I think he concentrated more on defensive play because our d-corp couldnt make a pass to save their life... wait till main camp and see how he looks with vets among the kids(esp the blueline) then we will have a good idea where he sits. will be tough to make a good bottom six............ having said that he played the NHl game right ...even though he was in a wild and sloppy prospect tourny

beleive ( deducing )the conversation Linden had with Iggy was in person in kelowna

be like pitts or chi and miss the playoffs for 5 or 6 yrs in a 7 yr period..... being one of the worst teams in 3 of those years trade away all your players your sedins and keslers, your hansen your garrison till you have multiple picks in the first three rounds draft 2-3 superstars and another 7 allstars so in 10 yrs you can can excited to be a HUGE contender (no guarentee either of winnig it all) thats how pitts and chi did it....... so say come back in 2020...whhhoowwhhooo I get you may not believe in the sedins as leading the way to the promised land.....thats okay....reality they need a deep supporting staff to get them all the way.......all the teams do. would be great to have a top young prospect(or two) come in and be one of the calder favs contributing to a solid cast ... pushing us over the hump....when all are healthy we are one maybe two impact players(supportive consistent performers) from being heavy favs...or have a pp and pk running very well in the playoffs

Kesler (5 mil) is 10th on the scoring list 66pts for centerman,centerman ahead of him Malkin 8.7 69pts,Stastny 6.6mil 70pts,Kopitar 6.8mil 71pts, Richards 7.8 mil 77pts,Thorton 7.2mil 82pts, Stamkos3.75mil rfa 2011/2012--play wing or center???, Backstrom 2.4 mil ufa 87pts, Crosby 8.7 mil 87pts, Sedin 6.1 mil 94 pts Considering that kesler plays 2nd line minutes compared to all those guys playing 1st line minutes he is a super bargin....and can anybody on that list touch him --two way???? overall he is 21st overall less one dman he is 20th overall...less both Sedins (on his team)he is 18th overall---smokin deal another way to look at it. Crosby,Malkin 17.4mil Ovie,semin(backstrom next year) 15 mil, Chi Kane Toews 12.6mil, Sedin,kesler 11.1 mil-----all long contracts except the van duo

Well this is a good lesson to teach this board wisdom reguarding the many threads about trading away Luongo
