GARTH'S CORNER: Francis To Flip His Depth?

He insists in the ESPN article that he'll only make a deal if it helps them both now AND in the future.

Only going to buy on a player that's an RFA or has term.

Cool story, Garth, but neither Julien Gauthier nor Nicolas Roy are defensemen, so listing them under Francis' "embarrassment of defense prospects" is highly inaccurate.

No, they aren't.

But Haydn Fleury, Jake Bean and Roland McKeown are, and they all have represented Canada at the WJC over the past few years.

Get over it already Garth, the Sabres dont have the assets to get duchene or landeskog unless you are moving Risto which you are not.

No one wants Kane, Sabres have tried to trade him for over a year now and still can't.

- BINGO!

I understand that, but that's irrelevant to my point. Garth here mentions that the Hurricanes are loaded with top defensive prospects and then lists Bean, Fleury, Gauthier and Roy. He doesn't even mention McKeown, but that's most likely because McKeown wasn't a first round pick. Basically, I'm just saying that if you're going to write an article talking about a team's defensive prospects, don't list forwards because your already poor credibility takes a hit with long-tice readers. Personally I would enjoy hockeybuzz.com much more if Garth and his inaccurate information and terrible puns were no longer around.
