Posters who still think players coming out of the USHL and USNTDP are inferior to Canadian junior players...belittling the hockey knowledge of posters on ANY other forum, are fucking hilarious. There are a handful of posters here who actually still pay attention to hockey, watch games, and have any clue what the fuck they are talking about. The rest are fucking dinosaurs, who, predictably, love the forums that other dinosaurs hang out on. It's comical. (Yes, I am indeed trolling you old Canadian fuckheads.  ) |

Well there are only a handful of posters here anyways...SO THERE! But seriously...the CHL is such a better LEAGUE...there is no comparing the top end talent coming out of there vs the USHL...CHL and NCAA are much better sources of talent...unless you are stsn bowman, of course. |

Well, the USHL feeds the NCAA. It's a younger league, for the most part. It is really just a slower development path for the players that are debating whether or not to play in the NCAA, or trying to get noticed by NCAA teams.
The USNTDP program is head and shoulders above all of them. They've been ahead of the development curve for years now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. The USHL plays a huge role in that. As does the NCAA. You can't get the level of competition you get in the USNTDP anywhere else at 17 or 18. If you want to play in the NHL and are American, you are are going through that program.
This place has lost quite a few posters. Not a lot of different perspectives anymore. Kind of a shame.

How interesting would it be if everyone hated on him? Lol
I just shudder to think of the alternatives if you fired him. So many terrible GM's out there. I also want to see how this team operates without Q having input in personnel decisions. Stan has done a really good job this season.

Master stroke of genius to play Crow down the stretch to improve draft position. |

Not sure I can agree stan's job this year has been anything more than his typical fail. He seems to have hit on Strome, but outside of that.... Every one of his off-season moves was a horrific failure...the D Corps he has assembled belongs in the ECHL...and the bottom half depth on the roster is simply non-existent...he also doesn't have a single NHL starting-quality Goalie anywhere in the system. The team is not in very good shape as it creaks towards a needed rebuild. This coming year might actually be more important, as stan gas a ton if cap sisce at his disposal...and plans to use it, according to the STH renewal letter. So much could go wrong...especially with Panarin's name hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles. |

McD will want to spend money but I have a feeling no notable FA will want to sign in Chicago. The cap space they do have would be better used retaining cap hit to move Seabrook for example.

I agree...and I dont see any pre-eminent UFAs choosing Chicago....without some sort of ridiculous overpayment. This is a team now that has missed the playoffs and finished last in the division 2 years in a row. 3 years without winning a single playoff game, 4 years without a series win. |

You can always fix the D by overpaying a UFA, like Brian Campbell.

Or R******d. How much would it take to get him to come back to NHL from KHL? Maybe 3.5 million a season? He's playing at a 0.5 PPG pace in KHL. Using my trusty algorithm for determining how that translates to NHL production, I anticipate about 60 points per season. Ok, better make that 4.5 million instead of 3.5 million. Stan is on the phone.
