I'm a big McDonaugh fan. I think he's a really good defenseman. But he's not in Doughty's class.

Did you see him in Sochi?

Unshackle him from Darryl Sutter and he would post Ray Bourque numbers.

He's still really good defensively too.

Well, that's the thing; he's not allowed to be unleashed. But he, to me, is a top-3 guy (Doughty, Suter, Weber).

As much as I hate Domi, I applaud him for that.

And around 50.

Oh yes of course. Ulf was such a bastard. But yeah that's just ridiculous. SuckerP like that. Its borderline worldstarhiphop.com level of savagery.

Like I said, that package for ekblad would be ridiculous. A 1st and a really good player is all you guys should offer.
- rangerdanger94


That's the flip side of it. I might consider that. But not a core guy, which I consider Couturier to be.

He's better than doughty defensively.

This sounds crazy, but the more I watch him play, the more I think he's actually underrated. He may never put up Erik Karlsson numbers, but my God he's flat-out amazing.
- jmatchett383



He just flat out controls the game when he's out there. Everything slows down.

Just give me Folin, bring back Kimmo on an incentive loaded deal, reup AMac to something reasonable, and see how the kids are in camp. That would be a successful spring/summer to me.
- Tomahawk



That's where I am -- if you do find a way to get the Folin kid, let him, Alt, Ghost (if he comes out) and whoever the hell else has improved their game take a shot, if Kimmo does ride off into the sunset

Debatable. Doughty is underrated defensively in my opinion.

Possibly, but he doesn't have Doughty's all around game

Pretty darned good, yeah.

I still feel Karlsson has the potential to be the very best from that draft when all is said and done, though.

I think being that the draft is in Philly, I see the Flyers making a splash. No way they just make their pick which will likely be in the 15-20 area.

Folin rates, at least from most of the college guys I follow, as a 4/5 guy. He's not going to replace Timonen. I doubt that Alt or Gostisbehere could, either.

He is, but the gap (which is slight) isn't enough to offset the rest of Doughty's skillset. I'm not saying it's a Crosby to Couturier comparison, but it's more than Bergeron to Couturier.

I'm going to go out on a limb right now, and say none of those players can replace Timonen. It would be great to add one to a lower pair. But none of them are going to be able to take on Timonen's role and responsibilities.

Rosehill is a winner! He's made 3 million dollars!
