This is a nonsensical statement.

I agree, son of Finwë.

As much as i hate talking politics or reading about them on a hockey blog, it's better than reading a panotch, seravelli, or carchidi article.

I want nothing to do with Miller. Never liked him.
- Flyersgod

I wouldn't be too concerned his cap hit is way too high for us right now (larger than Bryz's). We'd have to send some serious salary to Buffallo to make it hapen. I find that unlikely.

I'd sign Ballard.
- flyersfan51

Yeah, he was a legit top-4 dman before AV buried him... skates well, big, can move the puck.

Gilbert's another guy who I'd look at if the price was low enough... good puck-mover, right-shot.

Both Halak and Elliot are UFA's after next season. You wouldn't think they'd want THAT much for them. Right?
- FlyersGrace

It'd decrease their value about as much as it'd decrease Read's. You'd think we would work out an extension with Halak or Elliot before trading for them, though.

Anything is better than reading something they write.

What do you think the Blues want for Halak?
- stveshdy

Considering his UFA status next season, I'd guess the price isn't crazy. Certainly not Schenn or Couturier. Maybe Read and a pick?

id rather get thomas....for one idont think he is going to put up with the media crap.

Halak is probably the best option out there. Although I still would take a shot on Nabokov for two years.

Ballard is actually pretty small... 5'11'', but he is stocky as hell. Id take him at the right price.

I'd sign Ballard.

If we do end up unloading Coburn and Meszaros and not receiving a top 6 d-man in return, Ballard for 2-3 mil per would be a nice signing for the bottom pairing.

- JAKEw1234

I don't think it would be a good idea to work out an extension with Halak before seeing if he fits in here.

We aren't looking for the most talented goalie, we're looking for the goalie that fits the style that we play here.

Well, that's my Herb Brooks view of it.

How old is the baby now?

This d-core needs a shake up imo.

HAHAHA it would be entertaining. Not sure we need more of that right now though.

Not really. The 'mismanage a trois' you mention at least can be debated in black and white.

- Rocktane

With Thomas and Nabokov still as UFA options, I don't know if I'd even give a pick.
