I don't think he will ever play with the big team. There are too many youngsters closest to the NHL. Same for Milroy, when they'll be ready, our lineup will be filled by Grabovski, Kots, Lapierre, etc... Sorry
For my part, I'm a fan of Liverpool since the first time I saw Formula 51. Robert Carlyle wears a Liverpool jersey all movie long and i said to myself : humm what a beautiful jersey! Few weeks later, i caugt Liverpool coming back in 2nd half time of the Champions League final and win it in shootout. I was defenitly a new fan of Liverpool for the most spectacular win i've ever seen in soccer.
Here's my favorite quote from Formula 51 : "Football and drugs. A perfect Saturday afternoon." - Iky
I'm not asking much from him, I just don't want to see him anymore on the 1rst line. He's the first guy on this team that i would try to put in a package deal with Sammy...
If this trade goes on : Sammy and Rivet for Aucoin, i think Bob will do a 2nd move including Abby, Perez/Ryder to go get a 2nd line center Forsbergh or someone like that. With Sammy gone and cap space, he has 2 choices : Go get a very good center player OR sign Markov AND Souray
Obviously, that wasn't serious, well not really. Sure Ryder could be a nice weapon, specially with his wrist shot, but don't consider this guy as a real 1rst liner. He wouldn't be on the 1rst line of any other team for sure.
This may be the first time someone quote himself...
Don't take on Ryder too hard. Men, this guy is a 8th round draft pick!!!! Have you ever seen a 8th rounder plays on a first line???? Maybe Bure and Robitaille but...
I use to hate RDS.ca Talkbacks. People out there really suck. I read a rumour of trade this morning : Koivu + 1rst round pick for Bobby Ryan and Beauchemin .
