    To put things into perspective, Jurco played every game in November of last season and scored 1 goal and 1 assist. He also played every game in February and scored two goals. That's 24 games, in two 12 straight game segments. So while I agree that he's seen spotty usage at times, he's also seen prolonged usage at times as well. In neither case has he produced to the extent that he should given his skill set. He may need more time, and maybe he'll get it, but he's been undeniably disappointing thus far in his career. For comparison's sake, Teemu Pulkkinen played every game in October a scored 4 goals and 2 assist, and every game in November and scored 2 goals and 3 assists.

    He'll I'd be happy to see him be in the starting lineup for the first couple months of the season. Give him a chance to regain his confidence. It's not like he has ever had issues being a liability out there. Time to give him a legit chance to get into a rhythm. Not start one night, healthy scratch for the next weeks. Other players on this team have done a lot worse than Jurco without losing their roster spot. Even if he has to play on the fourth line, he should be playing.

    And honesty the more I hear from our beat writers the more it seems we haven't changed our mentality at all. It's Radulov OR Stamkos? They aren't even on the same ballpark. No one should hesitate to pay Stamkos $10 million. That's just the cost these days and we HAVE to have a ready number one center to compete.

    Another issue is that most of the roster had bad years as far as production goes. Outside of Larkin and Abdelkader, it's been a disappointment all around (only counting players on the team all season). Nyquist and Tatar were invisible for long stretches during the season. Hell, even Abdelkader took a couple seasons to start producing playing with Pav and Hank. His production early on playing with those guys was not good. Yet the coaches always stuck with it because he brings more to the table than just putting up points. I don't think it is at all unreasonable to think that Jurco can have a similar impact on the team given some consistency in the lineup.

    Fixing this mess....

    http://mynhltraderumors.com/nhl-rumors-islanders-trade-bait-sami-vatanen-ryan-nugent-hopkins/2016/06/03/ Meanwhile, in Red Wings Land, Khan and HSJ are already managing expectations, preemptively justifying/rationalizing the Wings' all-but-inevitable inactivity on the summer trade front with the usual "There's not much out there, and all the GMs want [insert our best young player at the moment], which is a total no-go." We hear this refrain a dozen times every year. Now it's "Dylan Larkin is the asking price for Shattenkirk/Trouba/Hamilton/[insert the player you would want the Wings to pursue]." Alas! If only the CBA allowed GMs to negotiate with each other!

    Nothing wrong with the original Panthers jersey. No makeover needed. Please give Carolina a new jersey, color scheme and logo. Same with Arizona and a few others.

    New arena construction updates

    I'm just as excited as ever. What is on the roof won't take away from my enjoyment of watching a game inside of it.

    Current logo is better and has history. This looks like a MLS logo.
