They have Cup Winners Muzzin and Bogosian. Plus Brodie who made Giordano a Norris Winner.

How will Giordano ever recover is what I'm wondering.

Yep the grass isn’t always greener

I think a lot of the reason fans want change(not all) is they get bored of the current lineup and want that new feeling again. That endorphin release when they see a trade by their own team.

GMs don’t think that way.

Actually 3.5M would be our highest paid centre since Suzuki and KK are so cheap.

As long as it's not driven by David Ayres. I don't need to keep reliving that story.

If that’s what you think than that’s fine.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Some want change when a player needs to be upgraded.

Some want change when they are bored.

Both can be true.

He will probably retire, heck....he is almost as old as Old Man Joe, isn't he???
(well...within 5-6 years anyway....Joe is ancient...)

Keith and Seabrook have dropped to "don't care please send my cheque" level.

But I wonder if Kane and Toews have a way out? Huge AAV's but the $$ drops.

Phil kessel em and retain cap

Kane at 9 M and Toews at 8M would bring back some nice young pieces

Keith is perfect. The cap hit is hilariously low.

I like Kieth.

If they were willing to retain half his cap I would give them a really good prospect or pick.

What’s Keith at 2.8 M worth? A 1st? Liljergen? Not saying you would do it, just wondering his worth.
