this is what I'd prefer considering Strome and Reinhart aren't available (or ready) and Nino/Donovan are not called up. Looks at least a little better, but I'm not sure Boyes doesn't drop down a line at least after a couple of games if he stays invisible

Hopefully by the end of the season it looks more like:

Moulson Tavares Okposo
Grabner Nielson Nino
Bailey Cizikas Ulstrom
Boulton Reasoner Boyes

Streit Hamonic
Visnovsky AMac
Martinek/Carkner Donovan

Nabby
Poulin

Yeah, I don't like my second line at all...I just don't see what else it would be, unless Boyes starts on the first line and KO drops down. I don't see Grabner-Nielsen-Boyes winning many battles in the corners on the forecheck...they'd have to do all their scoring off the rush.

I call b.s. boomer prob wants him. When's the last time Garth traded a draft pick of his?

Agree...but Bailey might be jettisoned out at the trade deadline...don't seeing him trade anyone who has signed long term like JT, Moulson, Okposo, Neilsen, Martin, Grabner, etc...

Thats really stretching.........Jyri Niemi, was irrelevant. I was referring to players who matter.....not later round draft pick who never left juniors.

I think he meant trading a player he drafted not trading a draft pick

Who?


The purpose of my statement (which i thought was obvious) was to prove that Snow isnt big on letting go his own draftees. It wasnt to find one that he's traded.....

If true, I just don't really like Connolly at all. Never really have. However...it's better than Gomez, imo. If he predictably gets hurt, they're no worse off than before they claimed him, and at least it would put Nielsen on the third line where he belongs.

I agree UIF. I'll take Connolly for a year especially if it pushed Frans to the third line. No way I want Gomez.
