Gardiner to Ceci is a pretty big downgrade, even with all of Gardiner's faults.
Ceci is only a year so I can deal more with that than another 4 years of Gardiner
More importantly.. NO ZAITSEV. :)
It's not just pretty big... it's a huge downgrade
Now I have to sit here and hope Sandin and Liljegren are ready or otherwise we screweeeeddddddd
We were screwed WITH Gardiner. And we'll continue to be screwed. that's all :) Nothing really changed. :)
Bad back? 29?
I just dont get why Carolina though, they're pretty much stacked on D ... Unless they're actually thinking of trading Hamilton that's been rumored for awhile
I heard teams put him through the Horton-Alzner test. It's where they place a pickle jar on the floor and ask him to bend over and open it.
I can't believe the Canes gave Gardiner Brandon Taney + money without the safety of Brandon Tanev term.
Risky commitment to someone who isn't Brandon Tanev

In my experience it isnt the best view BUT it is worth it to hear the players chirp all game.
I might just throw them up for a stupid price to see if anyone bites.
on another note..
Blues ERA: If you are still alive and want to catch a game, I have extra week night tickets. Shoot a PM and I'll hook you up at my cost (varies by game). Aisle corner seats, row M. A lot of games are sold out already.
Please let me know if you'd like free preseason tickets. I am trying to sell them elsewhere currently but will give them away if nobody bites soon.
Edit: Not looking to turn into a sales thread, just an FYI.

I had rich people seats for the Final games and the included food was just ridiculous. Fresh seafood bar, prime rib, roasted chicken and other meats, awesome veggies, dessert bar.. nacho bar.. nuts. I decided to grab them for the Leafs game this season for my family of 4. It was about $1200 and I noped out. Obviously the seats were good too but I couldn't pull the trigger.
I bet it's way more expensive at other venues too.
Some of the quality of life stuff with expensive seats is so good. Better, non-crowded restrooms, separate entrances without all the people nonsense, etc. Heck in Montreal I stepped off the private elevator for Club and they had a coat check. Helped a lot since everyone was dressed for the stupid cold weather.
Oh well back to a slice of pizza for me.

Best seats I've had were in the 8th or 9th row of the lower bowl just off a blue line in Dallas to watch the Hawks several years ago. Could see most of the rink, still close enough to see the players and hear the noise of the action really well. There was a scrum near us and I remember enjoying how salty Toews got at being bulldogged pretty good.
I've had closer seats a couple of times but once was in a corner and the angle was weird and the other was directly behind a goal on the second row which was super cool for watching a powerplay and one sniped goal but kind of meh for the rest of the action. I spent most of the game looking up at the scoreboard.

I sat in the 2nd row once, not in Toronto
Was in the corner but still awesome seeing things that close around the net

Couple of reports in the news today
- Zacha to Avangard (tentative deal)
- Werenski re-signed ($5m x 3)
I think it's cool to do once or take a friend that's never been that close.
If you are in or near a market with reasonable ticket prices lol....
A friend of mine used to work for Boston Pizza and got to use the corporate suite for a Canucks game. The home team lost to the Jets but I spent most of the game just socializing and eating.
We finally got rid of Zacha, yay! He was never going to live up to his first round draft pick potential. I guess this beats sitting out and hoping for a deal.
Sounds like a pretty fair deal, 5M is alright for a top young dman and 3 years is a good gamble for the player on himself.
As usual with young players, isolating the players impact to add context to his numbers is interesting:
Werenski has always been considered weak defensively but I expected him to be a positive on offense at the least.

Buffalo the last 6 years when it's not a canadian team.
Wings/Leafs prospect game live streamed for anyone that cares
This was in Buffalo way more than 6 years ago, also took Canadian money at par at the arena :o
lol what a bust of a pick for the Devils. especially considering it was the 2015 draft.
And here I thought we were getting out of having to sign that bust to a contract. At least it's only $6.7 mil. I guess he'll get sent to the minors a few times again.
From Friedman's 31 thoughts .
Honestly surprised he didn't take that offer yet. He really thinks he is worth more than Mathews.

Tolvanen and R.Pitlick are out there trying to make the Preds' training camp interesting.
The roster situation doesn't look like it's there for either of them, but if their preseason looks anything like the prospect showcase then who knows?

I think so. Probably more likely than Marner signing right now
