This is what I'm looking for. The key details. What is Holmgren wearing?

I'd also like to know what size his Deer Park is. I worry if it's a liter bottle or larger, he's too quick to make these big commitments.

Interesting pick. I think Schenn may be a darkhorse candidate.

Not while Bryzgalov's in town.

Bill tweeted Carle may be had under market value. Said money demand not out of line and tagging space was the hold up of signing him so far.

I'd like to take this moment to say I'm a really big fan of Holmgren as our GM.

I agree. I do love Jake as a player, and consider him part of the core.

This team has enough goal scoring. If we add a forward, we need a hard nosed two way Winger. That can play well in both ends of the ice, and is strong on the puck. And can chip in some offense. This team doesn't need a high cap hit expensive player such as Gaborik.

Kubina hasn't been a good PP defenseman in a number of years.

- MJL


You are king of the straw man. Debating a 6th d-man.

As if adding a 3rd liner is the key to the cup.

I'll throw an egg at the straw man...Why don't you think we need an elite winger? Are you suggesting elite wingers are a hinderance to the cup, and that a 3rd liner has a better impact?

That to me, at least financially means they have to let Carle go. I do appreciate a lot of the things Carle does, but I do have to admit when it comes down to it, I am on the side that would rather pay Suter 7 million than Carle 5.5.

I would personally be targetting guys like Clutterbuck and Pahlsson for these roles. Or similar players.

- flyer_nutter


Agreed.

And Clutterbuck would be a great addition. He's a tough mofo.

Please remember to keep discussion to hockey and not each other. There's really no reason for the belligerence.

Actually, Briere told me at the Garden State Wegmans off Route 70 that he would consider going back to Montreal to play. Granted his three kids were throwing a loaf of bread around in aisle 6, so he could have been overtly blunt due to the distraction.

Please list your source.
BTW - Chris T. shops there and it is very difficult to acknowledge he was at one time a pro athlete.

If you travel slightly west you may seen D. Hatcher with his kids shopping for his dogs.

The writer of this blob.

I don't know which specific Blob but Bill has stated it before.

I don't know any of these players so I can only go by what other write.

When you break it down like that (Carle at 5.5 and Suter at 7), it puts things in perspective. We have enough depth at forward to make the extra 1.5m worth the while. Quite the no brainer.
