I've never loved Doughty, but I have never really disliked him either. Now I kind of just don't like him at all. I also pretty much hate Dustin Brown at this point. Never really liked him either. He's a ***** though.

Yeah for someone so tough, Dustin Brown is a little *****.

Really? I thought he made Kesler look like someone's baby sister.

Little ***** = my version of douche bag. He's a great player, but he's a ****ing douche.

At least Kesler scored 40 at one point He's a better goal scorer and player, even though everyone will say otherwise because of the cup run now.

He just looks like a major douche too.

Why? I would take either of those guys on our team over the equivalents on our roster. Any day.

Agreed. I was sad when LA took Brown off the block (if he was even on it).

For sure, he would have been a great fit on our team. 1st or 2nd line, would have loved that. I guess we have Raymond though?

Gagne is one of my all time favorites. He's broken down but for much of his career he was so potent scoring. When he stays healthy he is an amazing player. I was so happy for him. For all his bad rap I was happy for Mike Richards as well as Kopitar. Quick is a beast also. GO WILLIE MITCHELL!

Nothing important here. A fourth liner. Blah.

[sfgiants5518]

plan the parade route.

Lulongo won't be going to tampa.

[BlueJayFanDan]

Luongo to Tornto is going to happen. I see it coming. Just a few weeks away.

[sfgiants5518]

What could we get for Kassian? We all know AV will be using him on the 4th line next year but I think that will just stunt his development. AHL is probably best for him, but Gillis would want him on the NHL team so the Hodgson team doesn't look worse than it actually is. We should trade Kassian for a NHL ready player... probably a Veteran.

Are you kidding? This is Mike's big off-season move.

You may be right there. Damn, I don't want any of their players. This year's first rounder yes, but we're not getting that.

I think he'll be a 4th liner for a while with some shots at playing on the top 2 lines.
