Big mistake taking Gally with Reilly still on the board.

the guy was a huge scorer in junior, ECHL and AHL. he played at a 40-point clip as a rookie bouncing all over the lineup. he scored 60 points in his first full NHL season. i think the odds of DD not being a regular 50-60 point centre are very small. will he put up 60 points with Travis Moen and Brandon Prust? no, he won't. but no one would.

Will he put up 50-60 points with Bourque and Gomez?

DD needs to be on the top 2 lines and needs big quality linemates

and then he will be a 60plus point player.

So that is 2 prerequisites that a team needs to take into consideration when thinking about trading for DD.

Now if DD could turn into a 80 to 100 point player, I could see teams wanting to trade for him no matter what they have to surround him with, but for a 60 point player? Don't think so.

So if you sign him long term and he remains what he is then you are stuck with him for that term. Is DD what you want as 1 of your top 2 Centers on this team for long term?

What's the Reilly point tally at now?

We don't even know where he fits on the team long term (Desharnais), so no.

YES!!!

He could fit anywhere.










cause he's little....lol.

YES!!!
- stormey

We all know it's coming, so why not get it started right now?

or, what happens if we sign him just 2 or 3 years instead of 6?
Would you shut the (frank) up about Desharnais at the very least?

Why so angry?
Why does Yanikins hate so much?

I say don't extend him, let him walk as a UFA.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

The blog is about DD, please stick to the topic, we all know Eller has proven nothing.

i think we need more top-6 wingers with size more than we need centres at this point. though we could definitely use some centre depth.

For next year, we need better D or it's gonna be another long year. But with a 40 games season, you never know what might happen.

Talk about getting max value for your players.

You should.
They're usually quite insightful.

I would wait and see what he can do in the playoffs first before signing long terms. But then again, we won't see the playoffs for another 2-3 yrs.
