NEXUS Off-Season Ramblings

Positive thinking – the Flames will be super awesome and make the playoffs (if Iggy greatly outscores Martin St. Louis in process of this, a certain GM will be crying).

Welcome back to the former Barbarians GM! Is the new team going to be called the “Barboys or “The Losbians?? (ok, that was funnier in my mind before I typed it).

Congratulations to Mr. Chelios on an illustrious career! This guy definitely would have been FUNHL FP material in his prime!!

Anonymous sources report to the Nexus that the Highlanders planned to increase their odds of winning the Predator in 2010-11 by hiring a hit man to take out the Bladerunners’ GM. It all fell through when the guy wanted 100 million over 15 years.

Sucks to be Taylor Hall – playing for the Edmonton Oilers AND the Severed Heads, uggh… ;-) From the other perspective, both the Oilers and Heads should be happy to have him.

Would anyone be shocked if the Sedins go #1 and 2 in the FUNHL Entry Draft this year?? The Nexus wouldn’t.

A new poll states that the 6 worst places to live in are Edmonton, Toronto, Thunder Bay, Lethbridge, rural Nova Scotia and Nanton. What a weird coincidence that these are where the Out of Calgary Conference's FUNHL GMs are located! (however, with associate GM Breakenridge living in Calgary, does that give the CC 7 teams and the OCC 5 teams??)

Stay tuned for a pre-season prediction list including a comparison of how the Nexus and GM Hilton did with their pre-season predictions from last season. We’re rarely right – such is the fun of all the intangibles that occur during a season!

A. As much as I would like it to happen, Iggy probably won't outscore StLouis. Marty has either Stamkos or Big Vinny as his centre, while Iggyvgets either Stajan or Jokinen.

B. Chelios would crtainly have been FP worthy in his prime.

C. I love the idea of the 'Losbians', but what would their unis look like?

D. Taylor Hall has expressed nothing but excitement at being a member of the Severed Heads. Being an Oiler? Not so much...

E. Says here that D.Sedin goes first but that there is no chance Henrik goes second. The correct answer is Getzlaf.
