  1. I miss Ballard. He was constantly in AV's doghouse but he never complained and would do whatever was asked of him, stand up for teammates, and block shots.
  2. He'll never win a Super Bowl with that work ethic. Imagine a guy like Brady, Manning, or Wilson needing a clause in their contract to watch 4 hours of tape a week. They're going to regret that contract a lot sooner than later.
  3. Skating is useless if you're too stupid to play defence. Scott Stevens in his prime wouldn't be able to make up for how bad Klingberg is defensively. We're far better off bringing in a defenceman who can actually play acceptable defence.
  4. Pretty good value. I like Hoglander but Boudreau doesn't for some reason, and getting rid of Dickinson is a huge win.
  5. Myers can play defence. Klingberg can't. No room on this team for another defensive liability.
  6. He's as bad as guys like Barrie and Rielly. You simply can't have a guy like that in your lineup if you want to succeed. It makes it harder to hold the rest of your D accountable when you tolerate a guy like this playing like complete trash.
  7. He's also bad enough where he can improve a fair amount and still be a liability. It's not worth the risk, and it sure as hell isn't worth trying to teach while he's in the NHL.
  8. There are plenty of guys his age who understand how to play defence. If he hasn't learned how to avoid being a complete liability at lower levels, it's unlikely that he'll ever get to a point where his defensive play meets an acceptable standard for an NHLer.
  9. Rittich is that bad. The shooter tutor is a clear upgrade.
  10. Lundvist is known to be a liability though. That kind of play is simply not acceptable.
  11. Klingberg simply can't play well enough in his own zone to be welcome here at any salary. Keep that useless pylon away from our lineup.
  12. Substitute something useful instead of Lundvist and I'll be interested. No room on this team for a defenceman who can't play defence.
  13. True, but Winnipeg clearly doesn't think it's necessary to have a backup who belongs in the NHL. DiPietro is a clear upgrade over that useless sieve.
  14. I'm not opposed to seeing what he can do over a full season without Baumgartner and Green handicapping the defence.
  15. Winnipeg doesn't have an NHL backup. He could easily make their team out of camp.
  16. I'd be fine with adding a sweetener on our end. Retaining salary of any kind longer than one season is completely unacceptable under any circumstances though.
  17. There should be enough offence when healthy to run two effective units.
  18. Bo likely gets done after a decision is made on Miller so they can figure out what kind of structure works. Wouldn't be surprised if there's already a handshake agreement.
  19. He also has some pretty extreme political views. Vancouver wouldn't be a good fit off the ice.
  20. I think you'd have to move Captain Clown somewhere that he wouldn't be in a leadership position after it became public knowledge how much of a scumbag he was with the Beach report. After unloading the turtle and the midget, I doubt Calgary is in a hurry to bring in another guy with character issues.
