Thread: 18-19 Opening Night Roster
Few things:

1) Spezza will be the 2C to start the year. Whether he stays there long is TBD, but every indication from those close to the Stars is that he's going to get a chance to re-energize his career as the Stars 2C. Faksa will be the 3C

2) Given how well they played together last season, I'm almost positive that Pitlick and Faksa will remain together. That 3rd line of Comeau-Faksa-Pitlick is going to serve as the primary shutdown line for Dallas. That line worked really well last year, and they got better with the upgrade of Comeau over Roussel.

3) Top-4 on the defense look good, but Heiskanen will start the year in the NHL. Kid is too to play in the AHL. He's currently one of the best players in the world not playing in the NHL.

4) On the right side, Polak was picked up as a 7th defenseman. Barring injury or terrible play, he won't see much ice time. Honka will start the season as the Stars 3rd Pair RHD, likely paired with Heiskanen.

Thread: Boston Bruins Active Draft Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>of the players on taht list, Chiarelli has traded two. Vlad Sobotka, and Tyler Seguin. Two. One of whom was in Russia in a couple years. The other brought a 30-30 two way forward and a presidents trophy team.

You're an idiot. The guy brought the Bruins from 5th worst in the league to a perennial power house in just a couple years, and built the entire team himself with the exception of Bergeron, who he re-signed....twice.

All he did was draft 18 of those guys, and build an elite cup contending team that had a solid 6 year window. That's very impressive in this age.

Learn before you type, bud.</div></div>

He also trade Kessel but that one was a terrific trade and terrible for Burke. I give credit where its due and I think a lot of the good players that are there are due to other guys work.

I thought he traded Hamilton as well but I was mistaken.

However, the Seguin trade was terrible and he's made a lot of other questionable calls as well. Hall for Larson, Gryba etc.

I think he got lucky in Boston. Had a good group to start with and then hit a grand slam on the Kessel deal and won a cup. He then systematically messed it all up with the seguin trade and was very soon fired.

Now he's in Edmonton trying to understand why trading fast talented forwards for big slow bruisers doesn't win cups anymore.

He's one of the worst GM's in the league.
