Obviously, but the potential is there. And I didn't say all-star winger with size; I said a skilled power forward. JVR is that without question.

I'm gonna cut your face with an eraser.

Doughty has had one good year. Look at his other seasons..including this years bomb job.
- nikoli1206

What about his potential?

The guy will win several Norris trophies before his career is over IMO.

Trading him for Nash would be moronic for Los Angeles.

Habs finish 4th

I finish 1st, again.

Interesting.

Well, I'd imagine if you got Tallon in CLS over the summer he'd be able to attract a decent coach. Quality coaches don't want to play for nimrod GMs.

A GM is there waiting, which is why i dont understand howson still having a job...They hired Craig Patrick as an "advisor" to howson.

Joni Pitkanen had a better PPG average at the same stage in his career.

Just sayin.

When in doubt, its always the leaf player.
- shinebox

Yep. Good player, but not the guy some people seem to think he is. His play at the World Championships is way better than anything he's ever done at the NHL level.
- BINGO!

I disagree. He was the best player on the ICE when Canada won gold.

Good Lord...thanks for the giggles Ek'.

I guess that Kings deal was not "done " after all huh?

Keep the old random generator fired up for this one...and HB readers better get used to seeing the BJ's star logo until this is done.

No offense to you personally Ek, if I could make things up and get paid for it, I would too, but come on now.

That offer on that blog was laughable...and there are 3 separate Nash blogs running.

Overkill?

Pretty sound argument no?

The guy clearly has off the ice issues...mainly in his head and motivation. He has plently of potential, but he is now where near proven.

Question: WHO hired Patrick?

The owner?

The team president?

Or was it Howson himself?

Interesting.

THE HUMAN ERASER KNOWN AS LUKE SCHENN

Pretty sound argument no?

Air tight...Man, I miss PS...

He was an all-star at the age of 20, and was the best defenseman in the Olympics for Team Canada.

You laugh at the Leafs now, but when they get an Eller type and mean and lean Shultz type, look the (frank) out. We'll see who's laughing then.

JVR for Schenn...

Schenn is (frank)ing good. He hits and blocks shots. He's gonna be something special in 6 years.

Question: WHO hired Patrick?

The owner?

The team president?

Or was it Howson himself?
- BINGO!

I dont know, he was just hired in December. I doubt howson would hire him, as it would be like hiring your replacement. But at the same time, at the owners meeting last week howson was given the nod of confidence.

I disagree. He was the best player on the ICE when Canada won gold.
- Tknight61

At the Olympics? Not a chance. Dude didn't have chemistry with ANYONE.

Couldn't play with Crosby. Was basically a third wheel with Getz-Perry..

I think Nash is a very good player, but he never seems able to play with anyone with any consistency, and he seems to have trouble cycling the puck. Play always seems to die on his stick.

Just my opinion though.

Schenn is (frank)ing good. He hits and blocks shots. He's gonna be something special in 6 years.

JVR is hot and sexy and sizzles when you squeeze him...

Every single time if I'm the Flyers.
