when i first saw the headline i feared a massive over payment was in the details. Actually had to read it a second time to make sure it was that little. Nothing not to like here.

 

Only thing I believe in reading about his agent is that his number might be closer to 8mln but i can stomach that for a 25 year old plus just seeing what San Jose paid Karlson.

 

anyone know where the fiance goes to med school in the states? hoping its NYU.

 

This trade was pretty close to highway robbery.

I think I read Florida somewhere, but I could be wrong.

This off season is crazy, Gorton is insane.

 

New additions since last season:

Shesterkin

Rykov

Fox

Trouba

Kravtsov

Kakko

 

And all we gave up was a couple months of Hayes, Pionk, a 2nd and a 3rd.

Gorton's moves since February, plus we're getting either Kakko or Hughes, and he signed the two Russians (Igor & Kravtsov):

Legit question: is Winnipeg really considered Western Canada?

 

I know that most of Manitoba, the entirety of Saskatchewan and Alberta up til the Rockies is basically a colder Iowa.

 

Yes, anything west of the Ontario/Manitoba border. If you ever drive it, you'll understand. When you hit that border it goes from dense forest to expansive prairie in an instant.

What's interesting to me is that we went from having NO future on defense other than Brady Skjei to almost definitely having a bright, bright future on defense in only a year. Like, Trouba/Skjei/DeAngelo/Fox are basically locks. Beyond that, however, now there's Hajek, Keane, Miller, Lundkvist and Reunanen.

 

One way or another, we have a definite top 6 for the next decade.

Yeah, great point. Looking at the defense a month or so ago gave me the shivers. But, now, damn. I can't wait to see more of Hajek. Him getting injured really sucked. He looked really good his brief stint.

Gorton was a top executive prospect for a reason. He's just getting started, too.

 

I can't be any happier with this guy! He's been absolutely magnificent, and adding JD just puts the icing on the cake! It's a great feeling to be moving in the direction we are right now....and I simply CANNOT wait to Draft day!!!
