stanton: 11 pts in 36 gp weber: 5 pts in 28 gp which one brings more offense again?

anybody who thinks for a second that calgary's goons would have attacked the sedins is either stupid or just trying to justify tortorella's lineup choices. it just doesn't happen. especially from a brian burke team. he loves the sedins. that said, the brawl was fun so who cares.

the line brawl was pointless but whatever. who cares. the intermission tantrum was absolute bush league and i hope the league throws the book at him.

passively watched his team get progressively worse for 3 straight years while too paralyzed by fear and indecision to make any changes. in his six years as gm he has added one player to the core that he inherited. not to mention the plethora of brutal trades that have been discussed ad nauseum. what has he done to warrant keeping his job?

you mean during the holiday roster freeze?

you mean during the holiday roster freeze?

or, alternately, i want the most overrated forward with an undeserved, high priced contract and i want to give up every single tradeable asset.

canucks would have to add to edler to get o'reilly. why on earth would florida want booth and his terrible contract back? they got rid of him for a reason. not to mention it would take a lot more than that package to get campbell even at full price, let alone with florida retaining half. hugely overrating kane, just like everyone on this site overrates every name player that allegedly becomes available. i wouldn't trade tanev straight up for kane, since tanev will prevent far more goals every year than kane will score, without the stupid high cost and attitude issues. don't quit your day job.

stastny would make this team a contender the same way derek roy did last year.

well i guarantee they wouldn't have.

sutter built a team suited to small ice and even then they may not have medaled. i don't know why everyone thought an inbred farmer that cant hang on to an nhl job was the country's saviour in the first place. edit: in retrospect i'm not really sure why i posted this in this thread.

you're right, when the problem is a lack of scoring, the 4th liners are to blame.

4-0 kings

gaunce already has a quicker, more deceptive release and better accuracy than kesler.

he was spinning off the guy like a running back, not piroutteing like a ballerina. you get the guy to commit to contact that you know you can avoid by luring him in.

well for one its in a thread about brendan gaunce for some reason. secondly, people need to stop overrating evander kane. i wouldnt give up the two first rounders alone for a 60 pt locker room cancer prima donna.

reason for what, schroeder not getting his number? if this was the year for him to graduate they would have given it to him in training camp. at the very least they would have kept it available until he was healthy. schroeder isnt in this teams plans.

and hodgson wore 39 before getting 9. so what? its great that you expect that. i expect you to be wrong. and if the canucks were prepared to give schroeder his big boy number this year, whyd they let a waiver wire pickup have it instead?

schroeder isnt (and probably wont ever be) a full time roster player.

i see gaunce turning out a lot like shawn matthias, maybe with a touch more offence.

anybody remember another case where one team was consistently terrible enough to finish with a lottery pick year after year after year the way edmonton has?

uhhhh

tanev is worth far more than schroeder so those proposals don't make sense.

i'd do burrows, hamhuis, schroeder for kane and bogosian.

lots of people overrating and overvaluing evander kane.
