Oh yes, because +/- is sucha reliable stat. Gimme a break. Hippocrites.

That was a whole lot of a different circumstance than we are in now.

Your point is a good one, and is noted. Not getting defensive. Just pointing out that my argument has little to nothing to do with Monster. Fair? Indeed the forum is public. Feel free to respond.

He already so he won"t make any depth moves. It's big move or sit tight.

Oh is that the difference between a 1st liner and a 2nd/3rd liner? I had no idea.

Nope, obviously they're two very different players. But I do find it amusing that many here are quick to overlook Ovi's laziness, but then quick to condemn Franzen's, that's all

Fair, but u jumped into an argument where my point was that Green is a very high-risk FA that I don't see Holland signing. Monsters history does very little to change that.

On LGW Ovie is one of the best wingers of all time and Franzen is possibly the worst.

I'm basing my opinion on Holland. If Holland traded XO it would be startling based on the strategy he's displayed over the years. I believe XO is probably one of the highest on his totem poll. He's always played the long game like that.

Understood. But when you make as much money as JJ does, you need a professional to handle your investments. If you make as much as him and your parents are handling your money still, I advise you to seek a financial planner.

I don't see Holland trading anyone other than Kindl. It's clear he likes Q and E. XO is awesome and is not going to be traded in a package. Not sure why anyone thinks Holland would pull a move like that, he hasn't ever.

I think where you exit in the playoffs is extremely overrated. Sometimes teams drift to the 3rd round. Sometimes they have to fight tooth and nail to get there. And sometimes the best teams are upset very early. Getting there is the goal of the regular season. If you do that you deserve praise. The goal of the playoffs is to win the cup. If you don't do that you, you should start focusing on the next regular season and what it's going to take to get back to that position. Not blow up the team.

He's also a backup that only needs to be around 20-30 games a year, if that with a workhorse like Howard. And like Colo is a much smaller cap percentage than green would be. You can't compare a guy like that to Green.

Monster and Weiss didn't have a terrible injury rep when we signed them. Colo was a last minute signing that made a fraction of what Green will get. Signing Green is risky bc of his terrible history and and price tag. I don't see it happening.

Really? And that's just from this thread

Holland will never chance it on a guy like green. Way too risky at his price tag coupled with his history.

Don't put facts in his mouth! He doesn't enjoy the taste

Holland said no rentals or depth moves. Either a big move or sit tight. http://kuklaskorner.com/tmr/comments/riger-dont-expect-a-depth-move-from-holland-or-the-wings?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter So looks like we're sitting tight.

What is that? 9 pts on the season for Smith? Wow, what a puck mover that kid's turned out to be...

7th rounder turns out to be next Datsyuk

Perhaps Buffalo is interested in Marchenko and we're showcasing him. They have more than a few young Russians already... Grigorenko, Zadorov, Makarov...

This makes me mucho happy. We're finally in a position where the kids can rotate in and we no longer require the services of the Lashoffs of this world

GET THE WHEELS ON THE TANK

What if I get by a bus tmrw? Take the payout man!

I think the Isles are gonna be that team that flops in the POs this year. As for us playing them, I see our overall team D shutting them down, unless they can get us on our heels with their energy game from guys like Martin and C Buck
