Ducks reassign Karlsson and Etem.

I do not understand that logic. Heatley is a shell of himself. Borque isn't going to light the lamp.

Etem isn't a 4th line guy and from what someone said the other day, that's where he was in the lineup.

Eh. I think Seedy's idea works better for the team. All you're going to get in a trade for him is a late round pick if you're lucky. Sign him to another 1 year deal and see what happens. This is all dependent upon whether he can consistently play like he has so far.

He reminds me of Sulzer. Eventually he will wind up in the AHL where he belongs

Yeah, I posted the lineup the other day. I guess it's hard to move Belesky/Maroon out of the top 6, but I feel like Etem isn't going to have a place in the top 6.

Belesky-Getzlaf-Perry
Maroon-Kesler-Silfverberg

I wonder if Anaheim looks to move Etem and possibly Smith-Pelley (though he is probably better suited for the bottom six than Etem)

I was making the joke that we have to trade everyone that is playing well. I don't want to lose him. He does his position well.

I agree. What good is a late pick that most likely will not pan out. Double his (celery). He does a lot of little things right.

Well you fooled me. Trading everyone is the norm around here.

I just think having a 30 year old around making what ever he makes would be a very good influence to have in the dressing room....he works, hits, makes decent plays.....and isnt making 5 million dollars and living like a king. I know theres a lot of debate about "good in the room" guys, "character," etc....but i think with all the kids that are and will be in the room, it might keep a few on track rather than slack off.

Manny Lawson! That is two solid ST plays for him tonight.
Bills looking like they want to take a weeks worth of frustration out on the Jets!

21 points from the Bills D and the Eagles Kicker this week for me.

I'm up over 140 points for the week

"serious" question for bills fans...can someone please explain why they rotate three tight ends and three running backs?

I still don't get why Mike Williams gets less targets than Lee Smith.

When you have 3 equally good of the same position, you don't really have a good one to depend on.

Well, right now they're still being cautious with Jackson I think. Plus Dixon and Brown haven't been bad. Jackson and Spiller when healthy are definitely better, but the other two aren't slouches either.

I can't explain why they do what they do at Tight End other than to say that it's been said Chandler isn't the best at blocking.

He's a red zone threat, we suck in the red zone.

Chris Hogan keeps dropping passes, I just don't get why they don't use him

How's that Kuemper W tonight, effers??

Glad I took Pominville and Parise.

73.5 - 72 plus when they catch up properly I'll get more points for my goalie W (Howard)

You know the old saying "If you have three quality starting tight ends/running backs, you really don't have one".

Although RB is now a committee position in the NFL.

I think the play calling has been holding them back and as for Hogan, he's played real well, imo
