Actually, Harrington has more of a bottom six look than Dumoulin. Dumoulin is a great puck mover and a really strong defender in space. He isn't physical but that doesn't stop him from being a top 4 guy. His style is similar to a Paul Martin.

Despres has been great in the AHL playoffs though. He is ready.

Highly disagree on Dumoulin having watched him in person every home game since he got here he is not a top four on the NHL level. Harrington is an AHL rookie this year and he has already stepped up moreso than the others in his position. If Despres wasn't sent down, Harrington would be a top four. Dumoulin can move the puck however he turns the puck over and often makes bad decisions when passing. Case in point disappearing on the PP to let Sheary run the point leading to 2 missed short handers last night.

Seriously?

I don't think anyone else on the market would block Weber's one timer twice in a row!!!

Nice Reverend! Harrington is my boy. He's the one I looked up to the most. He'd be a Nice replacement for Scuds (If we could trade him).

Määttä/Harrington/Despres/Bortuzzo
Letang/Martin/Niskanen(perhaps)
(Dumoulin/Samuelsson)

We look fine on D.

Sill, Zolnierczyk and Megna deserve a look in the bottom line.

I'd want to sign a couple hard working guy that go to the net also: Kulemin, Komarov and B.Pouliot.

Goc/Jokinen stay with the team. I liked Stempiak too.
