Zadorov is boom or bust
Pysyk could be anywhere from a steady 2-3 to a 5-6.
McCabe is an unknown
Ristolainen is a stud.
Gorges is a better suited 4-6 guy

Right now we have Myers/Risto as pretty sure fire top pairing players. They should be keeping all of them until they know exactly what they have in them.

if you think zadorov is boom or bust i would think you would be willing to move him if the right player came along.. what if we got a boom or bust winger for him?

I would as well.


I think a few years from now we'll be somewhat surprised at how many of these "building blocks" have been moved. That includes the so called close to untouchables.

I'm fine with moving Zads if we get a young scoring winger in return, but the last time we dealt a young, stud D man (Sarich) we got that slug Gratton back.

I'm gun shy.

But I thought Pysyk was better than Myers because of his work and [some numbers i'll throw in here to try and confuse you]

My sister just sent me pics from teh snowstorm in Mass. It is a mess. Part of the sea wall collapsed so there is flooding up to car doors and roofs still rising, which in turn is icing over.

What I was saying to fix the confusion. Is people still hold the "Myers came in out of shape" against him.


I have not heard a peep out of anyone on the Zadorov out of shape, Zadorov attitude where he refuses to do what the org thinks is best for him. (Go to juniors)

Just seems people hate Myers because of his contract and not the actual player.

KHL threat is going to go away . They just announced their cap will be 14.5 million per team next year because of the collapse of the Rubel.

I assume New Jersey still holds Kovalchuk's rights if he were to return. Are their any KHL'ers that could be FA's. What's Radulov's status?

I really hope we don't trade any of our D for forwards (or for anything) until we know where we're drafting.
