RyanKeslord17 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 This isn't a negativity thread by any means, but just throwing It out there, we won't be getting another top six forward to round out our top 6. Yes, there's someone by the name of Doan, forget it. He's staying in Phoenix, I'd be very surprised if he did otherwise. Gillis is a great GM, I like what he's doing with Luongo, fielding offers and waiting for the best value, but he's somewhat blind in other areas. We need another forward that can play with Kesler. We got Booth, and now we need one more. What does he do? He extends Raymond. As soon as he did that, I lost all faith. He won't trade Raymond either, whose gonna want Mason Raymond? Not even for a seventh rounder. In his pressers, he stated that he has full confidence in Raymond, and he feels that he can be that second liner he once was. So Raymond is one player to try and fill in that second line role, plus you have one other player: Zack Kassian. Obviously MG is very high on this kid. He traded away CDC's lover Hodgson for him. Yeah yeah I know the whole ice time issue blah blah blah. BS. He traded Hodgson because he wanted size. He got Kassian. The Bruins series really got MG thinking that we were in dire need of size and he changed the whole identity of the team by trading for Kassian. MG is probably thinking that Kassian can be a second liner one day. Let's be honest, we won't end up getting much for Lu, even though we should, we won't. Nobody wants an aging goalie, on a decline with a high salary and a gigantic contract. He's not an all-star anymore. Our top six will be rounded up with either Raymond, Kassian or Hansen. Yes, no Shane Doan, no Kris Versteeg, and no Bobby Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Gillis has to get fair value for Luo or else this whole fiasco is going to haunt him worse than Cody Hodgson's agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kack Zassian Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 In all fairness, yes we could use a top-6 forward, but really impactnis mitigated by having players like Raymond/Hansen/Higgins in your bottom 6 who can put up 40+ points as well as 4 d-men who should be able to hit 30 points easily.

mysticriver Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I get where you're coming from. However, it's a pretty tough task for Gillis to go out and get an impact player that will fit into our top six. It's not coming from the Luongo trade, IMO. If it's going to be via trade, we'll have to take a blow in another area (likely defense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
