I don't know much about him but it sounds like if he doesn't work out as a D-Man we could try him as a power forward kinda like Brent Burns.

I knew there had to be another motive for this. Yzerman is a smart man, although I think he probably could have gotten more than a 6 round pick.

I would only like this if it was a 3 year deal or less, but considering these huge contracts that the big name UFA's sign, I doubt it. Lack will be ready to be our starter very soon and I'm not sure what this means for Markstrom. I trust Benning though.

I'm liking this off season and it's barely even started.

Lot of rumours about Torts floating around after he got fired. Where were these accusations when he was still coaching the team?

I really like Torts and wanted him to get another chance. Oh well, I trust Linden. Hopeefully we get Trotz.

AV is not a bad coach but it was definitely time to move on. As for Torts, I think he deserves another year with this club. This year was a disaster in so many different ways and it wouldn't be fair to can him based on this one season.

Why do I even bother coming on this forum during a losing streak?

I think this means that we're going to trade a D-Man soon. Probably a deal involving Edler and Ryan O'Reilly.

Torts was just protecting his team. He's obviously isn't going to put out his stars against Calgarys goons. Hartley wanted fights, well he got them. Did he go overboard by going to the Calgary dressing room? Sure. (Although I found it entertaining and awesome.) But he had his heart in the right place and that's all that matters to me. This team isn't getting pushed around anymore.

Goddam that was entertaining. We saw some vintage Torts and it was awesome. He really is changing the culture of the team.

I'm with Torts. Don't eff with the Canucks. If this doesn't light a fire under the ass of our guys then I don't know what will.

I'm feeling a comeback game against a weak team. Nucks take it 5-1.

I'm not gonna blame the refs for this loss because we would have lost regardless of that being some of the worst officiating ever...but I really wanna punch Paul Devorski in the face.

The team let down Lu in this one. Very entertaining game and a very dissapointing loss.

The Panthers have never won in Vancouver?

If Emery came at you I'm sure you would fight him.

Definitely an overpayment but I'm interested in how Vanek plays with Tavares. NYI should try to get Miller out of Buffalo, they would be looking pretty good...until Vanek leaves at the end of the year.

Although he is making a good case so far, I wouldn't be comfortable with him in net for Canada.

Stamkos - Crosby - St.Louis Giroux - Toews - Tavares Staal - Thornton - Bergeron Nash - Getzlaf - Perry Weber - Subban Keith - Seabrook Pietrangelo - Doughty *Letang Luongo Price Crawford/Smith This is the best way to go in my opinion. The D is the hardest decision to make and Letang slots into the line up if he is outplaying any of those D-Men by the time the Olympics start. You could also put Giroux on the 3rd line instead of Thornton if you want a better checking line.

Yeah I guess you have a point there. Really depends on how they all play this year though because I would rank Luongo, Price, Smith, and Crawford pretty close together.

For a while I wasn't sure if he was a troll or just stupid, but this thread proves that he is a definite troll. I gotta give him credit though, cause he really had me going.

You've gotta be kidding. Lundqvist, Quick, Rinne, Rask, Crawford, Anderson, Bobrovsky, Smith, and Howard are the only goalies that are currently better than Luongo. Your list is the worst I've ever seen.

I would put him in the Tier 2. He's not quite elite anymore but he is still one of the better goalies in the league.
