TurdBurglar Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I haven't seen this name come up here, but what about Byfuglien? He seems like a player we could definitely benefit from. Use him as forward primarily unless we have injuries on defense. Worked for Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use him as forward primarily unless we have injuries on defense. Worked for Chicago. I would love to get Byfuglien. He seems to work best as a blueliner though. That versatility of being able to play him either way, there's only one other guy in the league that way and it's Brent Burns. That said, Winnipeg wouldn't get rid of him. He's signed long term and it would cost us quite a bit to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 If the Flames do go into sell mode, y'know who I'd actually like the most? Alex Tanguay. He got a bad rep last time he was here, despite putting up good numbers. He's still putting up good numbers despite being on a bad team, and I'd love to see him feeding Gallagher and/or Pacioretty for the next 3 seasons.

zumpano21 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I think our team will improve measurably once Bourque has returned from his concussion. I'm quite enjoying his rebound year and hope he joins the team shortly. One player that might fit well with us for a playoff run is Brenden Morrow. I like the intangibles there. Grit, sandpaper, gold medal winner and leader. He'd be a good reason to keep Moen in the press box as he's certainly been underwhelming thus far.

sakiqc Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He might be one of the last players I'd like to get before a playoff run. What if he stubs his toe or has a hang nail? The same who scored the GWG in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals for the Avs vs the Devils ? I agree it was disappointing to see him injured in the playoffs for the Habs, after being so helpful during the season. I would agree though that it's difficult to see where he'd fit with the current Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it was disappointing to see him injured in the playoffs for the Habs, after being so helpful during the season. I would agree though that it's difficult to see where he'd fit with the current Habs. No, what was disappointing was seeing him cleared to play and refused to play because he said he was not ready. Most players rush back and lie to doctors to get clearance to play in the playoffs. He is a pansy and I want no part of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of Morrow-- for the reasons you stated. Fair or not, the mention of Tanguagy conjures a mental image for me of a soft player who couldn't handle montreal and was happy to leave. So, I would never want to see him back in MTL---but then again, I thought Terrien was a huge mistake so what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Pass on Tanguay. And Byfuglien would cost WAY too much. Go get Chris Stewart from the Blues.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Plus Pom grew up hating the Habs. People just see he was born in Quebec and assume he was a Habs fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davehab Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Pomm is just not the type of player we need.....with Ryder, Bourque, prust and Diaz coming back in the next couple of weeks I think we will be fine.. lines would be something like this... 67 - 51 - 73 17- 14 - 21 27- 81 - 11 20 - 53/8 - 8/32 we have a lot of guys that can move up and down the line up Prust/Ryder/Gally/Chucky/Gio.....these guys can all play on basically any line I would keep Bourque/Plecs together and patches/Desh together everything else is a matter of who is hot. although I would like to see Gio swapped for a bigger body so we could insulate Plecs a little better, i wouldn't mortgage any young prospects for the short term unless that player was under a reasonable contract. However that being said,I would love to have Foligno from Buffalo,for maybe Leblanc + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our top 9 is pretty much set. A week ago I was calling for MB to make a move on defense, but I'm fine with Tinordi as the 6th d-man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week ago I was calling for MB to make a move on defense, but I'm fine with Tinordi as the 6th d-man. Tinordi just played his first NHL game. I wouldn't settle in saying we're fine just ebcuase he had a good showing in his first game. I think we still need a 6th/7th defenseman. Also I'm finiding it really odd that Eklund mentioned Clowe to Montreal awhile back, LeBrun posted an article saying it's more than possible, now the last few Eklund blogs that mention Clowe all link him to Montreal. I know not to trust Eklund, but from more than just him, I'm starting to think the move might actually happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been horrible this season. Do not want. Let the Bruins pay it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's signed long term and it would cost us quite a bit to get him. I am happy someone else recognizes how devasting a player like Byfuglien is against opposing defenses. I have long advocated us grooming one of our own. Weber is our version, but he is too small among other things. Maybe we will have to wait to see how effective Burns turns out before the rest of league catchs on. There is almost zero chance he gets traded.

Commandant Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'd argue that Subban is our version of this, but he's so skilled from the back end, we'll never want to use him on wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
