I didn't say he took too many. He just takes stupid penalties in the offensive zone. I watched him take a cross-checking penalty right in front of me at the Arizona game in the offensive zone for absolutely no reason, just cross-checked OEL right in the back. Granted OEL went down like a wet noodle and cried out like a baby, but it was just dumb. Anyway, Ladd is a good player, which is why his trade value right now is so high. He'd bolster anybody's team for a playoff run, especially when the refs aren't calling the chicken **** cross checking crap in front of the net that Ladd gets dinged for all too often.

I'm right about what? I didn't say he was a terrible hockey player. I think you are over-reacting a bit here.

I still don't understand why Kyle Connor wasn't on that US world Junior team. Makes no sense.

http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=221667 This guy appears to be ranked ahead of Matthews on some sites. Never heard of him either.

You shouldn't have used the plural. Just one person.

nope. Oh wait, I think I saw him playing for the US at the World Juniors. Looked good, but not good enough to give up Trouba or Myers to get him. Sorry.

whoopity do. Whoever this kid you are talking about is, not giving up Trouba to move up to get him.

ok - why? Who?

Matthews who?

this is kind of a moot point unless we all agree on who would go first overall. Who is the hottest prospect this year?

what are you talking about? Giving up Trouba or Myers just to move up a few spots in the draft is just crazy talk. Loony tunes.

no of course I wouldn't make that deal. That's like asking me for $20 and then making me take out your garbage and mow your lawn. But it sounds like Babcock might do that deal if Toronto got the first.

Or takes another stupid penalty in the offensive zone

that's awesome that Babcock thinks that - knowing this, there's only one thing to do - trade Enstrom to Toronto - RIGHT NOW

then throw in Burmi too. I just don't get the whole wanting to trade away our young defencemen like that. Perhaps I am still suffering PTSD from the Dave Babych trade...

I like how you guys want to just throw away Myers and/or Trouba but want to keep the useless Enstrom, all because you are married to this RHD/LHD theory. Enstrom should go in any deal where we are trying to get up the ladder. Save the future and deal the useless players like Enstrom.

Pavs and Ladd to St. Louis? Throw in Enstrom and Burmi too. If we could get Schwartz, a D man and some picks in return I'd be ecstatic. I also want Steen and Reaves in Winnipeg but that's mostly because I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

LOL. LHD? Left-handed drivers?

I think you mean statue. Like the one they erected of Jimmy Carter.

Sign Ladd for 5 years at 6 million and Stamkos for 8 years at $10 million a pop and the Cup is basically yours. As long as you have RHD who can play LHD if called upon.

you are in love with this guy! Every time you type his name this is all I hear:

Poolman is one of the later round picks the Jets got in 2013 when they traded their second rounder to Washington (who used it to draft Sanford).

yeah lets get Kyle Reaves, a pick and a near-ready prospect out of St. Louis. Not sure who on their prospect list is worth pursuing though...Vanelli?

Guess I'm dreaming to get two top prospects for Ladd on a rental eh? Although if this is true it may be interesting to turn the screws on Washington to see if they would match or go better.

Good because I was kidding. His actual name was Bobby Schmautz.
