I'd take Martine first and Hedger 20th |

Yeah, but if Datsyuk was younger....if all-new NHL overall draft was held to build all the teams from scratch I would take Stamkos now over Dats because he's younger - Zezel
Sure.
But Pavel today is arguably the best hockey player.

It's amazing that Gretzky scored 200 points multiple times and Orr still has the +/- record. With Gretzky, it was a matter of trading chances and Gretzky just always being able to score one more. With Orr, he would score and you wouldn't. Period. - Two_For_Truth
The idea that Gretzky wasn't exceptional defensively is a myth. |

His only defensive acumen came from the fact that he had the puck and you didnt. Even Oilers fans will tell you that defence wasnt really a priority on those teams. |

With kids like Rattie, and a loaded top 6 forward group, and the success they had with Alex Steen, I certainly can see a Liles, kulemin for Jaden, Cole swap. - mykokes
I could to except for the money Liles makes. That would be a lot of money for St. Louis and not much coming back |

Isn't that a distinction without a difference?
And, like I said in anotehr thread, he still holds the record for most SH goals, so he obviously did something right in his own end. |

yeah, and when you get 200 points you basically do have the puck all the time, that's just about the best kind of defence, totally overwhelming offence...not many teams have pulled it off but they Gretzky Oilers sure did |

I think a bridge deal is the better choice, if he does light it up and is a ppg player, I have no problems with the Leafs paying him for that. I like the approach that you pay a guy what he's worth rather than trying to get a "deal", especially for a team like the Leafs. It gives you way more flexibility going forward, and keeps the players motivated. Reserve the long term deals for 1-2 proven franchise players. - 13sundin13
It's a gamble.
We can project with a degree of certainty that he will be full value.
If we wait, he'll cost more, and who knows what our situation will be by then |

What does "care" mean? Do you mean Russians that play well in their old age? |

This.
I don't care how you play defense, whether it's having possession of the puck 98% of the time, or blocking shots and getting takeaways. |
