Thread: Full Season Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I know 3 things. No way no how the TML end up with 127pts there isn’t a planet that exists that the Blues beat the Avs in the playoffs and the rest of the league is playing for conference finals spots after COL and TB.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>127 points from a team isnt going to happen this year. Just in general the top teams are weaker this year, where everyone but Carolina got worse, than they were last and the middling teams are stronger.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>If you think Toronto gets that many points then you should bet murray for Vezina</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>editor9999</b></div><div>127 points for a team with very suspect goaltending???</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sens65</b></div><div>You're saying a team with Matt Murray and Ilya Samsonov is getting 127 points?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>127 points is insane.

4 years ago Tampa got 128 points with 62 wins. Toronto while a good team are not have anywhere close to the caliber of that Tampa team</div></div>


Maybe a little generous, but TOR had 115 last year with jack Campbell who I think is very overrated, and believe matt Murray and Samsonov are just as good, if not better than Campbell and Mrazek.
Come back when they have 120+

Thread: wtf is going on here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aussie_Blackhawk</b></div><div>you just lost Burns, why would you need to dump a D man? We are rebuilding, so yes we are moving on from a lot of guys to allow the younger guys a chance to develop, we also have new management stamping their blueprint across the lineup. Obtaining a guy like Simek isn't high on the priority so for that to happen we would need to be paid.

No disrespect to Simek but you can probably get a guy with his output on a much cheaper deal and not be tied up for the 2 years.

We also have a lot of D in the pipeline and guys who are pegged to get a shot. We didn't sign any D Free agents as a priority for a reason.</div></div>

Fair enough, Just looking to dump him somewhere, San jose also has a ton of LHD who jumped simek in the depth pool

Thread: Opening Night Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>crankshaft</b></div><div>Tierney is a huge mistake especially at that price. Gregor in the top six is also not going to work as we need goals. No way Vancouver takes Dahlen back - he was traded because there was a riff between himself and the Canucks org. Spending over 5 mil on bottom six pieces when our bottom six was already fine. That money needs to go to a top six RW like Perron. I'd skip the season if this were the opening night lineup.</div></div>

First off The bottom six was brutal last year... Tierney is a very reliable depth piece who a lot of the guys on the team are still really close with. For Dahlen it's mostly anywhere that would take him and I believe Van would be a good fit due to the chem between him and Petey as well as fellow swede OEL &amp; the Vancouver organization is way different than what it was when he was there. As well Gregor is going to break out, he was our best player a lot of nights last year, as soon as he finds his scoring touch he will be a very good player. Getting Lebanc back, Eklund stepping in and the young guys getting better as well as a new coach "hopefully" the scoring will improve
