Hall isn't quite fully matured I don't think, not at 6'1 195.. Hell even Duchene is 200lbs and had been since he was drafted. He also looks like hes going to be coming in at more like 205lbs from the pictures I've seen recently.
Hall is still a wire.. and Eberle is just small. So back to my "EDM needs to add size in their top 6 argument." They need PRV to bring a physical element (He has the size, will he ever do it though?) and they need to replace Hemsky with a bigger physical winger that can still put up some points. - Steve-B
34 goals small...
and PRV being the physical element

Cause some lumberjack lookin street ho is giving you guys a tug job? Your best bet is to blow it up and start over. Maybe this time it will work - Van~Damage
Haha, I guess but don't take those out of context because it was a response to a troll who ignored 90% of what I said. My argument was that EDM needs to add some size and grit there as well as the need for a few of the top 6 guys to physically mature before EDM is really a dangerous team. That argument was also about a lot more than just size.
You can only bring in so many 18 year old kids without expecting some sort of learning curve and need for experience, especially when it's pretty much your entire top 6. That's all

lol @ Aaron - Steve-B
Last year, it was half our top 6. The Other half was Gagner (366 NHL games), Hemsky (559 NHL games) and Smyth (1,154 NHL games). And again, while he didn't get offensive minutes, Horcoff (765 NHL games) played the most minutes of any forward.
This year, I have no idea what the lines will be, but whether you mean it or not, you keep insinuating we're throwing lambs to the slaughter. We're not.
