Dunno, Future Considerations seems like he could develop into a good player. Here's his scouting report from HF:

A naturally-gifted goal scorer, Future Considerations will have the task of proving he can produce at the pro level as well as his gaudy junior numbers indicate. The winger's work ethic and the strides he took in rounding out his game during his junior career have put him in a good position to make his pro transition a successful one. That said, Considerations is neither the fastest nor strongest prospect, and he could have trouble finding open ice to convert looks into chances. His quick release and accurate shot should nonetheless make him a power-play factor from the start. Even if he has to work his way up an AHL lineup over the course of his rookie season, Considerations' nose for the net will make him a threat on each shift. In summary, Future has a bright future.

Yeah, but dude, can we fit his bloated salary under the cap?

Dude seriously? So the fact that he's "more adept" than Stevens is some sort of hallmark of achievement? Give me a break. Talk about damning with faint praise...doesn't get much worse than saying "well, he's better than Stevens".

That's the rough equivalent of saying "Well, my kid's not an axe murderer, so he's not a bad kid". There should be a higher standard.

nice assessment

Well I think this sends a message that the Front Office has already thrown in the towel.

ill wait two more games...but we are definitely at a tipping point.

Now now, give him a chance to screw everything up, it's still a bit early to be making wild accusations of capability.

We need Ilya Brickgalov
- BulliesPhan87

no we need



Bryzbreardanceov

He didn't bail them out in the 3rd period of the Buffalo game? Made a save on a good chance, and also made the save on the rebound of the same shot. With the game ending 3-2, Id say that was a big save.

In order for the team to find a happy medium, the Coach has to first.

The game when Schenn bailed him out after he let a shot from the blue line go through him? That Buffalo game?

Yeah, but dude, can we fit his bloated salary under the cap?
- mayorofangrytown

all kidding aside, a player of Future's caliber is worth any cap hit....dude.

pretty sure by "dangerous" he means there is a better than 90% chance either Schenn or Rinaldo will lethally board someone at some point during the first series.

Let me guess... Bryzgalov needs to be bought out and G should never have been captain and... They need to make a big trade for a player like Ryan?

Highly watchable show for me with my son at the time. It's hard to digest a lot of children's programing as an adult.

Yea they are bringing the golden fleece back as we speak. Pronger should be back for the next Jersey game. If they have time they'll swing by sweeden and resurrect lindbergh for good measure.

He's yakking it up about Laviolette possibly being fired. He thinks he should get a mulligan.
