    This is correct. They don't like Rossi. They reluctantly gave him a shot at top line center and results were ok, but I think I could score goals playing alongside Kaprizov. Hartman is a better fit and provides grit and ass-holiness to that line. Hartman is capable of scoring, so if he can win...

    Ohgren and Rossi are sunk costs. You don't hold onto players just because they were high draft choices. Ohgren will never be anything more than middling (no disrespect - he's an NHL player and I play beer league). Rossi has a higher ceiling, but for whatever reason, they didn't like him...

    It works, if you have an elite puck carrier. We have KK, Boldy (not quite as good), Hughes and JoJo (2nd unit). Those guys can all reliably force the entry without dumping the puck - either by weaving past everyone or dropping it to someone just across the line. BUT - I agree, you can't just...

    Just got done watching the game. Was on blackout while I played 2 1/2 hours of Pond Hockey on opening day for the Minneapolis outdoor rinks. Got a great game going with some of the usual suspects out there from last winter. Looks like my "prediction" worked to negate the jinx! I went to the...

    Thanks for posting, TGIFriday. Ironic, because I literally watched the one on Buium 3 days ago. Didn't know about Zeev's brothers. Hate to see Zeev go. He's got such high potential and he's already electric. Great hands, great speed, developing vision. Sky is the limit. Very sad to see him go.

    Yep, exactly. I heard it on their post-game radio show. I know guys at the station, so sometimes tune in.

    They can cut him for 15. Dead cap hit flips after next season.

    Faber played great but that was a very poor play to get the shot blocked. The only guy on the ice with gas in the tank pounced on it.

    Thanks. I needed that. I'll tell ya, that Buium sure looks electric out there. And I like what I see out of Tarasenko so far.

    Can somebody please score some goals and can we please get more shots on goal? Thank you.

    And since they are breaking huddle with only 10-12 seconds remaining on the play clock, that gives very little time for an inexperienced QB to make reads and alter protection or the play. They should try a more hurry-up style of play calling, so he can stand there and look at the defense...

    Reactionary much? I highly doubt this rumor is credible.

    Taylor Fritz is currently ranked #4 at age 27. Ben Shelton is ranked #6 at age 22. If either were a player in any team sport (e.g., NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA), you would be calling them elite. Or are there only 3 or less elite players in each of those sports?

    Is there anything prohibiting a significant rise in pay in years 4-8, if they were to want to sign him long term? Stay below the cap until it rises. Same $$ (maybe have to do time-value of money calculation), but spread out to the advantage of the team. Why couldn't they offer him that and...
