Caps fan here. Worried about Nate Schmidt. I like the kid and think he's potentially first line talent in the future. Got a soft spot for defense men that can shoot. Mike Green-esque. Philipp Grubauer also worries me, not because we need him, we have a Vezina Trophy winner who until this year had the best all time save percentage in NHL playoff history (second still ain't bad). He's a potential huge trading chip and it feels nice having one of the best backups in the NHL. It'd be a prayer answered if they took Shittykirk, he was good for the Blues, not so much for us. Taking a UFA, or RFA counts as a pick. I'm rooting for GM-GM (GM George McPhee), I hope LV does great, if your a SIGforum member George, please take Orpik or Shattenkirk, please, pretty please. So who's got you sweating? Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | ||

I hope the B's don't lose Colin Miller. He has a lot of upside. I would prefer they take Spooner. Or more ideally Belesky or Hayes but that ain't gonna happen.

Well I wish the Wings would just blow the whole thing up and start over. I'm glad they exposed kronwall. Even though Vegas is not going to take him, it shows their attitude is changing. I wish they hadn't exposed Glendening. He has a ton of heart, grit, and is just a great fourth line guy. Goalies, we're protecting our old has-been in Jimmy Howard, but I'm actually really hoping Vegas takes ou the guy who was supposed to be our goalie of the future, Petr Mrazek. He's too arrogant, not good for the team, and not as good of a player as we thought. Anyway, I'm about as happy as I can be knowing my team has faded into Oblivion. | |||

Not as worried about the draft as the salary cap. Really want to keep Oshie. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac | |||

Wild Fan here - I'm worried about Staal - Fletcher (our GM) 'paid' protection (in the form of a prospect) for an agreement from LV that they wouldn't go after Dumba. Sounds like we might lose Haula anyway since he was a restricted free agent. Sigh. I reject your reality and substitute my own. --Adam Savage, MythBusters | |||

I'm worried about Raanta. Hank is getting older and seems to have lost some of his quickness in net. It makes sense not to put Hank up but I don't want to lose the young talent. With fleury up as well my Rangers may be ok. | |||

The B's aren't beyond trading great players for almost nothing.....reference the Boychuk trade to NYI and Milan Lucic to Vancouver. I wouldn't put it past them to trade away a better defenseman like McQuaid or forward like Krejci. If they gotta wheel and deal for the expansion draft, I'd rather see the following D go: Joe Morrow John-Michael Liles (sounds like a country singer) I agree with your assessment on Beleskey and Hayes.

They also left Fast unprotected. The Rangers have two good goalies in the minors, but Raanta is ready for prime time. I agree that Hank isn't as quick as he used to be, and it's starting to show. _____________________________ 'I'm pretty fly for a white guy'. | |||

Expect more transactions tomorrow after 8 am, when the trade window reopens. Here's what I've seen so far(rumors etc.): Anaheim - Clayton Stoner (& Shea Theodore) Chicago - Trevor van Riemsdyk (& Marcus Kruger) Columbus - William Karlsson Dallas - Cody Eakin Detroit - Thomas Nosek LA - Brayden McNabb Minnesota - Erik Haula Nashville - James Neal Ottawa - Marc Methot Pittsburgh - Marc-Andre Fleury St Louis - David Perron Toronto - Brendan Leipsic Washington - Nate Schmidt or Phillipp Grubauer Other teams, I'm seeing different names & speculation. There may also be other enticements attached to these players - drafts picks, future considerations, etc to avoid certain players.Some may be flipped to another team. The wheeling & dealing will continue friday & saturday with the Entry Draft. Few adds: NYI - J.F. Berube NYR - Oscar Lindberg Philadelphia - Pierre-Edouard Bellemare More: Florida - Jonathan Marchessault Tampa - Jason Garrison Calgary - Derek Engelland Edmonton - Griffin Reinhart “Agnostic, gun owning, conservative, college educated hillbilly” | |||

For the Wild - Haula and Staal. Hopefully they will grab some other guys and leave us alone. | |||

According to Michael Russo, Haula is a done deal.

Well that was my worst fear. GMGM brought him here to begin with. Watch, he'll be a star. I really wish they took Grubauer instead. We will likely have to trade him now anyways to get a new defensemen. We don't pick till fourth round this year and have nothing else to trade and no one in Hershey. We have a good young prospect in AHL, who's name escapes me now. We could have afforded to loose Grubauer way more than Nate. Fudge! Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||
