Not close. He will be a very expensive 3rd liner.

Really? Well this is concerning, I was always worried of him when he was on the ice. Maybe 5 is a little too steep, but that's what we will likely pay.

your joking right? adam Larsson has great vision and passing ability? in 37 games he had 6 assists, who was he passing it to the other team. he does have an accurate shot, he hits the forwards in front of him every time. Merrill is the power play defenseman. adam Larsson and power play should never be put in the same sentence.

speaking of vision, I think yours is nonexistent too.

All your doing is basing your opinion on his numbers. He has been in an defensive role. His defensive play has improved greatly. He is only 20, I'm not sure what the hell you expect. Defensemen take longer to develop. Give the kid time before you start blabbering like a fool about things you clearly don't know. Obvious you don't actually watch games and just base your opinion on the stats.

You sir are stupid

I cannot believe that Dallas is trading for Horcoff.

Seriously... if Dallas is going to make such stupid trades, can't we dump our trash on them for draft picks?

larsson isnt worth poop, didnt ya hear?

Well if that's true, not a huge loss. But would have been nice to have the playoff intensity he brings.

Yeah, because the debs are making the playoffs.

bet your rags a$$ we are!!.....maybe

Larsson does have very good vision, in reference to the discussion above. He just needs to show more confidence and assertiveness in his play. The points will come. Some of the passes he does make, you can see the ability is there. The consistency of it will come with time. And besides that, he's such a smooth, effortless skater. Those kinds of players produce points, and he will eventually be right there.

Stunning commentary as usual. A true poet laureate of our times.

I'm hoping the Devils make an offer to Michael Ryder. I like the way he plays the game and I think he would work well in the Devils system. Even if we do not get him I hope they at least make him an offer. Maybe 3 years at 2.5 mill a season.

lol remember that time we had Eric Boulton... I just saw him on our buyout list, makes me appreciate Barch

Ryder's worth more than that. He was ppg playing with the Canadiens, but I have him producing like a second line winger and despite what people observe, his 2 way rating is high (maybe because he's smart with the puck). He's worth between 4 and 5.

Big, strong, goes to the net hard, but is far too streaky to be a top 6 forward not to mention he tends to try and get too pretty when playing with skilled players.

Yeah your right. We need help on the pp and maybe he can do that. If Clarkson realizes he is not going to the contract that he wants maybe he comes back to NJ but I would rather have Ryder. Better offensive numbers and maybe he could be on a line with elias and zajac. Any body hear anything on Henrique yet?

Word on the Twitterverse is we got Clowe.

Doesn't free agency open at 12? Last thing we need is some tampering charges to lose another pick.

Teams have been allowed to talk to players for a couple days but no one can sign until noon.

Ryder would be nice and so would MacArthur. As long as no gross overpayment is made.
