according to John Buccigross, Carter ranks as player no. 99 in the NHL:

Jeff Carter: Columbus overpaid for him. I see him as a sniping winger, not a center. He scored a lot in Philly because he shot a lot. His shots are way down this season. Incredible release and good size. Poor playoff numbers and casual play are turnoffs for me. There is so much promise here.

thoughts?

His shots are way down this season because he's been out a lot. In the past his injuries were not usually in season, but during post season.

If you extrapolate his shots to date to a full season, he's about 85 short of last year's pace, and 70 shy of the year before.

Of course, his linemates in Columbus like to shoot, too. That'll cut it back in and of itself.

I'll leave the original to BulliesPhan. I liked Quinto...I thought Abrams did a great job with his version.

Now they’re back in the Blu-ray game again, helping CBS Home Entertainment remaster TNG in HD for its long-awaited release on Blu-ray. First up, on January 3, will be Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Next Level, a sampler disc that will include the feature-length version of the pilot, “Encounter at Farpoint,” as well as the episodes “Sins of the Father” and “The Inner Light.”

I'm very excited about the Blu Ray TNG release upcoming. It's a delicate thing, because they have to recreate all the special effects (which were only in standard definition). It sounds like they're making all the right decisions, or in other words the opposite of what George Lucas has been doing.

Oh my. @TSNBobMcKenzie just said on NHLLive that he wouldn't be surprised if the Kings were in on Jeff Carter. Wouldn't that be something?

Quinto did fine for a guy playing Spock in a Star Trek themed action movie, which I thought was a fun watch.

Would be the best thing for him and Columbus needs a goalie.

I'll most likely wait for the box set to arrive at some point. Loved ST-NG.
