Hell I would ask him to give up his captaincy to Hall or Eberle, the bottom line is no one likes Horcoff, everyone likes Yakupov.

I think he may do that soon actually.

Besides, we are looking for a room full of guys---at least five/ six guys---that have captaincy presence on the team, regardless of letters.

Hope they can find a way to trade Horcoff all together. A 7th round pick would have me sold. He's done his part here but the "C", the 3rd line position, and his contract have to be given to someone else...

Yakupov should wear "0"... I think that would be cool.

I think this is what he'll end up with, but I'd love to see him pull some weird sh1t and go for a "0" or "00"

Realistically happening or not..

1. Suter
2. Carle
3. Schultz
4. Jokinen
5. Konopka
6. Prust

As its very slim either suter or carle comes here, and the rest of the crop is thin/overpaid, i think we'll have to make a deal for our guy.

Signing jokinen and/or konopka improves us, and gives us the freedom to put a package together without creating major holes.

Nail seems like he's gonna fit in with this group of young rapscallions.

I was wondering if they would do Omark or not. Peckham I think you take and hope you have injuries so he can make it as the 7 or 8.

I actually had worries that he'd get an offer.
