  1. ... a lineup of forwards like this next season:

    Higgins - Koivu - Kovalev

    Samsonov - Plekanec - Ryder

    Milroy - Grabovski - Kostitsyn

    Latendresse - Lapierre - Begin/Streit

    Checking line? Fuhgeddaboudit. Let the OTHER team worry about checking US.

    Now wouldn't this be a set of lines that would make other teams shit in their pants to be facing...?

  2. He's gettin pissed off with his team... that's good! Wouldn't it be great if we could wrangle Richards away from him somehow? Richards is struggling a little this year actually (by Richards' standards anyhow)... he could someone Feaster might move.

    Who do we trade to get Richards? I think they really need a goalie over there in Tampa... and we are quite deep with goalies in our system. What about a package that includes Halak... think he'd bite?

  3. Well, if I was Carbo/Gainey, I know what I'd do: once Higgins is back playing, I'd immediately get Kovalev to go get his knee fixed so he's back at 100% and fresh for the stretch run/playoffs. He's just not the same player since that knee on knee hit he got some weeks ago. We need Kovalev at 100% to make a run deep into the playoffs.

    We'll get by without Kovy for 6 weeks... we did so when Higgins was out and we'll do it again.

  4. (I had this buried in the game thread from last night so I thought I'd lift it out and give it it's own thread and open it up for discussion if anyone cares to...)

    I think it's time for Bonk to have a shot at centering the 2nd line. This is *NOT* the same Bonk we saw last year. He's showing great generalship on the ice, nice stickhandling, hanging onto the puck well, and excellent work in the opposing zone down low. See him tonight when he had the puck behind the Florida net and about 3 Panthers couldn't get it away from him?

    I know I know - we don't want to break up that very good 3rd line... but I think Plekanec could hold down the fort on the 3rd nicely.

    You never know guys - this could be the big, strong 2nd line playmaking centre we've been looking for all this time... right under our noses.
