Nah.

Honestly a guy like Foligno would make more of a difference IMO.

Gerbe's useless.

3rd line dime a dozen plug.

I would agree with that
That's if he plays his game

I'm sure a lot depends on how Girgensons plays this year but I will be curious of what kind of contract he signs as a RFA after this season. Maybe a 3-4M 2-3 year deal?

Can you explain to me what the deal is with Drouin? Why was he basically a healthy scratch this year and in the playoffs? Defensive liability? Size?

now they are saying that he could be the piece going to PHX for 3rd overall.

I'm not saying he's worthless he has the" Stafford " thing going on and I wish he put everything in it not just 4 games then nothing in the next 15
- gerbe75pts


Considering how bad this team was, the fact that he was only a -5 in 57 games played tells me he's not the problem.

I think he'll be just fine as a 4th liner that you can use on the PK and if you really needed to, spot duty on the PP.

CCM just signed McDavid, my guess is Bauer, he uses Bauer sticks and skates already

He wasn't ready.

He thought he was.

Wants to take his stick elsewhere.

I'm kind of hoping that Murray gets a deal done with him before the end of this season. If I had it my way, he'd have a nice shiny new contract before training camp even starts.

He got the vanek treatment like in his rookie year

He is going to explode next year you watch I would love him

That's a player you trade for fast when available and it could be a Tyler Seguin part 2

He played 72 games this year. Cooper said that his defensive game needs work still so that's why he wasn't getting time in the playoffs originally.

If possible wait to move 31 until Saturday.

-Gives teams a night to adjust and organize a deal for a player that may have slipped
-Maybes there's a player TM likes
-Im OK with lack for 31 but there's no harm in waiting until all the chips fall

He had 32 pts in 70 games this year.. only 4 goals... but what is so "unready" about him. I feel like I never saw him.

The powers in charge felt he needed to earn his time, he didn't.

I'd do it. Shows the rest of the group that you're committed to the guys they keep saying are the building blocks.

Doesn't hurt that the whole locker room gravitates to him either.

Like many youngins, he was a efensive liability is what I heard...probably from Hamilton on WGR.

I use some insider info to come up with the Bauer deal. Both companies are excited for these 2 guys. It's Crosby and Ovi in their eyes. Crosby was a Reebok guy (owned by CCM) and Ovi is a Bauer guy. From what I was told they expect these 2 to carry the brands in a few years.

Bauer is pumped because like Patty Kane, Eichel is American.
