Tampa had nearly as many wins in their second year as Ottawa had in their first three combined But since that original playoff year, the Sens only missed the playoffs 4 times until their recent struggles. The Lightning missed 9 outta 10 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there was nothing that supported that it played any role in getting him traded. He is a smart guy and loves the arts. My understanding is that it was just something that someone said something on Twitter or the radio and it became one of those urban legend type things. I'll never forget it given how preposterous it sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 lol the first two picks of the '92 expansion draft played 23 career games the rest of their career after that initial season with Ottawa/Tampa Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about him being a locker room cancer and going to museums when teammates were going out together. Was part of him being a "reclusive" teammate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Saint Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 12 hours ago, beekay414 said: What were the details? It was the Calgary media being a cancer. Apparently he wasn’t well liked in the locker room here in Alberta because he wasn’t a typical hockey player. His interests weren’t going to bars and such only but he also liked going to museums and so obviously he won’t work out in Calgary. it was propped up rubbish that was part mental gymnastics to trade him. Worked on the fact that Boston traded him too (for a different reason however). If you can afford it, 8x8 for him would be a good deal. He’s going to age pretty well for a D man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershey and Lehigh Valley are two of the top AHL teams and we played them the majority of our schedule. 22 games against Hershey and Lehigh Valley, 2 games against Utica. So 24 games against top 9 AHL competition with a young team raided all season due to Covid protocols. The growth from the youth was good and that's all that matters.

beekay414 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Edmonton down 2-0 to the Jets, somehow. So, that Kulikov pick is trending to be a 4th rounder unless the Oilers can rattle off 4 of the next 5.

beekay414 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) If Vancouver wants to clear cap space, I'd take Loui Eriksson's last year for their 2nd round pick, which falls in at 41 I believe.

I don't think I would. I'm just not into that type of move right now. I'd rather spend six million on a quality player than a second round pick, and unfortunately the draft happens before free agency. There are some workable deals for #9 though.

I don't think Loui's $6 Million would effect us at all. We'd still have $31 Million left to use with nothing but likely bridge deals being done. We're in a great position and Loui's contract wouldn't hinder us whatsoever. Edited May 23, 2021 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
