A lot of fans think the top 6 is not the problem and they are all just fine because they have put up numbers. But putting up numbers and losing means nothing. They play soft. They play weak and they play pond hockey. That will get you numbers but you won't ever win anything.

Name me a team that has won a cup where the top players on that team were soft and floated but produced, yet still won it all.

I heard the same thing. Can he even hockey this season?

I swear some fans would make any trade cuz someone was good 6 years ago

Also, from what I've read, he's close to 300lbs.. That's what we need... Byfuglien will be the Bartolo Colon of the NHL

Post after post of this stuff....off the top of my head

Team of Kessels
Trade Barrie and Kap for Risto
No effort
Globetrotter hockey, will never win
Marner plays like he is in a beer League
Fire Shanny, Duabs and Keefe
Cant teach heart
Give the C to Matthews, Tavares is not a leader

and several thousand Nylander ones...that we all know very well

- senstroll


I thought the "Team of Kessels" was hilarious.

I'd welcome a Subban trade.

Buff wouldn't be able to move and Marincin is too scared to move.

I think these are both wrong answers.

manson would be my first choice.

i just don't think it should cost more than what we paid for muzzin. probably a hair less.

Guys like Freidman and Lebrun are saying it will have to be a massive overpayment...It is possible Murray is just playing hardball.

I read an athletic article with an agent poll.

The question was "Which GM is the hardest to deal with?"

Murray was picked the most by 4 different agents. One said he doesn't listen to both sides of a discussion and just wants to win every deal. Probably whats going on here.

manson is older than i thought and probably won't fit into the ducks long-term plans.

an asset they should move.
