I know he didn't score last night, but I'm thinking of growing a full beard and knocking my front left tooth out.
All Hail ROR.
One of the best trades ever, especially when one considers we got mcGinn and Kasdorf as well!!

I've been trying for weeks now. The online store doesn't sell them and not even the custom store gives you his name as an option. I want the away jersey too and those are sold out for the year.

Hate to have ot look for a KO.

Doesn't seem to be an issue so far. He's played all 43 games.

So it can be said that his back issues seem to be all behind him ?

It's going to be tempting not to try to get a good pick for him.

If someone will give a 1st I'm good with trading him, assuming he wants 4M a year. If he want to stay for 2 years at 3M then I'd probably keep him instead.

Sooner or later we have to stop thinking about trading assets for potential, and just stick with the assets. I vote for sooner.

He is 27 years old and a big contributor to this team's success this season.

I don't see why we would have to trade him. I think there is no problem in extending him for 2-3 years especially with Gionta likely retiring in the next year or two, Foligno a UFA, and an obvious trade or buyout of Moulson on the horizon. Not to mention Ennis's slumping play and injuries this season.

Foligno has been looking very good lately. I can see him staying if he doesnt want too much.

I'd be okay with that. I would like to see him come back and get another shot at getting back into form but if we traded him for a defenseman or a decent pick/prospect I wouldn't be opposed.

Granted I don't know who the top prospects are next year in that draft or their caliber...

But I wouldn't hesitate too hard at trading the likes of Ennis, our 2017 1st rounder, and a prospect winger for a guy like Drouin.


I think that first next year will be in the teens at the absolute worst.

That pic just proves that Ginner and Ennis have some of the best flow on the squad. Hate to see it go, but ROR has potential in the flow department.

TM seems to disagree, though i don't see the value of trading ennis for picks/prospects either.

My thing about trading Ennis for Drouin is I feel like there's a good chance Drouin becomes Ennis-like. He has a higher ceiling, I just look at the two and wonder if they're that different that I want to also give up a 1st and a prospect.

I still think I would for the chance that he reaches his potential but that's something I think about first.

Being that we are in 29th place, I think they need to get what they can for whom they can, that wont be here in 2-3 years.

List would be:

Tyler Ennis
Johan Larsson
Marcus Foligno
David Legwand
Josh Gorges
Mike Weber
Carlo Colaiacovo
Chad Johnson

Jamie McGinn (trade, then sign again?)


Other prospects may get lumped in depending on what the return would be.
