Really wonder if Petan as second C wouldn't increase scoring... with Little being the spark for 3rd line ESW Perrault-Petan-Wheeler Matthias-Little-Armia Copp-Lowry-Stafford

And one more, possibly the worst, CFL.ca article to end the year... power rankings based on stadium and fanbase... Happy New Year - looks like 2017 will be the Riders' year... http://www.cfl.ca/2016/12/27/forward-thinking-whos-in-position-to-dominate-2017/

Great article... I do think $150k for Glenn with potential bonuses in there is fine - I think Calgary was paying him close to that. No? For those three, your base salaries are pretty much $600k and then $100k in bonus for whoever ends up starting... seems workable.

I just wonder what Glenn would sign for now...? $150k? $400, 250, 150... about the same as what Ottawa has tied up in QBs no?

But every team wants that situation... at every position...

The two teams in the finals have backups that could/should be legit starters in the league... Looking over his shoulder upped Hank's game and Tate ended up being fine supporting BLM. Nichols-Franklin-Glenn with Davis as 4th would be a pretty impressive lineup... start transitioning Glenn into QB or Receivers coach

Would have to make a deal with Vegas... can't see Fleury waiving his NTC to go to a losing team

Maybe DiPietro is making a come back

Gotcha

Tough to do with Murray injured and Fleury starting now... and Pens looking to repeat.

Need to pick three goalies... Unless something changes - Murray, Raanta, Subban So as usual, most of this thread is completely pointless...

No, it means neither have reached their 40/70 game requirement for the expansion draft. Vegas cannot pick them.

Maurice = Murdoch 2.0

So if the team isn't making the playoffs... why not just leave Hutch as our backup.

Interesting... it looks like Armia could play another 14 games before he's eligible for expansion draft. If Dano's out for the season, he might not qualify either...

Just out of curiosity... how do you interpret this. And I'm trying to be fair here. Player Exposure Requirements * All Clubs must meet the following minimum requirements regarding players exposed for selection in the Expansion Draft: i) One defenseman who is a) under contract in 2017-18 and played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons. ii) Two forwards who are a) under contract in 2017-18 and played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons. iii) One goaltender who is under contract in 2017-18 or will be a restricted free agent at the expiration of his current contract immediately prior to 2017-18. If the club elects to make a restricted free agent goaltender available in order to meet this requirement, that goaltender must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the club's protected list.

I feel less bad about clinging to my ELC argument now... you just don't understand the expansion draft at all. That's okay, it happens to the best of us.

That's intriguing if it would work... but then why wouldn't the Jets just start the season with Helle, Pavs, Hutch...?

Let's trade him for Karl Alzner. Then we'll win three in a row!

Shh. The Jets are pretending that his career is finished so that they can protect him from the expansion draft.
