I remember him at the WJC, he was a great combination of grit and skill. While we got Hamil that year they got Voracek 1st round and Legein 2nd round, a homerun on both I was thinking at the time. Here’s hoping he achieves his goal and gets back to the NHL as a Coach..

Personally I give management a pass on this one. I am surprised he got claimed and Subban has never been very impressive and it is hard to go into the season with a competitive team but with a back up goalie who isn't NHL ready or with 3 goalies (in which case the writer would be bitching that he needs to play to develop). Subban wouldn't have even been the starter in Providence. Maybe he turns into a good NHL goalie, I'd bet against it.

And as much as I have shit on DS, I do think he has a plan and he's sticking to it. That being said, seeing Subban added to the already ridiculously long list of 1st rounders we've sent packing is, well, just kind of sad. Whether, or not he turns into a stud remains to be seen, but there are plenty of other players on that list that probably should have been mainstays in Boston.

I think Paul Maurice is a horrible coach, yeah the goaltending was suspect but they have a talented team that apparently can't play team defense, can't stay out of the box and can't kill penalties. Byfuglien, Trouba, Myers, Morrisey, Enstrom and Kulikov, that's a starting six that 25 other teams would kill to have. There's a disconnect somewhere and I blame the coach.

They have underachieved and really Maurice has mostly been a loser in his career. Not sure why he keeps getting hired.

Calder Trophy odds, courtesy of Bodog. Joel Eriksson Ek in MIN is amongst a few I would've included. FWIW, I'll put a toonie on McAvoy.Bob McKenzie TSN Probably not smart bet by me. Only two D (Myers/Ekblad) have won Calder since 05. Keller/Hischier so dynamic, but McAvoy has special quality

He's such a smooth skater and his hockey instincts are high end as well. The only other that has a chance is Keller IMHO. For our American brothers who actually give a rats ass what a toonie is The "Toonie" the unofficial slang word for the Canadian two dollar coin. The word combines the number "two" with the name of the loonie, Canada's one-dollar coin. It is occasionally spelled "twonie" or "twoonie", but Canadian newspapers and the Royal Canadian Mint use the "toonie" spelling.

Those are our worst contracts though I would reverse the order. Beleskey is the worst contract imo. He is worth only a fraction of the 3.8 mil he is being paid. I'd take the Krejci contract over Backes, Backes is older and I fear will continue to decline faster, I think Krejci is better and is a bit younger.

I agree, Beleskey brings about the same as Tim Schaller at $775,000. Backes plays the game of a third line winger that can crash and bang and score a little, I'm being generous to Backes to say a guy like him should cost a max of 2 million a year. Krejci is a little older, little more injury prone, doesn't bring it every game anymore but when he does he still shows he's an elite playmaker. I hope when Bergeron gets back they go back to the lines from training camp. You can't play Krejci with two rookies all year.
