I don't really agree with the questions in the poll either. But, if anything, he's done enough to warrant the franchise giving him the opportunity to be #1 next season (and not bringing in a veteran...
The goals are going to come, that's one thing we know this team can do is score. This is the time of year when guys like McClement, Komarov, Orr, Grabo, Fraser all need to step up, play above their...
So I can see that people are tempering their expectations of Biggs since the early Lucic, Clowe comparisons. That's good. But, where people are coming up with him being an above average 3rd liner...
I don't mean to be a complete dinosaur, but, if you're looking to make a statement and draft a "high end" potential power forward with size and toughness because your team is soft, keep it to guys...
With this Biggs talk, I think this is the right place for me to pile on Burke (a guy with a fairly terrible draft history). A lot of praise is being thrown at him right now, and while I get that he's...
Ya, it's definitely far from an exact science. I really hope the best for Sparks as well. I've seen quite a bit of him, living in the region, and I've seen him look like a star, and then I've also...
Ya, I think I'm with you on that one. I've seen Horvat a bunch (being a regular Rangers/Storm game attendee), and I'm not sure the power side of his game is such that it'll translate to the next...
Lavs, I was just looking at the late 1st and early 2nd round of the upcoming draft, and I thought as a well versed OHL guy (I'd like to think of myself as such too), what do you think of the...
With your opening statement, you essentially void any opinion you may have on any issue. AAaand, "Kip is done as an NHL goalie", is about a valid of a statement as me saying that Reimer will never...
Hey, I don't "like" Kipper per say. I just respect what he's done, and acknowledge his recent accomplishments in light of a sub par season thus far. I see him for what he is, a definite upgrade, over...
Give any NHL drafted goalie spec the coaching and opportunity that Reimer's had, and your pretty much going to get James Reimer. That's why losing him isn't a big deal in my eyes. BUT, you're willing...
If the price is Reimer, I'd do it. Reimer to me, is no more valuable than Scrivens (that's not saying a lot... a prospect, in theory but not really in actuality). So, you still have a goalie...
I don't know much about Happ, but Romero was one of the worst SP's in the Majors last year. Ricky needs to close his Twitter account, and focus on ball. Look at how earning your spot has worked for...
Primarily his anticipation, but don't let anyone fool you... he was a little better than almost everyone at almost everything, at the time that he was putting up his biggest numbers. He was faster...
What are you watching?! Why would a team want Bozak?! He's been one of the best faceoff guys in the league this year, can score/set up. He'd be a great #3 guy, good #2; who could fill in on a top...
Glad to see another Ranger fan in here! Leivo has been dynamite. He's really brought some life back to Rieder's game as well after the start Rieder had! I don't know why, but I'm not overly...
People throw Bozak around in a lot of trade scenario's (myself included at one point), but I don't think people see the big picture. He's an ideal 3rd line center. Defensive zone faceoff losses, lose...
I see what you're saying, and you may well be right. I just think that assuming he will still be a 7-8 million/year guy in 3-4 years is a bigger risk in my eyes. If he can be paid 7-8/year over 7-8...
If Lupul got 5 years, Kessel would AT LEAST get that. That said, he has elite goal scoring talent, if his agent doesn't get him a max contract with extended term, he'll be fired. 26 yo point a game...
Nonis has confused me a bit. I think he made a couple of schrewd moves to get a couple of young guys into the line-up (Connolly & Lombardi for Kadri, Komarov and inadvertantly Frattin), but then he...
Agreed man! Demarcus is an absolute idiot and needs the ball. He'd be sulking within minutes of getting on the court.
I'd way rather have Val in a couple of years, strictly for blocks, defensive...
Wow! Yeah, I can see how you'd make that comparison when watching that.:) Career night, I believe. Like I say, you're not going to see that everynight. He's a great guy, and I think over the summer...
Davis is definitely not Zbo like at all. Davis is far more atheletic, really quick off the floor... gets up high in a hurry! He has a very raw, straight forward offensive game (put backs, and dunks...
If ice time were split evenly between all 3 pairings, then you would be correct. However, Mike Kotska played 31 minutes on Saturday... WHAT?!
If the top pair is going to play half the game, make...
10 years ago, I would have said to send him to Portland. Now, I say ship him to Sacramento to be with the most mentally unstable team mates in the league. It doesn't matter how good of a baller he...
