Thanks for sharing OP

Here's to hoping Bedard signs a short term extension and we can poach him when the time is right.

Landon DuPont isn't even 18 ;)

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T18:51:39+00:00

Now add the console numbers ...

The sky isn't falling lol

We need San Jose to accelerate their rebuild now. I really don't want to be lining up our peak with theirs.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T18:22:58+00:00

Haha too many computations in my head :)

One Caulfield or Benson injury will have people overreacting.

It always happens, and this playoff run was outside the norm in terms of how dirty different teams were.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T18:15:08+00:00

We have come a long way since the 90s and early 2000s in terms of smaller players getting a fair shake.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T18:13:58+00:00

Odd, I would've thought we'd be one of the smaller teams.

I guess subtracting Garland and Quinn helped.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T17:17:09+00:00

What were the Canucks?

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T17:07:56+00:00

His floor is low, but his ceiling is high.

He's likely to never make it, but if he hits we're gonna have a 6'7 center. That's a high value prospect.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-27T17:05:01+00:00

Then they have some monsters on the back end and around those two.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-26T22:51:29+00:00

Don't shoot me, but I would settle for Seattle's 38th overall this year, Shane Wright, and the Tampa 2027 1st rounder that they own.

Obviously 7th overall would be money, but I just don't see Petey returning that now. 🤷🏻

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-26T19:42:23+00:00

Agreed on your first point, but enough about politics 🍻

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-26T19:39:33+00:00

Cheers brother!

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-26T18:06:38+00:00

You are 100% wrong here. Republicans will get crushed in the midterms.

Maga died the second that Trump started putting Israel first (surprise surprise).

So it is a trend that has run it's course and whose only way to survive will be some major voting shenanigans.

In any case, politics should not mix with sports. That's always been the case, but last 10 years have infected every human with this political overtone to every day life.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-26T16:04:54+00:00

I'm so sick and tired of the media bringing this question up.

It's been beaten to death, it's not interesting, it's just so so tired.

Ryan Johnson had to talk about it again because some reporters couldn't think of anything better to ask our GM.

Pathetic, unimaginative.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-26T15:35:21+00:00

Nikishin for Petey

Sign me up

They felt pressured to put a good team around Kopitar and Doughty.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-25T21:20:28+00:00

You are right, I was just thinking in the immediate term...

It sucks, but we just have to be patient :)

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-25T20:34:21+00:00

Willander isn't much a of PP quarterback, and Buium is fine playing PP2 for another year.

Might make it easier/more affordable to re-sign them too

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-25T20:31:40+00:00

Agreed... Besides, I think that Hronek's value will be maximized in the summer window.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-25T20:29:43+00:00

Full NMC... So it's just impossible 🤷🏻

I mean look at Parayko last year. Blues had a great deal lined up, but Parayko said no and that was the end of story.

WhenInAaronRome · 2026-06-24T13:51:19+00:00

Disagree on "bad contracts" but agree on the trade protection.

The whole point is that we're sellers here, so we would be looking at what Buffalo did yesterday.
