Hopefully Benning can get more than a 3rd for Sutter , Panarin would look great with Pettersson and Erik Karlsson would look good too obviously but at what price. This would definitely speed up the rebuild process as long as they don't end up like Eriksson. They still need scoring depth up front to compete in the playoffs whether through the draft or ufa's.
:lol: nice to see Gumps your not loosing any brain cells in your retirement.

Yes saw that on global news , I also remember seeing it on the news 10-15 years ago but maybe it's finally taking off in popularity. So do you actually participate? The idea of having to hold my breath under water doesn't thrill me too much.

Yes, I've been playing for 6 years, but I'm a free diver since I can swim... More than 30 years ago.

I must say I enjoyed Q. Hughes first game he seemed to acquit himself well and his first assist was a thing of beauty, the overtime shift with Petey, Boeser and Hughes was absolutely awesome! the future does look bright, and if Luke Schenn continues play like that give him another look next season. Knucks win 3-2 in a shootout to the Kings. Also didn't realize Edler was that close to Mattias Ohlunds record for points by a Knucks defence men. :o :clap:

I’m an Oilers fan, so it’s been a decade of pain for me. Peter Chiarelli has completely mismanaged this team. The trade that hurts the most is the 1st round pick to the Islanders for Griffin Reinhart, a defensemen that was always really poised to be no better than a 5 or 6 on a decent team. The Islanders then used that pick to draft Barzal. Ugh. Thankfully, there are a couple of bright spots on the team and having Evan Bouchard developing in the OHL is promising.

And all they have is Gagne and some guy named Larsson to show for the Hall and Eberle trades. Oilers are extremely fortunate that the NHL allowed all those 1st overall draft picks within a short period of time thus they fluked out with Mcdavid and then were able to land Draisaitl with another high pick , meanwhile canucks have finished near the bottom for the last few years but get penalized because some team well ahead of them wins the lottery and then can't pick any higher than 5th, not a fair system. I can't stand the oilers....unless I have some oilers in my hockey pool, :lol:

Fair enough. I don’t care for the Canucks personally. I don’t hate the team though. The only 2 teams I hate in the league are the Leafs and Habs.

Safe to presume you're from Alberta? My brother n law lived and worked in Edmonton for over 30 years,they finally moved back here 3 years ago but he still roots for the oilers so we're constantly teasing each other regarding our teams. We've got a double double white spot burger meal for 4 people riding on this season with 3 games to go , I've got a slim1 point lead . :crazy:

Haha that’s cool. Well, I hope you win, if only for a better draft pick for the Oilers.

Nope, born and raised in the lower mainland. I became an Oilers fan through my uncle. He grew up during the Gretzky/Messier/Kurri/Coffey days of the 80s. He would make me watch VHS tapes of their games when I was young, so it rubbed off on me I guess.

Ahh , so you were forced and brainwashed! Typical cult strategies, get out while you can!

I'm actually quite surprised at how many members here are oilers fans, 4 or 5 that I know of.

:lol: well with Knuckles hockey season coming to an end today it was at least an interesting season in that the Knucks were in the playoff race in the weak Western conference up until February, they also finish with more points than last years 73, and close to a 500 record the future looks bright with the kids I'm hoping. On a side note the White Craps look horrible this season, the Lions look like they might do well with QB Mike Reilly kinda sad that Lulay hung them up. Blue Jays look awful but the Mariners look decent but it's early just like Gumps golf game anything is possible. :lol: :crazy: :clap:

A little disappointed the way things have gone down in Utica , maybe our prospects are not as good as we thought? A lot of injuries down there too though.
Benning needs to snag another high end prospect in 1st round this June whatever position they're in , wouldn't it be cool to win the lottery for once in their lives and get another brother act to replace the twins.

Yes my golf game is still a little rusty but did manage to shoot one birdie to go along with a couple of pars at the Falls last week. I've never golfed this early in the season before , gone already 3 times! Gotta luv retirement! :thumbup: :wave:

Well I've been trying to hold off on that conspiracy of a draft lottery. :evil: I mean c'mon how do teams like New Jersey, Chicago constantly move up like that although I'm glad Colorado stumbled to the no.4 pick. It's not fair that teams like the Knucks get shafted year after year in Bettmans American biased draft lottery what a F**kly joke. :wtf: :thumbdown: :roll: :cry:
