If you could add one player to this team @ the trade deadline... who would it be and why?

Stasny (COL) 2nd line C, signed for another yr, would flourish in NY & getting a fresh start away from Landesklog & Duchene

Reality is they should just waive Reasoner now and either bring up Ullstrom or maybe even let Anders Lee get some time if he is signed when his college season ends.

ullstrom is on the roster he is hurt... lee will be signed as soon as ND loses and i expect him to be brought right to the island

From what a few people mentioned on here the guy can't skate. I've never seen him play so I can't say.

Did everyone see Reasoner's brutal misfire right in front of the net? He was wide open, and whiffed from point-blank range. Glad his contract is up after this season.
- Jethro09

But his battle level was exceptionally high. He really really tried to shoot that puck.

he is a c minus skater...everything else is off the charts...hands grit finishes checks leadership.. if his skating doesnt improve he is a 15-20 goals third line player. if he skating improves he could be a top 6 forward... he is a prospect that we should be excited to watch

Skating is easily improved...as long as he puts the work in. Just look at Martin or Tavares and compare their skating from their first seasons to now.

Enough of the BS. Snow has to make some sound decisions, enough with the excuses. I can hear them all already about we did'nt do this or that bcs we were close to the playoffs. Get rid of Streit, Boyes, Okposo. Get something for these guys and move on. Time for Garf to be a GM and put his big boy pants on. Don't take the easy way out and resign sub par players. I think if Tavares plays one more shift with Boyes he's going to implode.
