I am hoping for more offense out of both of them.

Both will have more offense if we get bodies in front of the net .

I don't think either will ever fill a scoresheet.
I've told Vantel numerous times, Corrado reminds me a ton of hamhuis. I bit better offensively and a tad more physical. But in the way that he quietly does his job never wowing anybody yet rarely makes a mistake.
I see a lot of Carl Gunnersson in Tanev.

One of the worst lineups in the league.

Gonna agree with Ian on most, I'll propose the following

sedin/sedin/kassian ( love this combo, try punchin the sedins now )
Higgins/kesler/burrows ( hard working good grit and chemistry )
Jensen/santorrelli/hansen ( my shut down line )
richardson/gaunce/wiese (good energy line and good for guance to learn on)

I left out booth, cause last i heard he wasn't cleared medically to play. I also left out Schroeder cause I don't think he fits in the mould anywhere except as a depth guy or better yet package him up with edler perhaps and get a nice return.

I haven't seen you post on here much or if ever,so don't take offense but your thrird line shut down line has 2 AHL players (Jensen is an offensive player not defensive) and Hansen.

Sauve had so much potential I hope it pans out for him but I have my doubts.

Still in development, looking for 2 last writers, purchasing domain name, dealing with NHL legal dept.

I follow him on FB and he gives updates on the status. Won't lie. I will check it out, can't be worse than other web pages.

For what its worth I believe Corrado is already better then Tanev. I know its hard to judge against lesser compitition but he didn't do anything in the big league to change my opinion.

I think he has a higher upside as well and looked just as good in a very limited sample size.

And his upside is so much higher than Tanev's.

Any truth to the rumor that 1st in the pool gets ref for a week? And bans will be upheld
