Mr Hedman

you seem like a great guy, and will probably be a great defenseman…unfortunately you are not the second coming of mike green and the team needs goals. best of luck in tampa bay

Hey Brad, you obviously haven’t been paying attention. The DiPietro contract was done by Charles Wang, not Snow, who is far from clueless. He had a very good draft last year, made two of the best free agent signings in the league the last year with Weight and Streit, and got a first round pick for Chris Campoli.

(5) the isles will not be in the conference finals for at least four years. Two years to compete for the cup? seriously thats a joke. You will have to get throught the pens in the east to get near it anytime soon, have fun going through sid and gino if your the isles. other teams could do it because they don’t have a clueless GM.
(76, 77, 78, 80)DP is hardly a proven star, he’s is a fragile mess with a contract that will no team would be stupid enough to undertake. Unlike Garth Snow, Brian Burke has a brain. No one in their right mind would take DP and his 13 or so remaining years. to think Burke would make me think you are as stupid as Snow for signing him for 15 years. His contract makes him impossible to trade.
Hedman seems like a great kid but if you pass on tavaras you need to get something else huge too.
Good story CB, joke comments by some readers.

Botta – What will it take to trade for Tampa’s number 2 pick, aside from trading away the 1st pick? Maybe next years #1 pick?Maybe Throw in Tambilini, just cuz?

76 and 77. Although DP has been injured, he is a proven all star. Hedman has not proven anything. he may become a good Kenny Jonsson that’s 6-6, thats it. i wouldnt even be surprised btw if Brayden Schenn AND Duchene go before HEdman. i think the whole Hedman thing is a Toronto media thing to get Tavares. DP though can maek the entire team MUCH better when he plays

The perfect June 26th:

Wake up at about 9am…hit the Marriot bar at about 10am…enjoy a few bloody mary’s…have some lunch…then some more beverages…over to the coliseum for the draft party…listen to JT & Snow on the jumbo-tron…order my new JT jersey with my I-Phone…back to the Marriot for celebratory cocktails…call a cab at midnight, drunk and happy, with a new era of NYI hockey fully upon us!
