He is? How? He is getting older and the style he played is a tough one on the body. At his best, he was the best. Federer could not handle him.
- kingcong39

Huh? Nadal has been up and down his whole career. For sure he has the capability of being the best player on the planet, then the next major he'll crash out in the first round..

I know grass isn't his main jam, but still.

Hes a right handed shot, didnt play on his off hand last year when he got into the line up, but hes a promising third pairing guy.

Watch them sign Brad Boyes
- Sabresfan-365

Honestly, If its short term why not? hes a Right shot RW decent production. Has helped us before.

Oshie to caps. I wonder if the Sharp price tag was too high.

Oshie gone .

Thanks for the correction. What are you guys gonna do on D, you have 8 guys signed.

I never thought he was on Murray's radar to be honest. The D will be his focus.

Avs carry 8 D all season, Roy likes having 2 extra D for practice purposes. If there are no training camp suprises (such as Elliott or Siemens making the team), the pairings should be

Beauchemin Johnson
Zadorov Barrie
Stuart Redmond
Holden Guenin

So if all 8 are healthy, he'll scratch 2 D on a nightly basis? Sounds kind of strange to me but if it works, ok. I can understand 7 though.

yup, scratching 2 Dmen is Roys way. He has played Holden as a 4th line Winger before so if things get really hectic with the injury situation.

Avs have too many 4th liners under contract, 1 of them is going to be on waivers and making NHL minor in the minors. Winchester, Bordaleau, Cliche.

So we added another Roch guy in Sanguinetti

So we got Bobby Sanguinetti, I'm guessing the farm ?

Yep, RD who played for Utica last year. He was a #1 pick (21) for the Rangers in 2006.

- sambarugh

I understand your point, but I would strongly argue it's injuries and his style of play that cause the so called ups and downs.

He has the career grand slam, owns 14 grand slam titles, and absolutely owns the supposed greatest of all time in Federer in head to head meetings. He is a warrior on the court and is a role model for how to compete no matter the score, whether up or down.

He doesn't just have the capability to be the best player on the planet, he has been the best player on the planet multiple times.

So we got Bobby Sanguinetti, I'm guessing the farm ?

Was on the Utica Comets last year, looks like Rochester is going to be pretty good.

HEARING COLUMBUS AND BUFFALO IN ON OSHIE

traded to Washington.

It sure looks that way. I wonder who the coach will be there? Cunneyworth?

Signing competent players. So far his choices are not what we are used too.

I'm glad....I really don't like Oshie for what we'd have to pay. Call me nuts, I'd rather have Brouwer. That one game with Team USA has elevated him higher than he should be.

This does make me think though that TM has plans to move a significant forward to get a D-man.

BWW on Elmwood before they moved, canadian group was in a littleroped off area. Police were on scene from the 3rd on... They got rowdy my friend went over to them he got laughed at. I had just got home from the Military and did not like him being laughed at... needless to say i was carried out by 5 buffalo cops and thrown in the car, taken DT and then released when i gave them my military ID. Lol

You were at a BWW in Buffalo? You deserved to be arrested.

I'd love to snag Jake Muzzin from LA. Like his game a lot and he fits age wise.
