If Perry has another amazing year and ends top 5 this year he will end up the 140 million dollar man I bet.

Anaheim is in a tough position if they can't sign those guys, but if they can get 4 1rsts each or a similar value that would be fantastic for them.

JVR has hit 20 if I'm not mistake, Mac too, Bozak got real close. Kulemin hit 30 and Frattin should pot more.

60 goals on your second line is about right I'd say.

Bozak may get 1/2 of his production off the top line,minutes reduced skill level reduced, Mac def needs grabo to perform, I expect alot from JVR this year if healthy and as for Kulemin he needs to stay on 2ndline if we dont trade him away, 3rd line will hurt him alot

now you're speaking english

Lol I would have put him on the third line but it is just so defensively responsible with Kulemin and frattin on the wings and Kadri is a top 6 player.

Imagine that.....2 teams offer sheet them both, anaheim lets them walk and they have 8 first round picks.......

In a stoppage we could pick 29th for all we know right? It's a lottery?

Only if the season is totally wipped out. I'd settle for half a season and tank from there. Who cares about a lost half season, when you are in no position to compete for a playoff spot. Burke has already decided that he won't play ball with the current CBA, with the Wild and Flyers taking full advantage at the last minute. It reminded me of the year, when the Blues went to the draft, after firing their whole front office, and never made one draft pick, because the team was up for sale. Like the Blues, we aren't participating in the free agent market.

They're unrestricted. No worry about compensation, unless the CBA changes.

Who do you replace on the second line for Kulemin though?
And I would say Bozak is about as good a passer as Grabvoski so I don't see why Mac wouldn't hit 20 if he was there.

Bozaks production will surely drop, I wouldn't say half though.

Kadri has to be on the second line and kulemin would be good to take a look on the 2nd line again.... mac has to go for a goalie no doubt but he would be a good extra winger hanging around if for say frattin, 2nd rounder goes for bernier.


Lupul JVR Kessel

Kadri Grabo Kulemin

Frattin Bozak Mac

Steckel Mcclement Brown

Yes but if they trade them they should get close to the value if they do it soon.

Mac has proven he is a 20 goal scorer and he has a really good shot and stays around the net to put the puck in, thats why i like mac hes good to chip in those goals and has that slapper

I think Carlyle forces JVR to center no matter what so the second line is grabbo, kulemin, mac.

Gotta see if these guys can get it going again, we need that second line firing on all cylinders

Change kulemin or mac whoever doesnt produce for kadri than we got something going on

Depends on the CBA. Maybe they have no trade contracts too. Not sure if they'd get value, unless the team that acquires them, gets to renegotiate their contracts first. Anaheim has been disfunctional, the last 3 years, so I wouldn't bet on pure Vulcan logic here.

I'd love to see a left field move by burke and grab a goalie no one has talked about yet

Dont care what any of you think, kadri has to be in the top 6. Winger or Center I DONT CARE. Had enough with the leafs stalling this kid to make this team yet alone be on a good line with decent players to produce... screw mac and kul, only one of them will make the line with grabo and kadri!!!!!

Seems every team that wins a cup since the lockout spirals out of control really fast.

I don't know but I want to be shocked and surprised and say where the (frank) did that come from, this is (frank)ing awesome.

ummm just a thing i noticed... grigorenko and dumba just signed entry levels along with yakopov? and some other 1st round guys? lindholm for the ducks? etc etc ........... LETS GO RIELLY

this is the way i see our forward group as it stands now... remember this could change A TON from 1 trade but right now this is how i see it, if your sticking with this core of forwards.. You have Top 6 wingers in Lupul Kessel JVR and potenitally Kadri who seems way more suited to be top 6 then top 9 espeically the way Carlyle likes his 3rd lines to shut it down... Macarthur is a top six forward, an average one that will put up 40 points for you on the second line. Kulemin has 2nd line potentital but with Carlyles style i would say his defensive style is way more suited for the shutdown line. I see our potential top six centers as Bozak Colborne Grabovski and Connolly as well as Lombardi who has very little shot of cracking top six. The way i see us having sucess is making it like this... our top six consists of Lupul Kessel JVR Kadri Grabovski Macarthur... Thats a top six that lacks one center and lacks physicality in a team that is supposed to be based around forechecking, now you dont need physicality to forecheck but it helps and we could sure use it. So i see either Kadri or JVR playing center (both are capable) and us getting a power forward winger being the best option moving forward... Because theres not many viable power forward centers avalible... and Kadri is a natural center and is good down the middle and JVR has the side speed shot two way game and work ethic to be effective down the middle. Although Biggs or Ashton may take that role in a few years i think getting one of Stewart Colin Wilson Clowe or Malone would be very smart moves by mr Burke... Theres probably other names but there names that arent really on the trading block and would have to be shockers.

No!!!
- maverickJ

Luu is not worth our 1st rounders, kadri, gardiner, any of our top prospects

Lol just saying it would be and opportunity to turn it around, It has really gone to crap since burke left
