I heard the colour commentator was Doug McLean. I like him.

6.03 RHD . His plus minus this year has really improved. He can be tough but mostly he is noted for offence.

Benning really did an excellent job in scouting last year.

Tryamkin from the year before could be a steal also , but he won't come her to play on the Comets. It's NHL or KHL

I would do Vrbata to the Habs for Tinordi and third. Yes I know he is the second coming of Andrew Ahlberts

Sometimes I look at these trades and don't really care about the return, just want the vets to get out of the way of the kids. But even these late picks can turn into something, either a player that stays or they are part of a package in another deal.

I would not mind having an Andrew AHLberts available to us, would have been useful in some of these games. Felt kind of depressed as I typed that out.

I think Doug Maclean is one of the better ones.

I see it this way. By the end of the year Vrbata and his 12 goals won't get more than a third rounder. I knew this was going to happen and repeatedly said last summer the time to move him was when he was a 30 goal scorer. I knew he wouldn't come close playing on the second line.

Some on here kept saying you don't trade your top scorer.

Having Tinordi as a # 7 is just bonus and may factor in to a trade down the road.

Vrbata is only worth a third rounder. Take the bonus

Yeah I would take Maclean over a half dozen of those Ontario market monkeys.

Sucks but it's probably true now. If Vrbata gets to 20 goals by TDL then maybe a good 2nd can be had but we may have missed the boat on Vrbata. He'd be a good fit on the Pens...for Pouliot.

Vrbata will never land Poulliot anymore and he won't score 20 by TDL

That would be 17 goals in 41 games. So far he has 3 in 20

That's why Vrbata makes sense for Tinordi and 3rd. We do fine with his lack of scoring, think of how much more we could do with the cap space.

If I was JB I would pick up Ferraro off waivers. We have a roster spot available. His salary is 600k. He is an energy 4 th liner . Would give us fredom to trade Dorsesett in the Summer.

Prust & Sbisa are in tonight. Vrbata's a maybe. Sutter and Hutton are not.

Cap space will be there in the summer anyway...

It appears we will likely miss the playoffs this season, so these pending ufa`s will be moved if possible.

If we make the playoffs it will because everyone is healthy or JB picked up a piece or two for the drive.

It is all about the drafting. Needing dmen and some size throughout the lineup.

Even with these losses, I have been looking forward to the games, seeing youth in the lineup.

He sounds like a good kid but I`d rather have more size on the 4th line.

I have 1 goalie start for the week and none of my 6 goalies are starting tonight. I'm making my choices on who to put in based on which goalies are likely to get shelled and pulled for one of my goalies. Fml.
