Honestly, a guy like Jeff Petry should be in the mix.

Big, calming D, who can play a lot of minutes.

On one hand you're right, he should be considered.

On the other hand, with his contract coming up in a year's time and him being doing for likely a significant raise, they may strategically exclude him from the conversation.

Hey since you and laughs are neighbors, can you go over to his house and see if he is still alive? I am worried with his lack of presence here, that he may have masturbated one too many times over the weekend, and suffered a CVA. He may just be really tired from it all, and can't type on the keyboard, but either way could you check please.

But then you'd be able to whine and dine him into a 12 year deal

Well for starters he needs to focus on not letting in soft, back breaking goals that cost the team games. Being captain may take away from his focus on being consistent.

When has making a goalie the captain not worked out?

Isn't that against the rules now? It would be sweet though.

Hey, not saying he is terrible. He in fact played a hell of a lot better this year than last. Just saying his focus should be elsewhere other than being captain. Also my experience from playing hockey for many years is that goalies are always weird (frank)ers. You don't want some nutjob (Bryzgalov comes to mind) being the captain of your team.

Well as long as you know I am not one of those loser Sabres trolls that think Dubnyk couldn't hold Millers concussed head after Lucic ran the mofo over.

Yeah he is getting more hits than the other bloggers that have recently posted, and is right on par with what clout's usually gets. Well done kid.

Good to know. Im not sold on Dubs yet, this is his year to prove himself. If he is top 12- 15 in the league, im good with that. We should have enough scoring in front of him to make up for some soft goals now and then.

Agreed that this is the year. The team can't really expect to make the playoffs if he doesn't get is poop together for the whole year. The team should score enough yes, but those close games where goals are hard to come by, need to be stolen by Dubs if they are gonna squeak into a playoff berth.

What's even better is that you have done it without resorting to trolling, or having so many glaring hockey errors in your blog, that people come here to tell you about it. It is also after 2pm eastern and supertrollls Newmy and Systemtool haven't even added their obligatory 30-40+ trolling hits.
