ROLOSON TO NJ (E3)
The question here is, "Does NJ need a goalie? Should that be priority #1?"
I don't think so. I believe Weekes is plenty strong. What I don't believe is that anyone save Parise can put the puck in the net for this team. I do agree that goaltending can help your offense, especially when the other team is frustrated and starts to take chances. However, scoring in NJ is a HUGE issue and it has been amplified since Brodeur went down...
Flyers waiting on Shanahan?
I am also expecting a Shanahan news break shortly. Rumours do persist that the Flyers have offered Shanahan a deal and are waiting for his response. However, as of this writing I can not confirm that the Flyers have indeed actually put a deal in Shanny's hands and are waiting for a response.
Seriously, why would the Devils not put a substantial offer together for Shanahan?
