Remarkably Fayne is only 30 and Volchy is 35.

Volchy but when Lou Lams says you're too slow, your too slow.

I'd take Fayne back with a crazy sweetener from the Oilers.

Sounds good. Fayne and Larsson for Lovejoy.

Methot, Hamhuis, Klingberg and Honka?
- BINGO!

2 of those guys weren't there, but they gave up the 2nd most GA/GP last year. Their goaltending was bad, but Methot for Oduya is a wash, if not a downgrade, and Honka is an unknown. More promising, but I just don't see much of a difference there between some of these other teams.

I see the point of this discussion, but the Pens proved last Cup (the 2nd of our B2B ), that you can have a no name D & still win the Cup??

So although interesting to see what hot takes are floating around, the blog is moot (or is that mute??)!

Who has Buffalo got on their D?

No one ever said Weber sucks. The trade to acquire him was terrible, but Weber is still a quality d-man. What I'm saying is that, outside of Weber, the d is awful

And it's not like I'm alone in my opinion on Alzner. It's generally accepted that he's overpaid and not very good. I was SO worried the Leafs were gonna sign him

I watch Alzner quite a bit last year & he is a pretty good dman, I was hoping that the Leafs would of got him, as he would of fit right in the top 4.

im a fan of hot takes and hot stoves. I go where the people need me
