No. His stick-handling is fubar.

That's what I thought

That's where I disagree. Paajarvi is worth a good deal more than Matthias if only on draft pedigree alone. He's also shown more offensive upside than Shawn while matching his defensive capabilities. He's only beaten in physicality, but that's not enough to make up for the discrepancy in skill.

Also, that line-up lacks grit.
- MaximumBone

If anything that lineup sacrifices too much skill for perceived grit. How do people even analyze grit anyways? It has to be the most vague and pardon me, useless term to apply.

uh oh? or woo hoo?
- ystoil

Uh oh. Clarkson was rumoured to be asking for 7 years at 6 million per.

We got them by being the worst team in the league for way to long. Fair weather fans are getting sick of this crap. Like I said before I may not be right but if they made a big move and it didn't work out id be more happy then always waiting

Fixed!

Chicago didn't trade Keith, Seabrook, Toews, Kane. Traded Skille but 6 years after being drafted when they knew he wasn't going to do anything.

I believe they said on draft day as well that Chicago hasn't traded a first round pick for 15 years. It is do-able. What we lack is our free agent signings.
- ystoil

Kane and Toews are rare talent, as I do think are first rounders are good I don't see them being that good. I do agree about the free agents not signing here that's why im saying we would need to trade a young gun to get value back. The oilers couldn't even trade hemsky and horcoff when they still had talent, don't worry they'll never trade the young guns I just get mad with this team from time to time.

Drive to go into the dirty areas consistently, playing the body consistently, willingness to drive the net and set up shop in front of it despite the beating. You know, things that it takes to win. Google the term and you'll find:

grit (grt)

1. Minute rough granules, as of sand or stone.
2. The texture or fineness of sand or stone used in grinding.
3. A coarse hard sandstone used for making grindstones and millstones.
4. Informal Indomitable spirit; pluck.

So grit would essentially be quantified in a way that is variable depending upon the evaluator's perception of "what it takes to win" is, but I'd argue it's a legitimate trait.

I did so! A guy at work (Oil Fan) who follows a different poopty Rumor Site told me that MacT insiders say he is going to win the bidding war because Clarkson is just what the Oil need. Says Tavish will give him whatever his agent wants.

You interrupted my 5 gallon pail of Shrimp, Bucket of KFC Gravy and a litre of Cola to write this, I hope you're happy.
