well i like the finland jerseys

dunno. wouldn't put money on Bergevin doing much of anything. aside from the Cole/Ryder/Briere trifecta, everything he's done has involved depth guys.

Realistically who could they move to make a big splash? Plek? Is it worth it to trade him? Markov? Old but still great. Eller? Paccioretty? Both young and part of the next "core."

yeah I don't think I can put up with another summer of it. it'll be a relief when the Flyers pick him up.

holmgren being replaced with mcguire would be the ultimate irony as he almost cost holmgren his job with the whalers

I love how 20 year later Pierre still dips in daily into these 60 games for his "when I was a head coach" advice.

Not making a splash.

Just cutting in salaries and dead wood a bit.

Once when he was an assistant coach, McGuire bragged about his strategy to shut down Mario Lemieux. This was after a 7-3 loss and four goals by Kevin Stevens.

Well this means it's time to make a huge panic move!!!
- WaterBoy

well said Marty, well said. because every single move that has ever been made by any GM in NHL history has been DRIVEN BY COMPLETE PANIC AND HYSTERIA.
believe it or not, there are GMs out there capable of improving their team via trade.

I think this too...

I don't mind Eller...I just don't think he'll live up to his full potential (or at least produce points to that level)... I think we got Galchenyuk and Plekanec as our 1 & 2 centers...and in a few years we can just upgrade on Plek and move him to the 3rd line...

that's our reply and our thought process because we're know-nothing fans. but i would hope that the GM isn't sitting there saying "well there's nothing i can do... i don't see any avenues to explore to improve this club."

Marty wondered if something would happen.
i said i wouldn't count on it based on Bergevin's track record as GM so far.

I had nightmares all night about Diaz being completely alone in front of Lehner and fanning on that pass from Galchenyuk

Speaking of money...

Our blue line should be one of the most expensive next year. ( of course after the Flyer's)
