So you think that Steve Mason is the equivalent of Peter Sidorkiewicz (had to look that up, came within 1 letter of spelling it right) and that guys like Schenn, Simmonds, and Couturier are the equivalents of Jamie Baker, Sylvain Turgeon, and Bob Kudelski?

was mark freerzie on that team by chance?

Well let's just say that they'd definitely be one of the front runners for Matthews, and a top 3 pick would very much be in reach.


Would struggle to score even more so than now and can't defend.

Being bad is one thing. Being the worst team in the modern NHL is quite a different thing.

I'm guessing he was exaggerating and not being literal. But his main point was that this team would be...

Without Giroux and Voracek on a roster that can't score as it is, coupled with the worst blueline in the sport, they are the worst team in the NHL by far. Hell it's not a stretch calling them the worst team as presently constructed.

Call me crazy but I am willing to pay for it. The elite talent that is.

Its completely true that outside of G and V, its a bunch of (at present) mediocrity at best.

Need another young star up front from the draft. Top 3 pick isnt the worst thing.

If you want it fast, it won't be cheap and easy.

Cheap, fast, easy: pick two

That's all well and good. They're nowhere near as horrible as the 92/93 Senators, a team that had 24 points.

Star Wars is great! My favorite part is when Captain Kirk frees the Jews from Endor.

John Lennon was a grade A butthole of a person. The other guys seem pretty ok.

You know what? I really like Nirvana, but you're absolutely right.

I liked the part The Care Bears defeat the imperial army while the dungeons-and-dragons-infused hero sits around in a swamp for a few weeks with some old green man.

So we should play with 9 centers?

Aren't we already?

I like them, too, but come on, people, relax about them.

They're only centers if you look at them from the water.

I'll say this: both The Beatles and Nirvana were very influential and mark turning points in rock music history. They are also both very overrated.

The Flyers should just try playing 8 skaters to start the next game and see if any of the refs notice.

I thought he had a solid game, and he just had to do that bring himself back down again.
- PVL29

So if you think Luke had a solid game, why point out the one mistake by one player in a game where there was a buffet of mistakes?

the only thing that needs to change is his shooting percentage. He isnt the problem just is stuck right now. He has never played LW and wont start now.

Im willing to try Gagner at 1LW if he is up for it.
- YuenglingJagr

To me, 1 even strength goal in the last 60+ games is a major concern and tells me something needs to change. I'm not sure if moving him to LW is the answer but I'd try that or breaking up him and Giroux for more than a period.

With the investment they have made in Jake, they better hope he can adjust to LW if required.

Inspired from the Kings' thread:

If they'd do it, would you trade AMac for Dustin Brown if LA ate $600K to even up the cap hits??
