First off, his name is Matt Greene, not Mike.

Second off, Johnson was our worse defender for offensive production the last 3 years as well as worst defender on the defensive side as well.

Meaning, he had the lowest production regarding ppg while also allowing the opposition to have the higher ppg production while he was on the ice.

We may need another defensemen, but not one that is a healthy scratch some nights. We have a 7th defenseman in Drewskie as well as a stacked AHL/OHL roster of D.

Dude, please know what you are talking about before you say it. You may sound more intelligent. May.

i wonder how big the boobs would be for double J's (JJ)

toronto trading armstrong to one of the teams they are battling for 8th with makes no sense at all. if that trade actually happens ill eat my friggin hat
- h4a2u0s

Armstrong for Nik to take Grabbos place when we trade him for Brown ..wait...

Every fan base has their idiots. The Leafs just happen to have more idiots because they have a bigger fan base.

What kind of a fan am I? A realistic one I guess.
- StayTunedMTC

dude your letting the tanning and the silicon and the dumb blondes get to you

revisit Stastny!
- giroux02

You're 3rd in the league with Johnson and a Top 5 goalie. Your D is about to get a lot worse unless someone is added.
- Lipchitz

Dude you are WAY out of line here. Trying to say Johnson was our second best defender? Give me a break. How can the player with THE WORST +/- stat IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE over the past 5 years be our 2nd best? He would be the worst defender on ANY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. Stop trying to talk Kings hockey which you know nothing about please.

if you never make any sort of theoretical offers how are you realistic? your not actually anything in that sense

What else can he do? Iggy's not going anywhere... everyone has NTC's...

You try and get some half decent FA's to sign here. Goodluck I know.

kings fans are so testy, no wonder why flyfreaky likes them

Obviously what we need to do is trade Price for Kadri, Schenn and a 1st, since that's obviously what it takes to get any good player in this league.

Then we flip those guys over for Brown and Bernier! Problem solved!!!!!!....
- Saundies

Your problem won't be solved until you sign Price without breaking the bank.

Or until you trade Subban...more fights in practice than on the ice this year? Sounds like a great dressing room guy...

I miss LA... I moved up here to Portland Oregon about 7 months ago.

Maybe that's why I'm so grouchy.

I've never seen so many white people in my life, it is scary (I'm white myself.. but still).

So +/- tells the whole story about how good someone is?

Dude, Quick wasn't top 5 last year and we were still ranked high.

Sorry our D isn't full of sexy names. Names don't mean everything... production does.

And once again, Johnson was our biggest liability on D.
- StayTunedMTC

Whether Quick was a Top 5 goalie last year or not, I've got to watch him a handful of times this year and he is clearly one of the best starters in the league now.

The names don't matter but, the production does matter. Why do you think Scuderi and Mitchell got less ice time than Johnson? Perhaps because they were less adept in the situations Johnson was put in on a nightly basis. Their production will go down with more minutes (as they are forced in to less than ideal situations) and you are left to bank on a rookie with no real depth besides Greene... If you think the Kings are fine on D, go for it but, they'll be out in the first round as of now (unless Quick gets hot).

Do I?

What absurd proposal did I offer that was a joke?

Here's a hint, I've never offered one.

Jokes on you and your crazy segment of your fanbase, again.
- StayTunedMTC

Dude, relax on the constant Toronto attacks. If you're arguing with one guy, why do you have to lump all the fans into it?

Can we revisit Chris Stewart/Paul Stastny?

You try and get some half decent FA's to sign here. Goodluck I know.
- whipper334

Bartschi might help. I'd like to see some toughness on the D-line too.

- DarcyTucker16

I'm not realistic?

When I see something stupid, I say it is stupid.

That to me is being real.

When I see a dumb trade that does not make sense, I say, "Hey, that's a dumb trade that doesn't make sense."

I'm a buzzkill if you want to call me anything.

kings fans are so testy, no wonder why flyfreaky likes them
- dmarsden2988

Right, so if I started saying Steve Bernier was your second best forward you wouldn't say something to me? Got it.

coz he likes to squeeze the juice....

BURKE has Band aid players to give up ...why the LEAFS front runners..

So +/- tells the whole story about how good someone is?
- woopstash

As a defenseman, when it's THE WORST IN THE ENTIRE NHL? Yes it does. And so does watching every game he's played since he's been in the NHL.

I don't need to look at the stats because I've watched the Kings a lot over the years and talent wise Johnson is a Top 4 D-Man on any team in the league and significantly more talented than Scuderi and Mitchell.

the way you go about it is all testy thats all im saying

I'm not lumping all fans in. Quite the opposite actually.

I was actually defending myself saying I don't lump all fans in one boat. You have your crazies, and you have your sane ones.

I talk with plenty of cool Toronto fans on here.

I just got off the phone with my buddy and we were saying the same thing...I'd love to shed the three mill, but I suspect a healthy Army is a beast in the playoffs...beside, Winni is big and tough enough to push us around right now...

This is the type of player the Panthers NEED. What's the price?
