No way the Canadiens are parting ways with Subban.
No way the Flyers can obtain Weber from Nashville.

Im more optimistic about schenn than last offeason. He needs to get stronger on the puck and better in face offs. VL big mistake and its hurting.
- JoeRussomanno


I agree. His responsible play in the D zone this year was a great step. He throws big hits, but I think he can improve his stick defensively.

This is true, everyone does. Unless the Flyers want to unload Giroux or Voracek + Couturier or possibly Ghost they're not landing any of those big time players.

Kunitz the finisher. How the Pens were able to sign him for under 4 mil I'll never know. They must have some dirt on him.

That's Letang's goal. Girardi deflected it past CSP.

Throw Read or Simmonds on Crosby's wing and see what their production looks like.

They are all different types of players... Kunitz's abilities blend very well with the way Crosby plays.

Read and Simmonds have shown to have chemistry before...I forget if it was maybe for a time last year. But I do remember that. If we cant get any of the big LW fish, maybe we sign someone like Winnik or Stempniak for the 3rd line to bump Read up and go with these lines

Read-Giroux-Simmonds
Hartnell-Schenn-Voracek
Winnik-Coots-Raffl
Rinaldo-Laughton-UFA/Leier?

Reason being is I think they should try and split G and Voracek so we can have a puck carrier on each scoring line. I just would like to see Berube try it.

I think G and Jake got some nice stuff building together and we shouldnt mess with that. But also, there is Pouliot /Jokinen / Kulemin. We'll get a decent player for that LW spot. that needs to be filled. Also a cast of other RWs to sign and send Raffl and Read over to the left side.

lecav to the Caps for 105? Maybe Flyers need to add a 6th or 7th rounder?

I wouldn't be upset either way, was just looking at it from the draft side as to when I'd rather have the pick unless it was top 10 this year.

Whats your opinion on Leier's chances of making the squad as a 4th liner?

Rick Nash us a perfect example of why participation trophies do more harm than good.

Just too many variables to figure out what's best at this point. Hopefully we retain B. Schenn.
- jstross


I wasn't looking at letting Schenn go for just a 1st 2nd and 3rd- I was saying if they didn't move him and someone signed him to a ridiculous offer sheet I believe those picks would be 2015 and not 2014. I'm not saying they should shop him but if there is a trade that would significantly help this team's needs, I wouldn't be upset.

I don't see VL going anywhere this year. Maybe if his role next year is similar to this past season, maybe he would agree to select teams to be traded to.

I think it'll be tough to make the changes they need to this offseason.While they are a talented club as individuals sometimes I think they aren't a cohesive group together which shows by their inconsistency. I see them as a good young team but not a serious cup contender.
