Schroeder's sure on a great run since he was sent back down. If AV plans to leave Roy with Kesler, I do not know why Schroeder hasn't been recalled. He's a better option than Ebbet, that's for sure.

Gaunce has been awesome in the playoffs so far.

I really liked the Gaunce pick when it happened and I like it even more now. No way he should have fallen to 26.

Garrison has been playing very solid. The last month he has been our most consistent defenseman. Very sound defensively.

He's got a lot more offensive ability than Friesen. And he's way bigger.

fail troll is fail.....seen this before

I'm not questioning his conditioning, which should still improve. I'm pointing out that in some of his AHL play that I've seen he has been picking up very lazy habits. When the puck is not on his stick he has been a lazy player.

This. Everyone is pointing out his excellent offensive play and rightly so. But his play without the puck was disappointing. He just looked so so so lazy. Lazy backchecking, lazy zone coverage, lazy forechecking and if he lost the puck there was no effort to get it back. He looked like he didn't want to be there and it showed. You can see the skill, puck protection ability and potential when the puck is on his stick, but when its not he looked like a liability. I'm not saying he's a bust, but I agree with you. He needs a much better work ethic to make it in the NHL.

I don't think Schroeder is ready yet, but I do think he will be in the NHL at some point as an impact player. Often smaller players just need more time to develop. Guys like Desharnais and St. Louis were almost 24/25 until they really broke out in the NHL. I'd still hold judgement on him. He has the skill and speed. He just has to figure out how to put it together effectively at the pro level.

Yah really wouldn't want a Joe Thornton...

I think at the very least Gaunce will be a 3rd line center with potential for more.

I wouldn't mind a Luongo, Raymond for Matthias, Theodore, 1st deal.

I think for sure Burrows will re-sign. I can't see him playing with any other team. I'm sure he also understands some of his success is a product of playing with the Sedins and he will obviously not get that opportunity elsewhere. He will take a discount. He's that type of person. I think for sure he will re-sign at 3.5 million or under.

The Sedins and Burrows have a good thing going on. Kesler is a one-man wrecking crew. Even if he has crap linemates, he'll make things happen.

4th line center + 3rd line gritty, depth scorer is what we need.
