joe colborne is ready.
- aries1976


yup and could very well start as the 4th C. Not sure that's the best use of him, but he's up there.

Signing Gordon could hinder that possibility.

nope - we want a guy who can score more when Kessel passes to HIM = Lecavalier.

Bozak too predictably dumped the puck to Kessel every time, and heeled it into the corner boards when Phil passed it back

- Big_Lightnin


Exactly, Kessel needs another finisher on that line and Vinny would excel in that role while also giving us some size up front. Plus Vinny was 20th in faceoffs, Bozak was 25th, so an upgrade at the dot too.

if they get Gordon under contract, Colborne could play W.

Panthers are letting C Stephen Weiss, G Jose Theodore and D Tyson Strachan test free agency next week. #flapanthers

Another center to drive down the value of Richards and Lecavalier.

pretty sure he just had it... and if you take away his 8 pt game this year he was on 51 pt pace over 82 games...

what you see is what you get

.hmmm... 6 straight seasons avg 45 pts... ya that's not a player who's changing his game.

- Big_Lightnin



Guy posted his PPG avg over each season:

.62
.59
.64
.65
.79

Claims it's steadily increasing..... glucky claims looks a lot like 4 similar years with one outlier that happens in a contract year. Guy come back and says do you need a bar graph to illustrate better


Someone mentioned look at the sedins years 5-6 and that's gagner... yeah well they were PPG palyers in year 5 and gagner "was on pace for 62pts in 82 games"

I saw it....after you said something. saw it earlier, but it didn't say that when I first looked. It was about moving up in the draft.

I think Colborne sees another year centering the top line with the Marlies. He pushes and plays too good to stay down, Nonis makes room and Grabovski gets shipped out.

cause too many people haven't followed closely, and only remember what they saw 2 years ago.
- Big_Lightnin


you suggested ashton ; ). And hey, you may be right. They're not looking for him to be a scorer, just provide a 3rd or 4th line presence.

Not sure what compells me to say it, but: Lower. Put me down for $2. Not completely confident in it

Thats a tricky one though. Almost exactly where I think he'd sign.

We probably could, yeah. Doesn't he want to come here? Plus Nonis is a sly mother (frank)er.
Other GMs though? Not as much.
