You misinterpreted what I wrote.

Komisarek could help with ticket sales...in the ticket office.

And punching holes in them as the eleven fans come through the turnstile to watch the game.

Oh...I was gonna say. But I do agree with the turn style thingy.

that is what I said...and the previous one to that better still...

.. those were the days..

Carlyle says plan is to have JVR at center in pre-season and they'll go from there.

no harm in seeing what the guy can do.

Unless Reimer/Scrivens stand on their head...I really don't see how next season will be any different than the last.

But then again, Burke claims that the current roster will not at all look the same come puck drop of opening day.

hey, anybody complain about my aids joke in the Ek thread yet? Just flyer fans in there at the moment so I think I'm safe...

Could just be posturing as well if they are in talks with a team about a centre and they are using the "you don't have any other options" line to increase their leverage.

So now we have too many centres

JVR, Grabbo, Bozak, Connolly, Lombardi, MacClement and Steckle
Hopefully Lombardi is gone at minimum.

JVR has taken 10 career faceoffs.

He's lost 8 of them.

JVR at 1C and McClement at 3C, where does Bozak fit in?


He doesn't.

So where's Connolly and MacClement playing - it is on the wing?
Kadri and Frattin in the AHL again?

Remember when I smoked you in nhl12?
- jbold

Remember when you had a wide open net for the game winner and you completely shanked it!?

Yeah, I'm sure many other experienced GM's are really going to fall for it.

I'm pretty psyched to see how well of a season Phil Kessel has next season. Over 40 goals, and flirting with 100pts I bet.

The offense will flourish under Carlyle.

All backtracking since aside, Jimmy_T called JVR a 100 point center- now he claims he was just talking potential. I don't think we'll have to hear a "told yea so" for that... though I'd love to.

As for trying JVR at center, I think you're just attaching that meaning to it. Preseason is when you try all these different things out. No reason not to try a guy drafted as a center out at center in preseason, regardless of who else you have there.

Who knows, he might end up centering Grabo, who'd probably be better on wing given his size.

But still not enough good ones.

It was a dumb idea then and its going to be a dumb idea come October.

Would you call that a good sample size?

But still not enough good ones.

pfft, 100 points from JVR, 60 from Grabo, 40 from Bozak... we're (frank)ing set.

Let's be honest: at the moment, trying it is our best option.

Bozak at #1 = no playoffs.

I've said that for the past two years, and not to brag or anything, but I'm 2-0 in predictions.

JVR at 1C and McClement at 3C, where does Bozak fit in?


He doesn't.
- jbold

Can you see JVR playing with Grabbo?

Would you call that a good sample size?
- Feeling Glucky?

Yes.

A good sample size that shows he's inexperience and doesn't play center.
