  1. Emery is back on IR, who feels like getting the old Halak rumour started again? http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=312020
  2. I won't lose any sleep because Crosby or Malkin are only making 7mil instead of 9mil to play a game. When you consider they already make more in one year than a doctor makes in a lifetime it's hard to feel sorry for a small (relatively) pay cut. Back to the original question, I think we could have Plex for just over four mil considering the deal Stajan just signed. Plex may be better than Stajan, but their numbers are closer than most people would think. Most important of all I hope to God PG doesn't overpay on his first signing. If he lays down the line with his first guy then maybe we won't be expected to continue overpaying for FAs.
  3. maybe Edm will be looking for a goalie pretty soon. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=310498
  4. As much fun as these last three games have been I think it's time for Cammy to make a miracle recovery and come back for the third period. All in favor? Barring that I would put Plex on the Gomez line for a few shifts. Spreading out the talent hasn't done much, so it's time to load up one line.
  5. If its anything like last game you will have to switch the third and fourth lines.
  6. What a paradox. We need MAB off the fourth line to have it play fast and fierce to draw penalties, but we need MAB back on the PP so we don't go 1 of 7 again. Spacek didn't really impress me on the point, and I would like them to try SK74 back there every now and then.
  7. The Panthers vs. Flames game tonight just goes to show it could always be worse. Florida entered the third period down 2-1 and they managed to get a grand total of TWO shots on goal in the third. :puke:
  8. WOW! I hadn't heard they were all banged up, if we have no Cammy, Andrei, Sergei, Pouliot and not Plex we have no hope. Maybe we play two goalies at once...
  9. With Bob calling up three forwards from the Bulldogs today it looks like he is about to shake things up. http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=...vid=DL|MTL|home
  10. they also mentioned that TO may settle for Dag, that would be something I'm interested in.
  11. What makes you say this? Price has played his best when he was the undisputed number 1. He was amazing i his rookie year after he got rid of Huet, then awesome in the first round. He faltered against Philly, but whatever, hes a rookie. The next year he started off strong then got injured and Halak had to step in. When Price returned he wasn't quite where he had left off a he suddenly found himself in a goalie controversy. Halak may thrive off the competition and need to be pushed by Price, but I don't think Carey is the same way. He seems to do better when he is alone at the top, and i think if we end up trading Halak then Price will pick his game back up.
  12. That's why Burke got Dion to protect Komi from Lucic.
  13. I'm loving the Dion trade, not only is he a cancer in the lockerroom, but that means they are spending over 24 million on a top six WITHOUT Kaberle. Enjoy losing first Kaberle and then Schenn in a couple of years. Throw in Kessel's crappy deal and Gustavson as an RFA and they will have no goal support. Komi 4.5 Beauchemin 3.8 Finger 3.5 Phaneuf 6.5 Van Ryan 2.9 Schenn 2.975
  14. I don't know why everyone says the leafs won this trade, White has more points than Dion and Mayers is probably better than that Sjostrom. So basically it was Stajan and Hagman for Aulie and a slight upgrade in size on defense. Dion has great potential, but is very inconsistent and overrated.
  15. I agree that with Cammy gone we should forget this year's playoffs and set our sights to the future, but the problem is the guys you are saying we should trade. Mara, Spacek, Gionta and MAB all just signed with us and Gomez was just traded for. How does it look to this year's potential UFAs when we are having a fire sale on last year's crop?
  16. Dang. I had been hoping BG could swing Plex for Regher and Moss. Just wishful thinking I guess.
  17. Markov, Gorges, Spacek, Hammer, Mara, O'byrne =6 The reason you chose to keep Gill as opposed to Mara or O'byrne (I'm not sure who you are leaving out- probably Mara) is because he plays at about their level, but he brings a huge asset with his PK abilities. The reason we keep MAB is because in the four or five shifts a game the fourth line gets he is just as good as anyone else we have tried there this year, and he also just happens to be an all-star on the power play
  18. But we don't have the same players on the ice, we sent Dag and Pac down to the minors. Only now do we see that they were truly the ones carrying the team.
  19. This would be one of those situations where it would be nice to have a captain.
  20. You have been dumping on MAB the entire time because all he can do is play the power play, yet you mention Gill can only play the PK then you give him a free pass. if we can keep Gill on the third pairing mainly for the PK why can't we keep MAB for the PP? Also when you consider whether it's Mara or Spacek who was the worse signing you have to take into account term, salary and age, not just performance. Mara was brought in for a depth role, while Spacek was brought in to hopefully play in a first pairing and PP quarterback role. They have both underperformed but it's hard to tell who has been worse.
  21. 1) Remember how he made our powerplay respectable BEFORE Markov came back, something Spacek couldn't do. 2) I watch every single game, and obviously I have seen Dag, Pac, and BGL play way more than you. You still haven't answered who you would replace him with.
  22. At least they won't sit on the lead now.
  23. First of all I disagree completely that Spacek would be better on the PP, he had his chance, the result was we had to sign MAB. Second is who do you plan to have replace MAB on the fourth line? He obviously brings much more to the table than anyone else we have tried there.
  24. Holy 21st century Batman! I just heard of this thing called a "salary cap".
