I agree. But at the same time, you have to expect that any of those guys you have are going to miss some time with an injury every year. It's the nature of the beast.
As far as Foligno goes, I think he had a very solid year and played his most consistent hockey. The changes in coaching and all of that in the duration of what really is still a young career didn't help his cause any. Now that there's consistency there, I expect to see consistency in his game from last year to this year as well. - HonkFortheGoose
Didn't marcus' brother take a while to turn into a decent player who could play in the top 6? maybe he is in that same boat?

all dropped off quick
I can see the same with okposo
you can't teach speed and this team needs to get faster
it's why I want helm and yandle this off season - homiedclown
The only argument against Okposo, and why he's left off of the international teams (the good ones, not the WC) is because of his lack of speed. Yet he still manages a consistent 60+ points for the past few years and is still in his prime. Okposo and Moulson have different play styles, and saying that one guy will slow down solely because another guy did is a complete injustice to reason. You have a list of guys who broke down fast like Heatley, Richards, Brown, Moulson, and you have an even bigger list of guys who have been very successful beyond their mid 30's, like Selanne, Lindstrom, Jagr, Boyle, Elias, Datsyuk and so forth. Saying one guy will tire out because another guy did is completely unfair.

They go to a golf tournament to party. You can't beat going to a party with 10,000 strangers over 200 acres on a sunny day. Oh... and watch a little golf.

And are you seriously putting Matt fvcking Cullen in the potential HHOF list? - dadeadhead
This is not a HOF list. This is a list of successful mid 30's and beyond players. Which began by saying just because some players die out when they hit their early 30's, there's plenty that don't. So saying "Moulson failed, so Okposo (probably) will too" is not a fair statement.
Something about that comment
