If they blow this lead do we still blame Bryzgalov?
- JoeRussomanno


No way. Bryz has looked great in this game. Solid positioning. Laser focus. Good lateral movement. Really settling in...

it all depends on who they add. Adding Gleason isn't putting this team over the hump.
- PLindbergh31


No its not but if I can sign him it gives me another good defenseman for years to come with the current group. Definately an upgrade over what I have today.

Exactly, no trading what could be good pieces of the future for short term fixes that do little but stabilize the situation. Gleason's a great depth defenseman, playing the 4th or 5th spot, he's fine.

He's not a huge difference maker, though.

I'm not letting Harry Z, JvR or Voracek hold up a defensive upgrade. One of the 3 will be gone, imo.
- FlyerGuy


If one has to go I'm for Harry Z. I don't want JvR traded.

I actually think Bryz would have a shutout right now.
- stveshdy

You think he would have made that glove save on Grabner? There aren't many goalies that can make that save consistently....

Spot on. What do you think the ballpark asking price would be for Gill?

Laviolette is in the locker room right now telling them they got play meaner!
- MJL

he should have ... they've come out so far in the 3rd playing as soft as they did in the first 2 periods.

That's what I don't get. You want someone to take some minutes away from Timonen so he's not a zombie come April. You don't want to overpay for that someone and set the team back.

Especially when the folks proposing trades seem to want a scapegoat or player they don't like (perceived bust) out of town.

Bryz has made a handful of those saves for us this year, you can look it up on youtube.

Can't see it being much more than a pick. I'd offer a 3rd and see if that worked. Wouldn't go much higher, at most a 2nd for No Skill Hal Gill and a 5th or something.

Nope. He is out riding his bike to Toronto to talk about JVR.

People just wanna see the team go far and they can't help but caught up in the moment. Like telling that girl you met at the bar how much you love her.

I think a third would be as high as I would go.

That would be perfect for someone who can eat minutes and help clear the porch.

If there weren't guys like Gill, Allen, Staois and Zanon potentially available, fine trade a 2nd and Z for Gleason. Then you have to do it. Right now, there's options....maybe not as sexy, but they need solid right now.

If it makes you feel any better, the isles would have at the very least 3 goals which is Bryz's AVG, and about 2 would be deflections, so you couldn't really blame him.





Even though at the end of the day it's still 3 to 4 goals.
