4-5 first rounders

yikes. in todays game u need your first round picks, ask the blues they lost 7 of them in the 90's for signing a rfa, then a tampering charge, they had to build through the free agency and trade away prospect route, absolutely killed them in the end. u win by getting your franchise player through the draft and finding that sleeper in rounds 4-6.

gretzkys,lemieux, crosby, o, etc those guys arent around in the 2nd-5th rounds.

Dont be so hasty....we're gonna suck this year too.

Ducks decline the Penner offer sheet, receive three picks as compensation...

There's not much left in the offseason but this might be the biggest surprise of the summer...Jeremy Roenick isn't retiring and signs a one-year deal with Sharks.

Is getting 500 goals this important for him?

Look at it this way...the longer he plays the less time he has to annoy us with his commentary.

Blues to make a deal within the weekend. speculation from strickland.


the blues have major depth at defense, and i expect them to move 1 for a center or another forward.


jackman could be moved, he will bring a lot in return, and the blues already have his replacement(ej). Polak has already proven he will take a spot in the top6, so they have 9-10 dman, and tanabe is a walk on tryout, so a dman being moved seems inevitable.
