AIM-11 134 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Florida's catch is not a whole lot of depth defensively or offensively. True, but some of their young guys will fix that. Ekblad has been amazing on many nights, and guys like Trochek are really impressing. It's going to take moving a couple of the contracts liie Flash and Soupy to really make things happen there. It's a good time to be a Panthers fan right now. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/12151-2014-2015-nhl-discussion/page/22/#findComment-150994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIM-11 134 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not sure why they threw so much at Bolland. Not one of their finest moments for sure, but they are still a bottom 10 cap team, even with that gross contract. Hopefully he comes back and earns some of that money.

Hopefully he comes back and earns some of that money. They do have some good pieces in there for sure. They just need some legit stars in order to make them a more competitive team. Getting a guy like Luongo back is great for sure, as well as Willie Mitchell as a great veteran presence on D. Jussi Jokinen is a legit scorer for sure as well, and they have great young guys trying to burst into their potential like Barkov, Huberdeau, Bjugstad, and Ekblad. Ekblad is already proving to be what everyone wants. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/12151-2014-2015-nhl-discussion/page/22/#findComment-151065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 11,021 Posted November 20, 2014 Admin Share Posted November 20, 2014 No team in the NHL actively tanks. If you want to see how to tank properly, look at the 76ers last season. Actively traded away every single veteran and after the deadline they filled their roster with literally different guys each week. Team like the Oilers, Panthers, etc... have all had some combination of problems with management, lacking the ability to attract quality free agents, or lack of strong ownership. Just because a team is bad does not mean they're tanking. Yeah they could all learn from VHL GMs. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/12151-2014-2015-nhl-discussion/page/22/#findComment-151151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIM-11 134 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The Oilers also played a good 20-30 seconds with only 4 players on the ice. Hilariously pathetic.

TheFlash 317 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Glad I picked Schneider in my pool. I was worried at first, didn't take my goalie until my top choices were gone but he's done well.

AIM-11 134 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Iginla is on a 40 point pace and historically (as in almost every single season) starts really slow. 50 point is still easily within reach or him and he'll provide decent leadership. All of Colorado sucks right now as well. Oh wait, you asked for a hockey expert? Sorry, not me then.

Probably not going to be too bad for the next couple years, but it's well documented that when power forwards age they nose dive. Tough toll on their bodies.

Kendrick 4,741 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 This was refreshing to see. So I will recap. Prout comes in and throws a hit on a Bruin, Lucic lost his stick when Prout threw the hit. Lucic doesn't like that and decides to throw two flying fists at Prouts neck area. Prout turns around and drops em with Lucic who gets one punched. Lucie gets up mad (like a baby) and while still clutching Dalton Prouts sweater, swipes a left at Prout's face. Then throws his gloves like a child in attempt to hit Lucic. Sounds like a bitch Jimmy, tell em what he's won!

I was happy to see someone knock him down a peg or two.
