A. this is never a bad thing
B. It's easy for the most part to go from center to wing.
C. Johansen could actually be someone who meshes with Evander Kane

True, sometimes. Not working so hot for 28 or 22 right now, and since we aren't scoring much at all it's hard to judge who on this team might be good candidates in that scenario.

I, for one, really don't want to see ROR on the wall unless we are so stocked there's no choice. He's too good now where he is.

Unless Zadarov turns out to be the next Weber/Karlsson/Chara....we WON that trade

even McGinn has been better than i thought he would be

They are the kind of tacos where the mere thought of one is enough to make your mouth water, and make you think of all the strange as hell yet funny commercials, 95% of which are aimed at pot heads who cant resist a 130am visit to the nearest location after thinking the thought that makes your mouth water. 10 bucks will get you a 5 sack and 4 tacos.

Then you eat them and about 15 minutes later you wonder what the hell you were thinking.

Repeat process at the next thought.

I remember you were a bit tough on McGinn earlier in the year. I like the guy, he brings it every night.

Can you beat them in regulation please? Don't want the (frank)ers picking up a loser point.
Also Girgensons is due and the Ducks are a mess. Pencil him in for a goal.

We could use the two points. And Girgs is really overdue, he needs to get going.

Same...do I want him on the top 2 lines after this year? No (get a free agent sniper who can score)

But in the event someone on the top 2 lines goes down...McGinn has proven he can be a more than adequate fill in

He's the perfect 3rd line LW. What makes him really valuable is he can go up and down the lineup and bring it.

Have they spent any time on the same line this year? Does Girgensons have trouble playing wing?

Me neither. I think Eichel should be put on his wing for a while

Well that was some fun back reading...

All I can say is:

Yes on Ryan Johansen...

Dude is 23, already has a 70 point season under his belt.

I would love to move him for Ennis and a 2016 first but it will probably take more to get him.

Torts tends to screw up players who are considered "lazy"

Funny thing once he left Vancouver the Sedin's found their game again.

This is where GMTM doesn't have much to deal with due to his moving all the picks and such but if he could pull off a trade without moving anyone named Kane, Eichel, ROR, and Reinhart I would be all for it.

Oh and:

I think he's been quoted as he prefers to play center, if I'm not mistaken. He has played some wing with Eichel, in spurts.

Yeah, think it was earlier this week he said he wanted to militarize the border... another one said earlier in the republican campaign that they should build a wall... then the rest of them agreed that a wall would be a good idea.
