I find it hard to compare the great players from different eras. Sports evolve over time. We could argue about wood sticks vs composite, but look at athletes today compared to then. That’s why in my post that started this discussion I said arguable. But agree with Gretzky as the greatest. He was one of the hockey revolutions that happened.

No way. JVR is a good forward on the team and he has looked good. I have even seen him back checking. He has 35 shots on goal. He is going to blow like a teen going through puberty. If we need some breathing room the best options are to deal Pitlick or Hagg. A good chunk of Cap gets freed up at the end of the season

If you want free cap space, you don’t trade for Braunn or sign Hayes to anything more than 5.5 or 6 million. JvR has nothing to do with what cap issues we may or not have.

Hayes was an aggressive move because of Patty’s migraines. We’d be screwed right now without Hayes and Patrick.

It's a good point that the team probably knew about the issues with Patrick when deciding to go after Hayes. I don't think anyone has mentioned that when whining about Hayes.

This is what Elliotte Friedman said:

“They sent down Carsen Twarynski, but there is certainly a feeling he was the pick because they could send him down, not because they wanted to send him down. They liked how he played and he doesn’t need waivers. The young guys are pushing the veterans.”

Anyone who defends Stewart seeing ice time over a kid really doesn't understand hockey.

At the moment Stewart is taking ice time away from a deserving prospect, who has proved he belongs in the NHL.

Stewart is a pet project of chuckles, and according to some, can throw knuckles, which somehow is important in a game that is dictated by speed and skill?!?!?!?!?!?

No chance, ovie over all of them. Hardest day and age to score and the guy is locked in for 40+ safely, year in and year out.

Boston can't shoot either. They be less than 50% from the foul line.
