Joe Sakic has been an absolutely phenomenal GM. And I know the mother of a female orthopedic doc who works for the team who says Sakic is incredibly nice to be around and work for.
THAT'S how you run an organization. Smart, shrewd, gutsy and good to all your employees.
WTF Pucky?!?!
Here's my post from 6/3:
"3. Chicago-- Turcotte-from Chicago, emulates Toews
4. Colorado-- Cozens (drafted Makar, so hopefully leave Byram alone)
5. LA-- Byram (hell yes!)"
Is Stunner buying you dinner every night and fetching your slippers?!?
LMAO
Hockey Prospect Black Book sees Cozens more as a winger.
"Cozens is an explosive duel-threat center who we think is more suited to the wing. The reason we suggest that he’s more
likely to translate as a winger is due to his hockey-sense. In order to become a dominant-center who can drive play...
LVK most coddled team ever, from conception through now.
Did everyone catch that shot of Gallant in game 6(?) after PK got scored on giving thumb's up and telling ref "Good one! You got us"
I was screaming at him GOT YOU?!?! You have the most coddled franchise EVER you asswipe!
The Kings have big decisions to make this offseason, so who stays and who goes?
There’s little to no doubt that there will be changes for the Kings next season — potentially major ones.
This isn’t lost on a core that has mostly been together through two Stanley Cup runs and some of the...
My exact immediate reaction
NJ and NYR are both NYC market
Both NJ and NYR are on MSG network
Chicago is 2nd largest hockey market and maybe first nationwide in popularity
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
.25% chance of NYR picking 2nd and Chi picking 3rd
HORRIBLE for the game
GREAT for...
Absolute bullshit!
Kings and NHLPA should appeal immediately.
The man has served his punishment time AND has been unable to make at a living at his profession in the league he is qualified to play in for almost 4-1/2 years.
Totally ridiculous and un-American.
Muzzin (Part 2)
Muzzin had to evolve again once he hit the AHL. Muzzin admits that as ready as he was physically for the NHL, he wasn’t mentally prepared for the transition from junior to pro.
“He was trying to play the game like he always played the game, but against better players,” said...

WOODSTOCK, Ont. – As the Greater Toronto Area disappears in your rearview mirror, Highway 401 toward Woodstock, Ont., flattens out.
Only a few barns and fields of untouched snow dot the landscape. As the city of 40,000 draws...
Yep, giveaway led to 1st Nashville goal...same thing we saw too often here.
I hope that 1st round pick and Grunderson turn into gold...would be so sweet.
In '09 Kings take Schenn with 7th pick in 1st round; the player chosen 8th......Ekman-Larsson!!!
Whoops! Should read 5th and 6th picks in 1st round, respectively...
With Lose 4 Hughes (and how will the Kings will blow this 3rd period lead? or how many empty nets did the Kings miss tonight?) the only interesting things left about this season, I was looking back at old drafts.
In '08 Kings take Doughty 2nd in 1st round, then Voynov 2nd in 2nd round---damn...
That 3rd goal was absolutely BRUTAL
I was screaming at the tv...hard to watch even though I know the right thing is to keep losing to hope to get Hughes or the Finnish guy with the funny last name
You guys may already know this but I just read this for the first time...
Vegas is exempted from the Seattle expansion draft!!!!! WTF WTF WTF WTF
This means they don't have to worry about protecting players because they aren't going to lose any.
This is UNBELIEVABLE.
It can also lead to a...
Per Twitter:
@FriedgeHNIC said earlier on pregame before jets game he expects Carl Hagelin to be traded to Washington for Jaskin and a 3rd round pick tomorrow
