Pirri's the guy I want to never see again of those 3 you mentioned Jan, when Hayes is back.

Klein brings no offense and almost no defense lately. Clendening brings some offense and very little defense. If you're not going to at least hold Klein accountable for some major miscues then you have to stop holding Miller, Skjei, and anyone else accountable.

Dundee, I am entitled to my opinion and watch the attitude please. I praise when it's deserved, the same with criticism. B, if you read it, was being tongue-in-cheek. Trust me, have much better things to do than waste my time or anyone else's posting something that is repetitive or not worth reading, if that was the case, would make my blogs one paragraph long and not bother putting any content in it.

Look who is talking about beating into our heads with comments or have you forgotten you posting about Mac and Skjei repeatedly? Plus, I am not the only one saying Klein should be benched.

Apologies for the rant in the response. But think I have taken a ton of criticism and gotten my tongue. I had enough of it.

Kind of worry about the cumulative effects of Stall's multiple concussions. He might be one hit away from being Pudding Head Jr.

St Louis needs help at C. We need to figure out what to do about the expansion draft and which 7 guys to protect. Do u think teams would do a RHD and young C with upside for Stepan+? Something like Stepan and a 1st for Hamilton and Bennett. Stepan for Shattenkirk and Fabbri. In both instances the foward is protected from the draft bc it's only their 2nd season, maybe we add a little bc of that but when you look at it, it saves you from having to trade picks to keep a guy like Grabner.

Trade Step to keep Grabs?

Looked like Fabbri could be out for the remaining of the season...

I view Fabbri more as a winger than a true center. Yes, you can move Miller back there, but that makes Hayes your #2 and weakens the team down the middle. I view Bennett the same, and while the upside is there, why rob peter to pay paul?

True dat!

Stepans NTC kicks in thus summer and I don't see his 55 pts worth 6.5 million dollars. I think Zib and Hayes are fine as our 1st and 2nd line centers. We need a RHD. Is Stepan more important/better than a guy like Miller who everyone thinks is so disposable? He's going to be 27 years old with a career high of 57 points making 6.5 million and we have 2 guys that are very similar if not better than him at the same position. Gets us a top RHD and young C with upside to play as our 3rd line center I do it.

This might throw a kink into that deal.

they could possibly trade Stepan before July 1st, but they aren't trading Stepan before March 1st. It would be one of the more shocking things they have ever done.

A Ranger & a Falcons win today will make us all relax a little.

Jankeep up the good job. Agree with most of what you say most of the time, IMO, I ki DA of think we are all in the same page

I could see either one but yes it's more likely after the season. Step/Zib/Hayes all on pace to get 59-61 points. One makes 6.5 million and the other 2 make 2.6 each (yes due for a raise).

Also, no chacne the Rangers win today. Flames practiced at central park rink yesterday. Seems like teams that do that almost always win at MSG.

If Brian Burke or Doug Armstrong were to accept either of those trades they'd be out of a job, not even sure those trades would work in NHL 17
