People put WAY too much stock into this "Carlyle type player" thing.
- Jeffmt



What do you mean?? Totally legit!!!
Haven't you heard? Grabovski is better then Bozak both offensively and defensively but Bozak fits RC's style better?

Makes sense, huh?

I just figured he came from the system that randy worked for in Ana. It has been said that the leafs wanted Schultz but they got Jake instead. I would think Randy may have had some say in it.

Nope. But you can't argue top 10 league scoring and on all accounts Kessel played a better 200' game.

Remember how Lupul wasn't a "Carlyle Type" player? He'll never re-sign!

There is a new rule in the CBA that if it is over a certain amount the team cannot walk away from it.

Ranger is at LEAST a #2

But actually, ya Ranger is the same thing, hopefully is a solid 3rd pairing dman with fraser. Then your spending no more than 2 mil on your third pairing. Contenders need to have cheap options to fill out the roster, thats why prospect depth is so valuable, you pull a chicago, win the cup, keep your core, trade any expensive depth players, fill with propects or cheap reclaimation projects, win cup again.

(frank) Ranger. I was in an elevator with him and, trying to be friendly, I asked him how he was doing. He cried. He could have snapped my neck like a pencil but instead he went in the corner and layed down in the fetal position for half an hour. Took paramedics 3 hours and the jaws of life to get the (frank)er out.

unlike burke and wilson, i believe randy and dave are on the same page...so randy does have a say in who he wants dave to try and acquire

I saw 3.1, whatever the exact figure is, you can't just walk away from it at any amount.

so then... that's it for Gardiner? Carlyle can't even be bothered to coach him? he's too much of a delicate genius? only ready-made 200-ft players are "Carlyle players"? come on. he's not a psycho. i'm sure he recognizes talent when he sees it.
