JR just ripped a guy on the caps cause he took a puck to the face and he said looked like he got shot...if anyone should know it would be him

Maybe it hurts more if you're head isn't empty.

yea im glad we didnt trade some kids for nash... should be fun to watch these kids for years
- Slammed81

Umm I know, rip me, I think Giroux & Nash would have been unreal together, I know $7.8 million a year, but he could play with a broken arm & knock in 20 next to Giroux

Schenn is showing some nice flashes. He has games where he struggles, but the kid's a Helluva player. Known as more of a playmaker as a prospect, but he's not afraid to shoot, either.

Since the Winter Classic, he's looked more and more comfortable with the NHL. I'm rather happy with that Mike Richards trade right now.

Never say never. But I really like the young talent they have on hand.

Especially with Mike on his way to a 40 point season

Thus far, they have done pretty much what I expected-added defensive depth at the lowest cost possible. I think that the next piece should be to add a guy who can do what Betts did-PK, win faceoffs, shore up the defense on the 3rd/4th lines.

I don't see getting a premium for Bob.

That said, It's hard to be surprised by the Flyers.

I would like Gaustad but not for the price there looking for

They would be. My concerns with Nash are his cap hit and what assets it would cost to get him. He'd be an absolute monster next to G

i dont think he will do anything major but i guess will see

I wouldn't be amazed if they ended with a guy like Pahlsson. Dom Moore wouldn't have been a bad addition.

I figure a bit of that is playing on a Kings team that couldn't find the back of the net for their lives. Of course, on the reverse I assume he shares some blame for that.

Did you watch any of NHL36 with him tonight?

For that cap hit and how much it would gut our depth, he would have to score 70 to make up for it.

That's all I could think of, the Rangers couldn't afford him with the 3 big $ guys they have, as well, who has more to offer in an enticing package then us?

Pahlsson wouldnt be too bad

I really don't want him for the price he'd carry. Not to say he isn't a desirable player.

No i didn't see it

he was my favorite player when he was here.

Who actually is available that fits the cap friendly/defensively responsible/ wont kill us in a trade checking forward?

Because I think that could be the missing piece. That all assumes the goalies get their act together of course.

But If they do nothing and go to war with this group I am fine with that.

I do sometimes ponder how his continued captaincy here may have panned out, not out of longing but out of curiosity.

i watched it and it was pretty interesting. Especially Richards hitting the gym after a loss.

Not a lot of guys that fit the bill, cap wise. They'll have to trade a body, being at 50 deals. Homer's not afraid to make a deal, though. We'll see what happens, obviously, but I agree, if this is what we start playoffs with, I'm good to go.

Love the positive atmosphere today.

yea he could of just did that cause the cameras where there...not saying he doesnt do that but it could have been for the cameras too

If he was carrying Briere's hit? No problem.

My only concern is Coutrier hitting the wall and becoming an ineffective penalty killer. Read has really struggled short-handed lately, and we might run out of bodies there. Adding a guy like Moen or Gaustad could really help down the stretch and into the playoffs.
