Here's the problem, intolerable? Really? You act like he actively shoots us in the foot when he's not scoring. He doesn't. He's a reliable defensive presence. Everyone just expects him to score every game, then he doesn't and fans get frustrated. Yup we have 2nd liner locked up on a long contract. He's never getting bought out barring a huge drop in overall scoring
-
For a guy who's here to be THE goal scorer, he certainly isn't paid like one. Maybe it's just the fans who want him to be that guy, and the wings know exactly what he is: a $4 million 2nd line scorer
-
So which $4 million consistent scorer should we grab?
-
"Do u even watch the games bra?" Everyone is quick to forget that Nyquist was invisible at the beginning of his season And pointless in these playoffs. I personally think Nyquist will be a great player one day, but that's just my amateur opinion. At this point in his career he's just as streaky as Franzen.
-
Not one of the kids had a pt in the playoffs either, but they are cool and new unlike Franzen
-
Would you buyout a 50-60 pt player at 4 million?
-
Filppula: on pace for 63 pts Franzen: on pace for 62 pts Fil costs about a million more than Franzen, so Tampa should buy him out right? Franzen buy out a no brainer? U ppl live in a bizarre fantasy land Hudler: on pace for 59 pts and he costs the same as Franzen. Calgary definitely going to buy him out too *rolls eyes*
-
41 pts in 54 gp for $4 mill is fine by me. Expecting Franzen to be our teams goal scoring X factor in most games is unrealistic IMO. He's a $4 million dollar player, not a $6 or a $7 million dollar player like Datsyuk and Zetterberg. "But he could be so much better!" No he can't. He's good for 50-60 pts a season and that's it. Expecting more bc of his brief 08-09 playoff streak is unfair.

http://rinkroyalty.com/2014/04/16/los-angeles-kings-matt-greenes-future-willie-mitchell/ Michigan native. Super physical shut-down guy. Or do we risk waiting till FA?
-
So we need a new coach, a new GM, a new top Dman, a new top scorer, and a new starting goalie? Agreed? Do we need a new logo too?
-
I think that's a huge overpayment for Simmonds and would not "LOL" at you.
-
They are really bad at it lol it's embarrassing.
-
Except all the flopping
-
Abdelkader - Datsyuk - Alfredsson Nyquist - Legwand - Franzen Tatar - Sheahan - Jurco Miller - Helm - Glendening
-
Maybe he's just been given great talent by Holland...
-
I'd say the only non-sequiter here is jumping to conclusions. Sheahan is yes a third line center right now, but he's still very young, and has had lots of success already in his rookie year. To completely slot him at 3rd his entire career would require a crystal ball. Twins point was a good one, and not absurd. Guys like Zetterberg were never projected to be 1st liners when they were drafted. Neither was Sheahan. To say he doesn't have any potential to make 1st line at this point in his career is absurd. That's not optimism that's just argumentationizing
-
I'm sure nothing will happen with it till FA
-
My vote is Barbashev at the moment. A lot of talk about him being the most NHL ready.
-
Omg I never realized Chara was sucha flopper, disgraceful
-
Oh you mean the guy who's on pace for over 60+ pts and has only played 54 games this season? Which 15 did he decide to play in? Oh wait Franzen has pts in 25 games out of 54 this season? Didn't realize he was a point per every other game player like he's paid.

Your predictions for the roster heading into the offseason.
number9 replied to DSM's topic in General
Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Franzen Nyquist - Legwand - Alfredsson Sheahan - Weiss - Tatar Abdelkader - Helm - Jurco Mantha/Andersson/Malykhin/Miller Kronwall - Ericsson DeKeyser - Smith Kindl - Lashoff Ouellet/Sproul/Almqvist/Marchenko Howard Gustavsson Mrazek/McCollum/Paterson Team looks great when u subtract all the crappy old vets. I'd be 100% ok with no off season FAs, though it looks like Matt Greene is coming here -
Last time the 3 of them may see regular season NHL ice
-
So much respect. Smyth was a guy who lived and breathed oilers hockey, through good and bad. Nucks gained a lot of respect in my book too. Man deserves a cup. A warrior that asked for little and gave it all. Touching departure. He'll be missed by all.
-
Think we can all agree that Ryan would have been a great addition to this team. I think we can also agree Nyquist is a great addition to this team. And he's free. So yeah.
