In case anyone is wondering McNabb is starting off on the top pair with Doughty in LA.

Always liked him. Again, can't play on the worst team in the NHL but can be on the top pair for the best? Weird.

Its happened before .. Gerby, MacArthur

Seriously?

I'm not really sure what to think of that.

He can't skate at the NHL level....

I think we keep getting fed that, but its nonsense.

you're right, because Muzzin is hurt, but still.....can't even crack our line up....

I don't think its nonsense at all.

Case in point TJ Brennan can dominate the AHL but can't hack it in the NHL.

McNabb has his shot and his big hits (that he usually takes himself out of the play) but his skating is bad.

I think they have a few injuries. I didn't think he was in their top 6 to start

Doughty
Muzzin
Martinez
Voynov
Greene
Regehr
Shultz
McNabb

Ok, well opinions vary but I'll trust what I see but more importantly what head pro scouts tell me over what fans tell me.

I think he can be a decent 4/5 guy if things go well but at the same time Fasching could be a good top 6 forward.

McNabb may very well become as good as you believe but its not like we got nothing back for him.

I just don't know about Fasching to be able to judge the trade yet.

From what little ive seen, there's a lot to like and i have to assume that Murray did his homework on him.

I hope so. I don't think McNabb is going to have a collection of Norris trophies of course, just like the way he played.

- Homer

Sorry . Gerb was a asset and MacArthur could have been a better stafford. just my imo.

There is no where for Gerbe on a good team IMO. Clarke was just "eh" to me.

I guess we'll see when Muzzin comes back

golden tate is a helluva receiver...kinda cocky...would expect something like this from him...

perhaps he shoulda found the kid with the laser and simply burned Schwartz's retina's out...

or he shoulda taken out his frustrations on their kicker
- Michael Pachla

The NFL should fine Golden Taint anyway, for "diarrhea of the mouth".

Pretty much the same thinking. But ya got what ya have and either make the best of it or try to get better via trade. not get worse. Which Darcy did.

I have a picture of him in a Kelly Kopowski T shirt if that helps
- Homer

You and your weird pictures.

to be a defenseman on a bad team u have to be able to skate good to compensate for weaker fowards. U gotta cover much more ice and are constantly put in tough positions.

Or if he would have stayed away from his QB's wife he would be still in Seattle.

I liked McNabb at lot as well. I think the reason that he ended up getting traded is because he's the type of Dman LA wanted along with the fact that he was on the cusp of being an NHL player as well. Really, it was probably a matter of asking for him or Pysyk, but in all reality, McNabb fits in better with the overall scheme in LA.

Just my $.02 of why I think he was the guy they moved.
