Every time Mitchell touches the puck it's almost a Blackhawks goal.

Scenario 1: LA wins and no one gets hurt, and they're my favorite team until the middle of June

Scenario 2: Chicago wins, you see me on the news tomorrow morning, and they're my favorite hockey team until the middle of June

no.

So for the next 5 to 10 years Giroux, Schenn, Couturier and Laughton will center each of their lines?None will be traded to fill another need at any point?

I agree some of it is Snider. But I don't feel his influence extends to saying get rid of that guy or get me this guy, in all but a few cases. Snider presses his GM's to win now, and makes public statements that force the GM's hand.

I agree it's not specific players, but Snyder needs to back off a few years.

Well the Flyers did get the 1st overall pick in 1975 (Mel Bridgman) for Bill Clement.

aaaaaaaaaaaah, NO Thank you

We said the same about Mike Richards. They're not two very different players. In fact a younger Richards developed much faster.

Yes, while he's 82, 83, 84, 85, he will back off, & then grow more impatient when he's 86, 87, etc

who the hell knows what happen 2 years from now, let alone 5 or 10. it's not likely that all 4 of them will be on this roster in 5 years, and who knows what the circumstances will be.

i'm simply saying right now, laughton does not make those other players expendable.

People who know more about Laughton than I do say he could play wing anyways.
