I think it's human nature to ask yourself just how, exactly, the team would replace Timonen's 20 minutes.

I do believe you don't make it to that level without believing that your team will figure it out. But at some point, if it doesn't get figured out and the season goes off the rails because the defense just doesn't play at the level of a playoff-caliber unit, then I also believe the majority of players won't be stunned.

I would have to find some way to exact my revenge. It ruined my draft night to see him chosen by Pittsburgh. Anyone else would have been fine. Flyers would have been best.

I'd still take the flyer on him. Its likely the D will succumb to more injuries throughout the seaon. MDZ is young enough to be a depth player for the next few years. The kids will still get ample PT.

McBain on the first pairing is worse than any other defensemen we have right now apart from maybe Schultz.

Is there another 20+ ATOI dman out there right now? Granted, he has his warts, but he's actually not that bad of a player.

So he took the injectable form of the drug every day. I suppose that would work because if he had an injury with bleeding, the drug is metabolized out of the body quickly, compared to the oral med which lasts ~5 days (but can be reversed). Still in hockey it is a crazy risk to take.
- Marc D


....layer in the risk of air travels impact on clots (with a full hockey season) and it doesnt sound like we will be seeing him for quite awhile if at all.

Two sources are telling me now that the Flyers are finalizing a deal to sign Micheal Del Zotto.

Buffalo signed Meszaros to a $4m deal rather than resign McBain after watching him play a full season.

I can see the merit in giving him a one year deal here, but I would never pencil him into the 1st pairing and move Coburn out of his usual right-side slot.

Last year as they were tanking
Edit: not opposed but I agree with you that he is not a 1 or 2, at least in a PO team

next time we see him back he will be an assistant coach or a scout for the Finnish league or something

Remember, that is also the team that signed Gionta, Ennis, Leino and Stafford to $4M+ deals.

We're kind of beyond ideals now, right? Desperate times... desperate measures.

McBain on the 1st-pair is ugly... but so is Streit and/or AMac.
