I'd take Jones over Mack.

based this on wjr's?
Hard for me to comment on Jones because the only time I've seen him is at the wjr's . The other two I see all the time

Hasn't really done enough one way or the other. Gomez buyout offset by Therrien IMO.
- Pie

I agree. Although to be honest I like the fact he hasn't gone crazy making moves. Gomez was a no brainer.

thanks. I'm not doing so well in the EE pool though.
- dt99999


I am (frank)ing destroying this pool. I am thinking that there is something wrong with the count as I am 29 points ahead of the guy in 2nd place, after 3 (frank)ing games.

73 points to shnay's 44 and everyone else is relatively close, with Braiden's Ass bringing up the rear.

EDIT: Eat it Crims.

Andrew Berkshire: With P.K. Subban in the lineup the Canadiens top 6 on D is probably in the top third of the league.

I love PK, but that's ridiculous.

Without Subban it's BY FAR the worst in the league. With him i'd say somewhere in bottom third.

So send him to Detroit or EDM or SJ and (frank) Philly. Hows that for leverage.

Welp, the 'Dogs have fired Ron Wilson. Never liked that guy. Glad he's gone. Heard he was far from a good teacher, but he had a contract so they kept him around.

Jones could play in the NHL right now. I think that's what will make him go 1st. His readiness. He's not a bad hockey player either, mind you

Mack will start in the NHL next year too, but his impact won't be as big as Jones.

He was all over the ice in the CHL prospects game. I was impressed.

The need PK badly, but no one guy makes that big a difference.
