It would be real interesting to see what he would fetch in a trade right now

I couldn't say, last year I would have said he's untradeable with that contract but this year the way he's playing he must have some value, probably more than the 2nd round pick we got him for.

Weber is a good #1 defenseman.

Petry is a good #3.

We're still lacking players to fill the "good #2 and good #4 position"

NM got back from a run now I'm here. How 'bout you?

His numbers were good last year too

Not as good and his defensive play was worse also but the whole team sucked

That's right!! And with Brook and Juulsen both right handed, that side should be set for some time

The whole team completely sucked last year... except Gallagher I guess

Agreed. MB would need to give something up to get the #2. Think it's possible we could develop one of the kids as #4.

Niemi was good last year.

So is Fleury, Romanov is the only thing they have on the LD

I'd be willing to give up a lot for a left handed top pairing D... and I agree about a possible #4 being in the system already

This is true!

Pretty sad that we had to reach that far....

It's up to Mete and Reilly to step up.

Mete, Reilly and Ouellet I guess are still relatively young, but yea, that's pretty much it.... hoping they get a shot at Cam York or Alex Vlasic at the draft, that could change the look of the left side in a big way!

It really is... he would have been the MVP if not for Gallagher

Could end up being Kulak

Doubt it. He's not bad but not top 2 material. Don't even know if he's top 4...

Mete and Reilly have the skating to make it, I don't think Ouellet does.

Oh I wasn't saying for the top pairing.... 2nd pairing LD, but like you said, that could still be a stretch.... lots of youth on the left side, serious lack of top end talent though

Could.. likely another 5-6 guy
