos? Done. Reinhart str8 up for Druin? I mean losin for Druin seems like yesterday. I like Sammy too, but he sure as chit ain't untouchableHe tripped over the red line!For the love of God, why can't they ever call just the dive? And I know Risto gets schooled first, but Johnson again in a tie game spits it. I wonder if we would be in the playoff race with just slight better than average goalie play. Roby thought so the other day on the radio...I tend to agree. Edited January 9, 2016 by plenzmd1

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Kane had some serious poetic justice at the end of the game. Make the ultimate team first play to give Samson the empty net hatty. That must drive those classy jets fans crazy.
