I don't think they blow it up, but there needs to be a change. I'm thinking Captain Joe may be on his way out.

They have the best group of centers in the league. Thornton, Marleau, Pavelski, Couture, Hertl

It's a shame they had to play the Kings in the first round. I predicted it would go 7 games and the Kings would win. I didnt think it would happen like that.

It hurt not to have Vlasic in that last game.

We have a team full of KIDS. I am sorry that I don't want them to trade key parts and stay the course. I really think Schenn will develop into something in a few years. The main point of that is Schenn is still trying to find his game as a 22 year old KID. He still managed to score 20 goals in doing so. In a few years I think he will be a star second line center.

He is an RFA. He is going to get about 1.5 to 2mil in a 2 year bridge deal the same as couturier.

I'm not saying I want to trade Brayden Schenn.

But it's time for him to begin fulfilling his potential.

Morin and B Schenn for Okposo and Pulock? Anyone?
- jmatchett383




So you won't move Schenn for Lindholm or Maata, but Pulock is on the table!?

And how did he do in the series? He is not a top 6 fwd, he is nothing more then a grinder. Since he is still not signed, I would imagine he wants a big payday and he is not worth it.

Actually Schenn's deal is full of possible bonuses which count against our cap but don't actually go to the player unless he reaches them. That said we could probably re-sign him on a bridge deal which would make both sides happy. The player would actually see more of the money and our cap hit will probably not adjust very much.

His cap hit will probably decrease, to be honest. He's only owed a 10% increase in a tendered offer, which is $990K. So I don't think he'll be asking for more than $2.25M.
