Who cares he's not a number 1 center and will never be, Matt Stajan is more a number 1 guy then Hodgson IMO.

Hope your joking with the Stajan part.

No why? Hodgson is not a number 1 and Stajan is a good player that can win FA as well something we are weak in. to much pressure on Hodgson to be a number 1 , you bring in a guy like Stastny and put Hodgson on as the number 2 center.

Hope your joking with the Stajan part.

89 never jokes.

27 having a nice game so far.

Thornton gets 15 games.
- metzeric

I know it's a lengthy suspension and all but I still believe he and neal got off easy.

What Neal did was down right ridiculous, even if it was to that gutless puke Marchand. And what Thornton did had shades of Bertuzzi-Moore all over it.

Also did I just read about a possible Canada invasion? If so, the very least you could do is start with the city of Vancouver (I kid, I kid)

Somebody has to take life seriously.... I know I never will.

I would have liked to seen Filppula in the Blue and Gold.

That was a trip on Foligno?

GM coming soon?

Everyone is talking Reinhart and tanking? Look at Edmonton, hasn't worked. We have loads of $$ (salary cap floor) coming up next year, get some top young experienced FA and compete next year. That's LaFontaine thinking, trust me.

Throw $$ at:

Ryan Callahan
Paul Stastny
Yandle

Give McNabb the ice time he deserves

Big Z - future captain!

Move Miller/Ott for a young 1st line star.

This is the more realistic approach, not continuing on this path. Look at Drouin down in the minors, nothing is given

Throwing big $$$ at free agents works?
Rangers disagree
Minnesota added Parise, Suter & Pominville and still aren't a top team in the league
Plus,
You're totally naive to think those players would sign here right now
Vanek wouldn't stay here to be the highest paid player in the league!
So why would those guys sign here?
Remember, Brad Richards wouldn't even take a meeting with us

I wish we could get top free agents like u suggest
But it's just not very likely
No matter how much $$$ we'd throw at them
Those guys will all sign for big $$$ with teams already in the playoffs

Kings seem to be dominating everyone lately.

What's scott doing in the lineup. Now Ellis doesn't have a chance. It's like McCormick and Ellis are a 2-man line.

It's Matt "Freaking" Ellis! If he can't do it nobody can....

Not NAIVE, just opinions on the future.

That would be ok for now with me, Moulson, Stastny and ? as of now Stafford
- SABRES 89

We reall need to sign a center and winger this summer. I am not against over paying a few players for 2 or 3 seasons to fill the gap. Stastny and who else. Most good ones won make it to July 1

MFE is so good Calgary needed 8 players to score. True story

Whatever u wanna call it?
I'd love Callahan too
Just seems nearly impossible that guys like that would sign with us right now

Probably. I don't remember how many were on the ice I just know it was an arse load

I see no one Callahan makes it to July 1 so you can forget about him.

Is there a hooker in the penalty box that foligno really likes? And did I hear that fox song playing at the arena between whistles?

I agree in the past, LaFonatine will change that!

Hit 3 posts, really!

I think we're still a few years away
Why would Callahan sign here when he could go play in Pitt or LA or Boston...
I dont see major UFAs coming here until our youth starts to grow up and we start to push for the playoffs

I do like your optimism though

Unless San Jose decides to go for a full youth movement, there will be no "household" names making it to July 1st.
