Tentative Agreement Reached.


Recommended Posts

Bieksa and Edler can't play the right side. Is Bowness new to this team? he should know these things already...

Why wouldn't you play Garrison on the right side, since you know, he can actually play both sides?

Hamhuis Bieksa

Garrison Edler

Ballard Tanev

I guess that's what we'll see then.

Interesting. January was planned all along, but it looked like they were gonna scrap the whole season for a bit there.

Meh. Either way i'm looking forward to not dishing out one cent of my cash to the cause for a long, long time. No tickets. No merch. No tv package. Nothing.

And i hope more fans feel the same way.

Next time don't have a lockout that is totally unjustified.

Some time ago I read this article about where Rick Bowness plans to play Garrison, it's the left side. He won't be on the right side.

Bowness plans to move either Bieksa or Edler to the right side. (edit) of Garrison.

Edit Here's the article. The author goes into detail and doesn't agree with Bowness so it's worth a read.

There is no doubt Edler will be re-signed. Ballard will be gone before end of next season, either thru buyout or if MG can pull it off, via trade.

Anybody, any thoughts on whether Jensen is being invited to camp, and if so shots on making the team?

My money says bring him to camp, but he'll be returned to Sweden.

I don't see him taking a Top 6 LW scoring role, which is his personality, off Booth or Danny. And I don't see that he has enough puck digging, fore-checking, back checking in him to take a bottom 6 role off Higgins or Raymond. That both are UFA suggests that is the succesion plan next year. Nor an off wing role with the Twins or Kess on the right side, as we have scoring already and need glue guys (like Burrows) there unless he is so good he is dominating???

Thanx for posting that; it pretty much mirrored my concern! The article also mucks up that Connauton may be a right side solution, he's also a left shooting left D who really looks when paired only on his side paired with a guy who shelters him to play an offensive role. And we certainly dont need a PP specialist left side guy at the expense of Edler!

DeNiro (asked in another thread also); Garrison played right side PP in Florida. Did he also play 5 on 5 in his lock down role? I am not aware of it.

I'd prefer to trade one of our 4 left side guys.
