Sanheim's chest is so narrow! Looks like he is 14 years old. Do you even lift bro?
I'm actually interested in watching some Phantom games this year. Since they are in Allentown this season, does anyone know if Comcast is going to broadcast any games?

Let's be honest: All four players -- Lecavalier, Roy, Jokinen and Ribeiro -- aren't worth all of the time we spend on them.

I pity David Poile. Those are the signings you make when you are a desperate GM, when you can see the axe swinging if/when you don't make the playoffs.

Let me put it this way: If I was a GM and I've missed the playoffs two seasons in a row, I don't think I'd be counting on Derek Roy, Olli Jokinen and Mike Ribeiro to save my ass.

Maybe if it was 2007. But not 2014.

The best thing about Vinny is at least he's just one guy. You can move him down or scratch him if he doesn't play well. It's costly, but at least he's just one guy. While the other three guys are cheap, they're still on your NHL roster.

This. Would you rather drop one big deuce in a day or have to run to the bathroom on 3 separate occasions?

Depends what day it is. I like to have one during the work week, preferably in the evenings. Weekends I'm fine with multiples.

Oh wait was that a rhetorical question?

Preds are glad they fired Trotz because a non-team guy like Ribeiro would never fly with him. I don't see this Preds team as a significant upgrade on last years. Besides getting Rinne back, I'd take Legwand over both of today's signings and Fisher is hurt to start the year.

Not necessarily. There will still be budget teams that need to reach the cap floor, or offensively challenged teams that need goal scoring.

Lecavalier may well end up staying, and if he does, the coaching staff needs to do a much better job of utilizing him-as well as the other players on the roster-at ES situations.

I believe...that may be Aube-Kubel.

Sheesh, get this kid Sanheim some x-tra large shoulder pads please.

I've played ground zeroes to death, i can't wait for V to come out.

I liked what little gameplay Ground Zeroes had, but I'm glad I Redbox'd it instead of buying. Definitely looking forward to TPP.

Once the season starts there will be league wide injuries up the middle. I thought from the start that would be the best time to move him.

I'd be ecstatic with 20 goals and 50 points...more important is if he's not an anchor that drags everyone else down at ES

With the number of quality centers on the market, it definitely tied Hextall's hands in an effort to move him. He still could end up getting dumped later in the summer or in season.

If he's a Flyer it's on Berube to find a spot for him, where he can at least not be a liability.

It's a tough one though. I'd hate to be the guy who failed to find a player a position on the team and then be tasked to try again the next season with virtually the same roster.

He's got to be more willing to break up his precious pairs. Giroux and Voracek together is great, but they can't play 60 minutes a night.
