u said stats weren't everything.

he'll never be what a lot of us and probably even he, hoped. he's definitely no snipe.

but he stopped with the muffins from half court and started using that brilliant skating to drive the net and was able to get a few garbage goals. i think that's gonna have to be his bread and butter, cause his hands are mediocre. he's not physical per se, but he's got size not he's not super easy to just push around either.

a work in progress, but i think he's gonna be a very capable 3rd liner and even fill in the top 6 when needed.

Ebs is more of a Buchburger type... maybe a third/fourth liner

Edit: on the upside...

What does this mean? Are u saying you'd give up Kane and Backstrom for Toews but not Kane and Gagner?

this.

i don't really wanna take anyone off his roster at forward, but Bergeron has to be there. 100%

Yeah they got to focus on special teams.
That Fourth Line should have Grit too.

I think your right and he may also be the NugeisHuge because those are exactly the same dumb things Cloutier says. Pretty good tactic by Clouts to get hits, lol

I like Clouts and read him almost daily despite some far out writings, at least he is entertaining and is dedicated to HB, hats off to him.

- flyerdude17


yes because saying Emery can't carry a team for 25+ games is as outlandish as Klefbom playing top pairing minutes in his rookie season.

I enjoy you taking shots at me indirectly. It tells me I've got a 50 some year old man to feel insecure about himself

Check Coutures stats.

Couture is also on the first unit pk I might add.

Eberle is (frank)ing lost in his own end.

- Pilgor09


Once again...

Couture -6 in the playoffs this year. Worst on the Sharks...

Tavares has to be on the team and Jeff Carter should never even be mentioned for this team. Carter is soft as butter.
- flyerdude17

Exactly my point. The CHL and NhL are different leagues. I don't think fans see that.

your childish comments reflect otherwise big guy. Also if you're in a keeper league running 35 years, stop trolling the internet, it's pathetic. Go spend time with your grandkids. Tell them about the days when Emery could carry a team for 25+ games.

Is the markov, kristo, eberle trade my idea? is that why I put that trade there? jesus. For an old wise man, you know jack sh*t.

Your one sad little mother. You actually think you know everything and your attitude totally sucks little fellow. I will bet you are 5' 2 110 pounds soaking wet sitting at a computer acting tough. Look at yourself, nobody is allowed to even make a comment or suggestion on here without you stepping in and saying this is how it is, end of story. Well Frank you Nuge.

I think it was a broken finger, but still affected his game.

He tied Couture for points this year, beat him badly last year. Couture's 2 way game is much better, but the difference is not enough to have to include the 7th overall in the deepest draft in a decade

- TheNugeIsHuge


Eberle was an unbelievable steal, but he shouldn't be expected to play top line... he's more like a wicked 2nd liner... the guy you find a center to play with him to make it work. The Oil have Yak, he's the 1RW of the future... unless Yak and Gags and Nichuskin make a nice 2nd line *drools*

Hall - Nuge - Ebs
Nich - Gags - Yak
PRV - Belanger - RFA/UFA
Eager - Petrell - Brown

I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one

Edit: yes I realize the irony of my post mixed in with my lines... i'm drunk, so bite me

Kane + Backstrom no brainer and Toews might be the best TEAM player in the world but I still do it. Its pretty hard to turn down Kane + Gagner but I think u have to keep Toews there.
