I don't take it..... we have Ott, Foligno, and Kaleta as our hitters... if we just get another guy.. that is 4 wingers that are nothing but physical.... well Ott has shown a lot of offensive promise this year actually.

Tropp can play, he might suprise some peoples next year offensively.

That's what you want on the bottom 2 lines to be a serious cup contender.

Name of the game come playoff time is to wear the other team out.

Vanek eventually will end up in Minnesota, after they buy out Heatley.

Not a fan of Pardy at all.

As a 5th/6th pairing or as our 7th d-man.. I love pardy.

A team desperate for offensive help would be more willing to take Vanek or Stafford....


Nashville, Colorado, Florida, NJD, Phoenix, WSH, or WPG.

Agree. But he still has work to do with that injury. The last game I saw he was scratched because of his injury flaring up.

He could be traded as a rental or whatever, but he will end up in Minnesota eventually. That's where he wants to be, where his wife's family is from.

fits right in

i dont want players that fit in though

Ottawa. Ton of cap space, good prospects. They might feel they are a peice or 2 away

vanek's wikipedia says he often dj's at local clubs after victories.

CANCER! TRADE! CANCERRRR!

Darcy trades him to Ottawa... that would be a shocker....

I could see him getting moved on draft day to a team like SJ for a late 1st rounder.

If we are going to keep Weber, than Pardy should be nothing more than a 7th guy.
I think Pysyk and McNabb start on the roster next year

Ehrhoff/Sekera
Myers/Pysyk
Weber/ McNabb

Pardy/Rhuwedel

He should get just as much as Gaborik got.

I am happy that you split up Pysyk and McNabb.... but I will just throw this out there since McNabb and Myers were linemates at Prep School...

Ehrhoff - Pysyk
Myers - McNabb
Pardy - Weber
Rhuwedel

trade Sekera... he has been an absolute ghost this season and i don't want him here any more.

I personally think Sekera might be the most under rated player on this team and has a friendly cap hit.

Prepare for the incoming "SEKERA SUCKS" rants

Hypothetical situation. Say Vanek, Miller, Stafford are dealt and Leino is bought out. Now let's say that the new coach doesn't name Ott captain (for obvious reasons), who gets the "C" then? Hodgeson? Erhoff?

Ehrhoff IMO....

Hodgson, Myers, Kaleta, and Ott get A's.

Myers with an A?

I don't know about that, I don't think the kid has earned it yet.

And while I do agree that the Hoff is a worthy candidate... he just doesn't seem like the "standout" kind of guy you'd want as a captain. He does his job and does it well, give him an A at least.

Its like Stafford having an "A" now.

Yes and we're obviously all pleased with that fact...

or maybe it will be like the season we gave Pommer the C and he had his 2nd best career season in the NHL at 30 years old?


Just a thought.
