They have made a couple below average defensemen look decent over past 2 seasons, OEL and Nate Schmidt.

Marchand’s been a good player since he came into the league full time in 2011. Some 1100 games ago. Playing with Bergeron certainly didn’t hurt.

Hoping to see Columbus take a nice step forward this season.

It’s amazing when you get just the right mix of players together with the right coach, it leads to a lot of success.

Me too, they’re finally headed in the right direction and it primarily comes from drafting.

Goaltending is the most important position in hockey.

Gotta love the way Florida plays. I would take that style over shiny hockey, all day, everyday.

Best team in the league and it ain't close.

Well I came out money ahead from the playoffs. Bet on the Panthers to win as soon as they beat the Lightning. Also bet on them winning in 6

Nice.

I had the Panthers in 7.
Bet against the Oil every series and eventually got that one right

After they beat LA I had a sinking feeling they were going to the finals again. But the way Florida was playing right away in round 1 I also felt like no one was stopping them. Hilarious that the Leafs came the closest

And how has Calgary done since then? I think you move heaven and earth to keep the player.

That's really irrelevant if the player has decided he's not going to stay regardless. Are you saying if you were the GM and could receive a good haul for Hughes you would turn it down on a prayer that you could re-sign him?

I think QH's value right now is pretty much as high as it will be for the next few seasons.

They really aren't that far.

I thought Toronto vs Florida was a series between the 2 best remaining teams. My top 4 going into the playoffs were Florida, Toronto, Dallas, and Colorado.

The Oilers can beat anyone if they get stellar goaltending, but they are not deep at all especially without Hyman.

In case anyone is interested, a couple people have gone over to hockey hotstove. If you end up there, go into forums and you can scroll down to Canucks.
