Dang son .. I think it would be hard for Verbeek to say no to that one

What is that DeBrusk trade?

If you can pull that debrusk trade off in the next couple hours so the bruins can flip the assets for something else, then sure!

Anaheim says Yes.

You persuaded a guy to leave college, where he had a shot at a national championship, early just so you could trade him before his first training camp?

Minnesota wasn’t winning the NC

These look a lot like panic trades. Something the Canes front office would be theoretically against.

What a foolish statement. They won the Big Ten championship, didn't they? Ben Meyers was the Big Ten Player of the Year, wasn't he? Brock Faber was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, beating out Owen Power and Luke Hughes, didn't he?

Anything is possible in the playoffs.

Michigan won the Big 10

No, Michigan won the league playoff. Minnesota won the league championship.

So You’re saying the President’s trophy winner really won the NHL but the Cup only goes to the playoff winner?

No, regular season winners are just for people who have to hang banners

Spending 6 players and 3 picks to have Seth Jarvis sit in the press box

You're absolutely right. I was careless with my language. My intent was to refer to Minnesota's winning the regular season "title," as it were, which doesn't exist. Michigan, as the second seed, won the Big Ten championship tournament over number one seed Minnesota. I don't think that vitiates my point, which was that a declaration that something couldn't happen in the future is a fatuous statement.
