Typical sparty inferiority complex smh... (before your smart ass comment in return. I know you were sarcastic)

Agreed, I had visions of a poor man's DMac when he moved to forward. However I doubt we see him in the nhl. He could turn out to be a valuable piece in GR to protect our top prospects through out the years though.

The days of having a guy that can only be tough are over, especially in this franchise. You have to at least be a shut down defender ala glendening.

I wonder if it was more intriguing for Cheveldayoff to trade Kane to Buffalo. Not just for the return, but to send Kane to a perennial loser.

Lööke is 17 plays in a professional men's league which is why his points are down. I have not seen him play obviously outside of highlight clips but he looks the part of a future top 6 playmaker. I live in Plymouth, Michigan so I have seen Matt Spencer play when Peterborough came to town. Am I a pro scout no and I may be wrong about him. He is tough kid, but imo if he doesn't grow his best attribute will be limited at the next level. If Spence is available in the 2nd which is possible then hell yeah let's do it. I have also watched Greenway play, and while raw I thought he looked good with and without the puck. He has a ton of upside from what I have seen and read.

Provorov and Carlsson are lefties, the others will definitely be gone. Roy is small, and Spencer is a right handed Kyle Quincy. We need either one of them like Franzen needs another concussion. However there will be value in the 2nd and beyond. You don't pass on a Greenway or Lööke if available in the mid twenties for a dman that could be replaced with very little drop off in the 2nd. But carry on with your dman agenda

Love love love Lööke, just not as much as Greenway if available. Krsmith, If one of the top 3 dman drop to the mid twenties then sure. After the top 3 there isn't a dman to take until the second round. Why pass up a furture top 6 forward for reaching on a should be end round player?

Come on man! Have a little faith bro. Dats should be back, and we usually play well against the hawks.

Would have to be 2013/14 western conference version of the wings. I would take just a late pick at this point.

Yeah, but he produced when dats and z were injured as well. I truly feel that we became the hockey version of the Yankees. We thought he was the next Selanne, and when he wasn't quite that he wore out his welcome with a lot of fans. I suppose it was a grass is always greener, I am Included in this. I fear we are gonna pay long-term for this one.

I could be wrong, but I thought he wanted over 5 to stay with us and we all thought he was a dick for not taking a moderate discount. Then we could sign this 60pt guy for less, and we were set for a cup run with Alfie... At least that is how I remember it. There has been countless bottles of whiskey, wine, and beer between there and here so it could be just a random figment of my distorted imagination.

Probably should have kept Filpula. I was all for signing Weiss instead of Valteri, but at least Holland and I were wrong...

Kindl is terrible. He literally had 50% of the net to shoot at, amd he hits Berniet inbthe numbers

Mike Barwis is one of the best athletic trainers in the world, if not the best. His strong suit is injury/accident recovery. Search Brock Mealer to see how his training methods, along with a motivated individual, can produce amazing results.

Not needed, no team would take him anyway. Lol

Cleary = Warrior

Babs probably wanted Cleary. I just don't get it. If you want him around the locker room for leadership give him some bull s*** job. This is exactly why top free agents don't want to play for the wings anymore.

No, no, no... The last thing we need to do is panic and sign an over the hill, injury prone, small defenseman blocking a young guy from ice time... So I fully expect him to be signed by the end of the week...

We are still better than Buffalo, Ottawa, Winnipeg, New Jersey, and Florida. So yeah weay end up woth a small shot at Connor...

Lmao my fiance just sang that to me when I was ranting to her!

That is a perfect reason to blame him. Why aren't we a destination anymore? Probably falls on the GM not making the team a legit contender since 2010 right?

Trade Kindl, and bring up the kids for the third pairing.

Very nice

He has two good years left at a minimum.

McCann, or Tuch!
