You'll note that I used no player names, nor yearly designation.

You guys obviously don't remember the early 90s.

Ha! Oh, we do. It's just that those teams were just run-of-the-mill bad, for my money.

The Season that Shall Not Be Named was a different beast entirely.

Hell man... those were some of the better players.

A possibility, but I still think B Schenn is better at center. When he's not with VL and Briere, he's proven to be an average #2 center.
- PhillySportsGuy

Fair enough. But I wonder if taking the pressure off and giving him two guys that can carry the puck would be beneficial -- because Schenn seemed to do some of his better work along the boards and from five feet outside the crease.

I could see him being quite good at finding that soft spot where Hartnell tees up for a one-timer and potting a few more goals.

That would certainly help capwise. Finding a 2nd or 3rd line LW rather than doling out the cash for a top line LW. Furthermore, that might allow Couturier to move up to a 2nd line role with Simmonds and Reid.

Lecavalier could probably be OK on a third line with a Raffl and another speedy type guy.

Just food for thought.

By moving Hartnell, yes they wuold create a hole but with the way Hextall was talking I feel like it might be one step back next year to go 4 steps forward the next. He knows he has to move some money. Moving Hartnell and Vinny would start the process if possible. I am not saying it is a given but just what I took from it.

if those guys could contribute at their best, they're good players to have. i just don't see it happening.

Definitely one of the coolest onomatopoeic hockey names ever... right up there with Jeff Beukeboom, Darroll Powe, Brad Bombardir, Hakan Loob, and Radek Bonk.

He was a late 90's disaster, not early 90s. Possibly the worst fighter I've ever seen. Made Cote and Vandermeer look like Probert and Grimson.

Acquired from Chicago for Peter White, correct?

I understand but they aren't getting any younger. Guys don't get better with age. The skills will decline and power forwards as they get older struggle. If you can move him now while he is still productive then it is better then waiting till you can't move him at all

Riley Cote will always have Andre Roy.

Then let's move Giroux before his skills deteriorate while his value's at an all-time high. Hell, Ghost is in his 20's, let's move him for some 18-year-olds. Can't have all of these guys in the lineup that will one day be old.

Read's was? Raffl certainly, since he just got here, but I swear this stuff just blurs together at some points. Was Read's extension cut over the summer or during the season?

Which time? Must've been an awkward Boxing day dinner table, with how many times Bob Clarke traded his son-in-law.
