Yes, because I forgot to include Lyndell invalidates my point that they're counting on a D corps comprised mostly of rookie or sophomore Dmen. As good as they may look, there are so many things that can go awry in developing Dmen. I'm not saying it'll be bad, just that they're gonna be leaning heavily on a lot of inexperience. Without strong goaltending to back them up, there are a lot of ways it could go wrong.

Pretty crazy that this Lindell kid was asked to play for Finland in the Worls Cup before he's even played an NHL game. Sky's the limit for him.

Ducks blow it - great job Murray - sign Boll for 2 yrs @ 900 per / but not Hudler - when you need wing scoring -

At least you got Vermette

last time i checked the point of hockey was to outscore the opponent, and with that firepower out front its sure looking like they'll be doing plenty of that

"inexperience"

They have Klingberg, Hamhuis, Benn, and Odyua to lean on if need be.

Bailey for Lindholm

And the crazy part is Honka is even better....

Bailey for Lindholm

seems unfair

Bailey and half of Clutterbuck for lindholm, fowler, and rickell

Agreed with bone. Unless Honka steps up right away and performs at a top 4 level their defense will drop off a notch from last year.

Do you want the clutter or the buck?

Probably being done as we speak - uuugggghhhh -

Possibly but I don't think it's a huge stretch to say they have a potential Lindholm and Vatanen with those 2.

this should be obvious. they don't say more bang for your clutter for a reason

Will Dallas really lose Nichuskin though?

That would suck.

The hookers in Dallas will be making alot more money now.

they prefer to be called cheerleaders

That was always the plan. Goligoski and Demers along with Russel were simply stop gaps until the young D was ready, and they are now.

That is more of a hope than a fact. Removing all those vets and expecting the youth to provide a smooth transition is wishful thinking.

Murray is not a very good GM

Especially playing in front of Niemi and Let one in.

Even better is they won't be playing a boring, difficult to watch brand of hockey while still being a good team.

Refreshing.

Lol Chicago strikes out again
