Oh agreed, Forsling will be in the SEL for a couple years yet. I didn't realize you were referring to the Comets roster. I see one of Forsling or Subban filling a role like Weber on the team now. PP specialist, but only getting bottom 6 5vs5 minutes, being too small to contain the best of the west.

More like Cederholm Subban Tryamkin Forsling Why put both trees and both shrimps on the same pairings?

Don't forget Jordan Schroder's performance in the World Jrs, he holds the record for most points (overall) by any US born player. Also in 2009 Cody Hodgson outscored Tavares and Eberle. Hell Anton Rodin got 10 points in 6 games in 2010. I would say that while it does showcase some skill, it is not indicative of success at the NHL level. Nylander, Forsling, Domi and Petan may be tearing it up now, but it's guys with speed AND size and strength like Virtanen that help you win in the playoffs, especially in the West.

He was pretty solid today, the first goal as was said was scored on a 5 on 3. The second goal was scored off an American defender just as a penalty expired, third goal was a double deflection pp goal. So not really Demko's fault. He made a minor mistake on the 2nd but the defence in front of him did a terrible job of clearing the net. Not a bad showing but not as good as against Canada.

The return of Boyle?

2 years 9 million.

A second looks even better, from Stevie Y anyways.

I don't think anyone thought that Gagner was enough to get Yandle, but with a 1st round pick and a prospect? Sure Gagner is not a 2nd line centre I'd want on my team, but MacT sucks more.

Making room for Connolly and Drouin I guess. Going to take a run at Erhoff or Niskanen?

The suspense is killing me...

He stole Holland's mojo... Detroit hasn't been so shrewd since he left (or maybe it was Nill).

Poor kid. If it's for Yandle, MacT should be drawn and quartered.

One of Markstrom or Ericksson is gone. Doesn't benefit either to be backup to Lack.

Odd move to dump Gagner now, if it was a straight buyout Gagner costs more than Purcell...

He's got Murray in his sights as GMotY
