What if we offer Columbus all of our 2013 draft picks?! Oh.. wait, nevermind.

From the article: Whee! Let's get rid of him!

Bertuzzi is worth it for the shootouts alone.

Emmerton is useless. He rarely scores, doesn't hit, is only average at faceoffs, is small, and regularly blows coverage on defense. There's nothing to recommend him.

If he leaves Kenny's job just got harder. For all the flak Hudler takes, he's still a 25 goal scorer, which means now we need to find TWO top 6 scorers if we want to improve on last year. As with most people the cost is the big issue to me. I'd take him at 3 million, but at more than that he just doesn't provide the grit or the reliability we need as a team.

WOW are you even serious???? .... Crosby, Ovechkin, Heatly, Hossa and Kovy put up on worse teams than the BJs in their past.??????? those players put up better numbers and they were on worse teams than columbus???how the hell was pittsburgh,washington,san jose etc... worse than columbus?? columbus is a laughing stock , and who the hell did rick nash ever have to play with???? all those players you mentioned above ALL had someone to play with rick nash has been a lone ranger in columbus his whole career

i would rather have a prust like player over almost any free agent

Too bad realignment couldn't have helped out with that. Its good to see Holland being aggressive though. Asking about Nash leads me to believe he's looking to shake things up or make some serious upgrades to this team. Bringing in Nash, to me, would be like when we brought in Brendan Shanahan. He was a great goal scorer, in his prime and desperately wanted to play for a contender. I like to think it would have a similar effect on this team.

Babs says Helm is the best 3rd line centre in the NHL bar none. Kenny MUST SIGN PRUST. 3rd line is Cleary-Helm-Bert and the 4th line hopefully will be Prust-Abs-Eaves.

Unless we could get Tampa or some other team to help us out again I don't see this happening. We would have to give up way more then hes worth.

So would Parise and Datsyuk, difference is Datsyuk doesn't have soup for brains! Nor does he dive all over the place, nor does he start things and run away... Parise can either play with a Man or play with a weaselly crybaby who is one hit away form missing another 60 games...It's his choice.

Christ..... What we need are less people to side with one side or the other and more people who want to see BOTH sides work out a deal. Lets make sure as fans of the sport that we want to see an NHL season. To hell with one side over the other. Its a sport with 3.3 billion dollars of revenue. They should be able to work out a deal and not sacrifice part or all of the season. If there are any games lost, or a season lost, I will be blaming both sides equally for being idiots. After all, it was both sides that contributed to the last lockout.

Which U.S. city has the best hookers? esteef

Am I the only one who wouldn't pay a guy who's never played more than 33 games in a season 4 million a season? I mean he was very good in his 60 some-odd games he's played but there have been a ton of goalies who have had a great season only to fall apart the next. If they move Luongo and he falls apart that fan-base will go crazy.

if it was up to me cleary and/or bertuzzi wouldnt be back and replaced with guys like prust ,doan etc.. unfortunetly ken holland is overly loyal ... bertuzzi never should of been resigned to 2 yrs especially now that hes 37

Ya we should get rid of one of the only tough players we got. Are you nuts? This team needs more players like this, not less.

Lot a money for an unproven player. Canucks better hope they're making the right decision.

Pittsburgh put up 58 pts in Crosby's rookie year. The same year, Washington put up 70 (good for 2nd last in the conference) with Ovi.

The difference is, in a word, defense. Crosby has no d-game; Datsyuk wins Selkes.

Smith gives our team offense and gives the other team offense.

Doan would be a great addition to the wings, someone who can really bring the pain on the forecheck and just goes all out 24/7,

I like the fact that Holland at least put an effort in getting Schultz and made his interests public. At least it shows he isnt in his office playing Solitaire. I guess i'm a little more optimistic for his commitment to signing UFA's this year.

I'm with you. Who cares. All this attention has only given him a big ego and he thinks he's top dog right now. Sorry Justin, but I'm sure we'll be just fine without you.

Doan would be perfect for this team and is exactly the type of player we need
