So much for Blackwood being “the guy” in NJ.
The Crawford seems like a panic move.

Great backup though and mentor.

Lol, not only 4 years younger, a double Cup winner, but a better career save percentage for Murray too.

So...not?

Still lots of notables available today

It's a small overpayment but he's going to get shelled for the first year or two. Were going to blame him for being a poor goaltender until year three when our defense is actually good

Perhaps. He'll be a nice stabilizer in net for the kids though, so will Gudbranson if you believe what Anaheim fans say.

Have to play chicken with Duclair first, then look to acquire a cast off forward and be paid to do it, but after paying a 4th for Brown, i dont really know if i want Dorion mucking around.

My expectations of Gudbranson is a more physical, meaner Gryba. I think he's what someone like brannstrom needs, but there is no guarantee brannstrom starts in the NHL this year. He needs to leap over Reilly and his one way contract

Scorching report with a good analysis on Jarventie

yeah. 

I don't know what I feel about Dorion pulling trades. once ina while he does a good one (Murray) but he seems to have a tendency to overpay or he gets fleeced.

will we? 
i think we'll see Murray get pushed a little bit by Hogberg. If Hogberg continues on the path he was on last year we could have a very solid 1 and 2 going forward. 
let the rest of the guys develop in Belleville and see if they can push themselves in the line-up through injuries. 

at this moment, goaltending is probably one of our greatest strengths going forward. 

So stop drafting goalies inside of the 5 first-round Pierre!

I hope hogberg is selected by Seattle

Jarventie has 4 points in 4 games as a young 18 year old in the top men’s league. Leading his team in scoring

Great add by the Bruins at a great price. Craig Smith.
