He had a rough strike shortened season, but was humming along before that.

I always found it strange they bought him out when they needed centers. They could have kept him for one more year to see what happened.

Fancy stats people were falling over themselves when that decision happened... Grabovski is a really strong possession player and a really nice two-way center.

Grabovski passes the eye test, too -- he's one of those tough Europeans, man. He'll go into tough places and take hits to make plays

Hey, I have no problems with that; both of those guys are excellent coaches. Babcock's the best in the business.

But my goodness. Yeah, you're in a tight spot, waiting for one of those guys to shake free. Just as a fan of the sport, I hope they don't ruin those kids by giving them another season with a guy who just pulled the chute on them because they aren't 32 years old

I hope they do something dumb, like trade the Flyers Gardiner for Grossmann and a 2nd

What was their reasoning? Bad teammate?

Would you trade Schenns for Kadri and Gardiner?

Man, I just laughed at that. Twitter would melt down -- the Toronto media would go to war, with Mirtle and Arthur leading one army and Cox and Simmons leading the other

- PhillySportsGuy

You know, that's interesting.

It'd totally depend on who Kadri's other winger would be, if you're playing him with Simmonds. Because that guy would maybe have to be a Selke finalist...but something like that would be an interesting move.

I like Baby Schenn better than Kadri, but I like Gardiner better than Luke.

This game has Kings comeback written all over it

Actually it was Burke, so he wasn't American enough.

That I might do...I'd have to delve into the numbers more, but that's an interesting thought

That dancing guy is creepy but that Marcos Valle track from 1980 is so dope.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Same. I'm not a fan of Kadri. My dislike for him would probably hold me back from making the deal.

So the B's now have the Habs on the brink. Is Mesz anywhere near the requirement to get us the 2nd rounder?

I probably like Phaneuf then most, I just think giving him the captaincy in that market is lunacy. They almost need to trade for a captain like the Flyers did with Jason Smith. I believe Phaneuf can excel when he is not the main focus of the team.

Don't think so. I think he's been scratched now for like 4 games in a row

I like Phaneuf more than most, too. I'd take him on the Flyers, even with his deal. Agree he's not the guy you put the C on, though.

Not unless the league is really bad at math

I'm not 100% sure though. I'd' like someone to verify that for us

Really? Ouch.

I'm fine with the 3rd, though -- that's really what he was probably worth. We'd totally have been playing with house money if they had gotten more than that
