Rick "I'm better than Kessel" Nash
- Unholy_Goalie


I wouldn't say that. Nash has played longer, but his production has fallen off since 08-09. In the beginning of his career you could argue that without retort, not any more.

I agree. I'd rather the current Kessel than the current Nash.

Potential?

So we trade a guy thats a 22 yo #5 overall pick,a nd a 30 goal scorer from a year ago, for a guy with no experience and worse numbers than Reimer..

WHY????

- mfreedman


But wait! There's more! For the additional cost of a 2nd round pick...

That sucks. I saw Kazakhstan almost beat the US today, that would have been the upset of the century lol...too bad it didn't happen. Although, the fact that the US has lost to Slovakia is pretty embarrassing in it's own right.

- mfreedman

Why do you all keep going to where he was picked? How does a players current performance have anything to do with where he got picked?

And Kuli has only ever scored 30 once...so if that will be your definition of a 30 goal scorer I'd say it's flawed. A 30 goal scorer in my books is someone you can depend to get 30 consistently....like a Kessel...

EDIT: And the reason why I like Lindback is that I think given his frame and size, he'd do very well under Allaire's style.

Oh gawd forget penner....we dont need more crap...we have enough.
When you say 180..do you mean a 180 from how they played up until Feb or a 180 from how they played the last 20 games?

- Fakepartofme


a 180 would be staying consistantly competitive for an entire season

You need some big bodies in the lineup. We were pushed around way to much this year....especially after the all star break when teams started to clog up the neutral zone and play playoff style hockey.

Penner? Really? That idea's still being tossed around? I'd say pass on that for sure.

Kessel also had cancer early in his career which takes a lot of wind out of your sail.

That is true for sure. But I don't want Penner as the "muscle" we lack.

Why don't you take a break from your bullpoop bashing and actually provide an answer....

What do you think is Nash's price point?

Looks like people are divided on how much time we need to develop some players and prospects, vicious circle.

i dont disagree.. however.. we have five.. oh wait.. now 6 new guys vying for spots on the marlies.. so.. room will have to be made.. a straight up FA signing probably is a bad idea all around
