Labrie's on the roster to bring a physical presence. He earned a fourth line roster spot.

Why is everyone on here so fast to cast Purcell off the team next year. I understand the Malone thinking because of being injury prone.

becsuse we have an overload of NHL ready wingers and can move him (position of strength) for a position of weakness,

maybe not too soon but itll happen i think

just look at it this way : would u rather?

purcell/malone

or

drouin // connolly (both got cut, both (drouin was a bubble guy compared to other wingers this yeaR) were NHL ready, and both will have another year of experience ready to go...

i mean drouin is going to put up 130+ pts in the Q this year lol next year will be his time

people forget that your roster cant be all goal scorers and playmakers. you need grinders and good forecheckers on roster too.

I like Teddy, but he has a tendancy to disappear for games at a time like Lecavalier did.

didnt want to lol

put malone down there he will tough it out ...its not like that line would be completely offense incapable, thompson and malone would put up some decent numbers together, hes gonna get hurt anyways
