Im trying to figure out how Joe is saying we overpaid for Pronger..

let me see if i get this right...

1. Future hall of famer..check
2. Won a cup..check
3. Proven leader..check
4. Still a top 3-5 dman at that time..check...

Picks , not proven.
Lupul and Sbisa, not proven.


Also i'm catching up but is the debate Forsberg vs Lindros?

Is he the new Kent Manderville? Great on faceoffs, good defensive player, 100+ game goalless drought?
- jmatchett383

Kent Manderville ....never thought I would have anyone mention that name again

maybe he turns 20 during the season and can go to the ahl
- Don'tForgetTocchet

Well when he does turn 20 the entire CHL (all junior leagues) seasons would be over. His birthday is May 30th.

I sure as hell hope not but I also won't be shocked.

Well, Homer did say he wouldn't trade Coots or Schenn over draft weekend. I was kind of hoping for a little longer duration of time.

It means Laughton centers the 4th line and Hall is the new 13th forward...or Laughton plays wing over Jay "who knew I could actually play hockey" Rosehill.

that's fine too

i super wanted hall resigned, i'm as happy as a pig in poop as my ma would say

I think it was more implied that it would take a lot in any offer for him to move them

well there goes that idea


either way i think it's fine if he waits another year

that's fine too

I had no problem with him while he was here...played his role very well imo.

Conversely, your team looks a lot worse when they don't have possession of the puck as often.
- Flyskippy

Nothing worse than watching the Flyers chase the puck all night. Nothing.

They have to make a trade to free up money to get a goalie.

Should be interesting tomorrow.

For fun, rank these players for me, Joe.

Parise
Malkin
E. Staal
Heatley
Giroux
Getzlaf
Ovechkin
Vanek
Nash
- Roytastic

Toews is better than all of em
But ok...
Malkin, Parise, getzlaf, e. staal, Giroux, Vanek, Nash, ovechkin.

i mean yah that's a bummer for him but i'm very ok with him taking a longer development period
- Don'tForgetTocchet

Yeah, you hear more about the risk of rushing than about the risk of holding one back in junior.

I would be greatly disappointed if that payment was Yandle. I don't have a problem if Emery is added and let's get ready for training camp. However, I get the sense it won't be that simple.

I agree, nothing wrong with them finally not rushing prospects & building a strong group of prospects.

I believe you are correct, it wont be simple.

Well in that case homer better get on the phone with Boston to see what we can send for chara. Coots, Hagg and some first rounders ought a do it.

I'm not the one overwhelmed with joy at paying. 8 mil a year for Giroux.

- JoeRussomanno

So your list

Malkin - 8.7mil
Parise - 7.5mil
Getzkaf - 8.2mil
e. staal - 8.2mil
Giroux - maybe 8.5mil
Vanek - 7.1 mil
Nash 7.8 mil
Ovie 9.5mil

To me, comparing those players and how you rank them, mid 8's for a cap hit sounds about right for giroux, no?
