uhh, yeah.
that should make almost any Preds fan salivate. trading inconsistent, “underproducing” players for elite talent? no-brainer. That may even get Suter & Weber to sign on the dotted line.
hockey connoisseur. t-shirt addict. not famous. nerd.
It only works if ZP signs with us.
I just don’t see Lamirello (sp) moving ZP as long as the Devils are in the playoff hunt. It’s just not LL’s habit to do so. Doesn’t hurt to make continual phone calls about though………heck, I’ve been doing it since July, LOL! :D

Too bad Kevin at @ In Lou We Trust isn't well, Lou.
His offer to trade for Parise?
Lindback, Austin Watson and a 1st for Parise and Fayne
I’d do that in a microsecond.

And I’ll drive Parise back here………..and give him the pen to sign the long term contract! :)
Heck, I’ll throw Blum and the rights to Rads (always have to include that, LOL!) if it gets that deal done!

Oh yes, Rads!
I’ll personally hunt him down in Russia, put an unremovable Devils jersey on him and deliver him to Lou L. :D

And look at that, ZP knocks home the winner in OT for NJ. It’ll look better in gold! :)

Those youngsters must be pretty good
To be able to play in Ontario and to win against a few teams that I bet were Canadian as well.
I love it when USA kids win up in the great white north! :)

Canadians are losing hockey kids/recruits, right and left, at the rate of over 20,000 a year, even while recruiting kids who speak Tagalog (Philippines):

We have a wonderful opportunity to gain a pinch of respect if the USA continues to pump-out a few more kids who compete well against them.
Can't believe the Preadors are proud of this.
Jr Predators Mite Minor team is a AA team. The tournament was for B level teams. They beat one team 18-0. They should be ashamed that the Predators were represented this way.
From what I understand, this tournament was for “Additional Entry” teams. Meaning, teams that are made up of left over players that want to play from each community that has met the requirements.
So, this was our secondary team beating their secondary teams. Maybe we have a smaller or better base here in Nashville, but that doesn’t mean that it was putting AA teams in a B tournament.

Correction: This was the Mite Major team and not the Mite Minor
The Mite Major team is a AA team that had they qualified, would had played in the Silver Stick AA tournament in Detroit next weekend. The Silver Stick tournament in Pelham, ON was a B level tournament.
