Yeah I get what you mean but that's pretty much the case every time you acquire a star player.. You have to hope they will be able to re sign him. Dorion apparantly has a good relation with Duchene's agent ( Pat Brisson ) so that's good news.

Relationship is one thing, will we have the money and/or cap space after Stone and Karlsson?

EK is getting 11.5 mil at least

It made me lol a little bit when I saw that : Derek Grant is currently the Ducks #1 center with Getzlaf and Kesler injured

Seems like Smith will be there instead off Dzingel.

Duchene - Hoffman
Brass - Stone



Just missing Bobby and they are saying Dorion is looking for another wing.

Dzingel - Pageau - Pyatt is a pretty speedy line 3. Ideally Smith would move to bottom 6

So it sounds like we're giving Nick Paul his shot at making the roster to fill our hole at LW. If he doesn't do well it sounds like Dorion could use Paul as trade bait for a more NHL ready forward.

Pulling for Paul, our last hope of any value from the Spezza trade

I'm hoping that Paul works out as well but at this point if he doesn't work with us I don't think he has much value

nervously optimistic about the future checking in

Yeah, well I just listened to an interview and they were saying he was easily Belleville's best player so far so they are giving him a chance. I'm so excited for Friday lol I'll have to stream it at work or leave early:(

swedes are beautiful

Not a good start eh
