Sign Gordon for Sure, even if he wants 2.5 Mac and Bozak are gone anyway, Bring on Clarkson Next.

Gordon's really not what we need... probably wouldn't hurt, but not worth getting hung up over.


Put the money into a guy who could be a #1 C.

Or build up the wings even more and let Kadri and Colborne take the reigns as our centers.

What do u do with both McClement and Gordon? They're pretty much the same player who would play the same role.

mcclement: 3rd line centre

gordon: 4th line centre

or vice versa

also.. gordon can play the wing just fine

Why did we get rid of Steckel again?
I'm having a hard time believing anyone would rather want Boyd Gordon as 4C than David Steckel.

Let's say we sign gordon, the line up looks like this:

Kessel kadri lupul
Jvr grabo kulemin
Frattin colborne komarov
Mclaren mclement gordon

Its decent

He has learned well from Tippett (best coach in the NHL IMO) and may be another good botton 6 UFA, like McClement.

Well the common response you're gonna get is steckel couldn't do much after he won the draw and he wasn't even winning draws too often last year. I think Gordon is a much better defensice system type of guy compared to steckel so he should do well here

yeah see how they play, u can move em around.

id honestly keep colborne in the AHL to start the season - injuries will happen and we know both mcclemment and gordon are versatile and could play wing on line 3 or 4...hell id be ok having mcclemment fill in top 6 if it were just a few games.
