FYI. None of those 4 are at 50% or above at the dot.

I still wonder about faceoff stats. How many are really won 100% cleanly? So many are the 50\50 kind where the wingers play a big role. They might need better team draw strategies. Not to mention a lot of teams (like LA) like to cheat. How they drop the puck when the away team's center stick doesn't touch the ice is beyond me

Really isn't that hard.

That's what she said

And at Staples, there's a lot of stick slashing by the men in black shirts at the dot that doesn't get called.

I gave her a solution for that. A couple in fact.

Testing...test...test...

How about Dubinsky in Columbus? Also, NJ has a few nice centers and probably could use some talent from Chicago

Gonna have to give him the C. Someone is going to have to show those younguns how to parrrtttayyyy.

that source is all over the map. if the puck bounces off leddy and goes in the kings net we arent even talking about this stuff. i agree we need help at center but we dont want to get weak at wing or D to get there. we are dealing from strength, not weakness. we are favored to win next year. can that happen without help up the middle? probably not but we sure dont need to panic. spezza makes 7,000,000. who shoulld we get rid of? we are in the drivers seat. let them come to us.

Wait.....are you talking about me?

.....and I agree with everything you said.

I want to be in your presence next time you high pitch "parrrrrtttayyyy"

It's all smoke and mirrors at this point. I refuse to get PO'd about rumors or comments by supposed FO personnel.

The cap hasn't been announced yet
The FA class still not completely known since buyouts are still pending
The "asking price" from certain players may be too high for everyone...so may or may not drop.

It's way too early to get pissed off about the off season.

He said source. not the Unnamed one.

I thought that at first, but I think he's referring to JJ's source...

Brian Boyle would be a great addition at a reasonable pricetag

CBJ is an up n coming team and Dubinsky played well against Sid in the playoffs......with that young team they need a few veterans.....I don't know if there is anyone I would want in NJ outside of Adam Henrique....and he's not going anywhere.

I like Brian Boyle....solid player/good guy.....don't know if he fits into the Hawks system......not a great skater and kinda slow.....

- EKolb13

Whoever he meant......smart poster!

Why?
- Elbows15

he fits several of the criteria Bowman is looking for...Center depth, size, PK ability, grit(led NYR in playoff hits), some skill as a former 20 goal guy and solid on draws

He said source. not the Unnamed one.

Some people call me that for short....others use jerkface......
