    I think you should read this now, because you obviously haven't done that yet. Just read it and think about it for a moment. "- Fil we think is a second-line center in the NHL." - Mike Babcock (who obviously doesn't know anything about hockey)

    I'm still waiting responses for my three previous posts.

    I don't think Filatov will ever be an NHL calibre player. I mean look at these stats: 2008-09 Columbus Blue Jackets NHL 8 4 0 4 0 2009-10 Columbus Blue Jackets* NHL 13 2 0 2 8

    The 5-year trial is over: Scrub the shootout

    Tie (also called OT loss) should be more valuable than losing because it's just natural. I just don't understand why it's so hard to agree giving one point for the OT loss.

    Exactly. That is how market value works in basically everything in life about buying and selling. Or do you have some exact value for guys putting up X amount of points? That would be like in Soviet Union where every product had its solid value. I think that Franzen argument was pretty good. Is he worth the money? Because Filppula would be get +50 points this season if he had been able to play 82 games. And to say he's only a energy player is wrong. He's a great player defensively.

    So basically first team A plays team B and the game ends 5-5. After which team C loses 15-0 to team A. Team B and C both get 0 points, although team B was easily the better team and. 3 win 2 OT win 1 OT loss 0 loss Just do it like the rest of the world does. I mean really. I think that's the biggest issue here. Americans can't change it like that anymore because in Europe they already did it.

    I'm not speaking about potential here. He is over 0,6ppg THIS SEASON. He is great defensively already. You think 3mill for that is overpaid? Ok.

    I still don't understand how a great defensive forward who is +0,6ppg and capable of putting over 60 points is overpaid at 3mill.

    My Line Combinations

    Dunno know about that. I think Bertuzzi with Datsyuk and Franzen with Zetterberg is more chemistry. Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom Franzen-Filppula-Bertuzzi Miller-Williams-Cleary Draper-Helm-Eaves + Maltby, Leino Lidstrom-Kronwall Stuart-Rafalski Ericsson-Lilja + Lebda Howard Osgood

    The 5-year trial is over: Scrub the shootout

    No shootout. 4 on 4 OT until a goal is scored. 0 points for loss in regulation 1 point for loss in OT 2 points for win in OT 3 points for win in regulation Easy. Shootouts are there to make the games shorter. We could always reduce the number of games to get rid of shootouts, but I don't think that is what people want.

    But this is now and that was then. Filppula's playing good at the moment, that's the only thing I care about. I think we all know that he still haven't even maxed his potential yet.

    Dear Babs:

    The guy who wants Filppula traded thinks Helm should be on the PP.

    I think making these kinda threads is more crazy.

    35 points? If he had played 82 games this season he'd put +50 points. Not to mention he's great defensively.

    2 major trades by Toronto.

    Hagman is inconsistent maybe between the games. But what does it matter if he'll have a 30+ goal season and has had 20+ goal seasons three times in a row now? Flames win easily.

    Maybe it's a fresh start for him.

    Does this McGuire guy know everything about European leagues as well?

    As I said Flames win. Phaneuf is overrated. Flames get much needed depth to their offense. Hagman plays well with Jokinen.

    Toskala and Hagman as I said before? edit: Or not.

    Hagman and Toskala to Ducks perhaps?

    Michael Nylander to Finland (Jokerit)

    Well that's weird. Why don't teams do like that more often then?

    Michael Nylander to Finland (Jokerit)

    As said before, Nylander's contract didn't come off the books. It's a loan deal. Capitals still pay him.
