I would say she doesn’t, and neither does Perry. Probably both of them support anyone who isn’t Romney, since it seems to be all Repub candidates v. Romney. I could be wrong, but I don’t want to look it up because:

This is the team we've been waiting for all year

They are relatively healthy, skating hard and not making many screw ups. Do we stay pat and try to make a playoff run (and probably end up just short) or become sellers and get some prospects/ draft picks?

by taro tsujimoto on Feb 19, 2012 3:00 PM EST reply actions  

Yup.

Thats a good idea. Id love to keep Goose going forward, but ID also like to get a 1st or 2nd for him.

And like you said, Roy, Stafford, Boyes… see whats out there

I really don't see him wanting to play any place else next year.

He doesn’t seem like he ever wants to leave. His contract wasn’t great but he’s a mean penalty killer and faceoff guy. I build the PK around him and Kaleta.

Who are the 7?

Weber’s a liability more often than not. MAG sucks. Finley showed he’s not anywhere near NHL ready. Schiestel hasn’t played a NHL game. Pysk hasn’t played an AHL game. Gauthier-Leduc is in the QJMHL. Brennan needs more time in the AHL, Lindy was giving him 12 mins a game. McNabb is the closest to being ready but spent almost a month in the pressbox with a concussion.

There’s depth but it’s not proven or even good depth yet. If this team wants to make a run next year they can’t do it with 4 defensemen. What good does another draft pick do? Let you take another defenseman who might be ready in 5 years when Pominville, Vanek, Miller et al are done?

Agreed that Weber is not great but Grags does not suck.
McNabb would be playing on a lot of other NHL teams.

Grags does not suck?

Please explain. He’s a supposed powerplay offensive defenseman who has one goal this year. Lindy trusts him so much that he’s last on the team for (regular) defensemen in TOI by a lot and that’s with him “quarterbacking” the PP time earlier in the year.

And you “traded” Leopold so he’s gone.

You asked who the 7 NHL defensemen I talked about were. Those are the 7. We can afford to lose the 4th best one (maybe 5th best depending how much you like Sekera) if we can get a high pick back.

And with regards to Grags, look at his Corsi. And I don’t know why it’s surprising that a rookie is last in TOI.

Or mcnabb, brennen and schiestel. The most valuable thing your getting in return for Leo is 3m in cap space.

by lgbfromoregon on Feb 19, 2012 4:05 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

or we could just let 17 rot away in the press box

And let mcnabb play another whole year in the ahl, while not freeing up any cap space to acquire a real center.

by lgbfromoregon on Feb 19, 2012 4:09 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I think Goose and Leo can get that. Examining recent deals, Dominic Moore and Goose have practically the same stat line.

Instead of the usual solid 1 period.
