...and Helm

its no doubt their game plan is to go after Larkin. Cheap, cheap, cheap...

see, I said put Green out there first and blast it and blast it...who needs Oates? Send me a check....

just so we're all on the same page, if that was Howard in net, its 4-1...

...honestly though, before the first goal, there was 2 slashing and a hook that should have been called. Refs gave them the momentum by not calling any of them and in the same play Jimmt muffed the dump in allowing the first goal...then Howard happened.

....and that's why he is tradable! Get him off this team!

get him the f*** out! 3 shots, 3 goals....jesus!

get Howard the f*** out of there!

Sorry Vladdy, the convo apparently turned from Mantha's laziness to his progress to trading him and for who...that is why all these trade sceanrios popped up involving packages of other players as well as Mantha.

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/wpg151214.html Byfuglien asking for 8 yrs.$55M is not too bad actually.... $6.8M cap hit sounds good... http://www.thefourthperiod.com/columnists/bernstein/db151209.html This is a trade that the writers would like to see. Who on our team, is equal to the likes of Kyle Clifford and Adrain Kempe. I am pretty sure we could better that deal, then give him 7 yrs. $7M per.

I understand, but for just $3.6M more than Ericcson, he is worlds better. Plus E is 31 and still has 5 more years. (including this year) If that were a trade that could happen (which of course it wouldn't) its really a no brainer. But odds are we are keeping all of E, Nyquist and Mantha.... I just hope Mantha isn't a bust, all the hype and hooplah. We need to get him up here for a few games to see how he handles it.

AhhHH! The Olympia and its sponsored by Olympia Beer!

Let's call them the "Retired Line" Sorry for the bump, but sometimes its fun to bump up an old topic to look and remember some of our older users! Dang, I cannot believe Eva Unit Zero hasn't been here for a few years!

So, like, nobdy with a NMC ever got traded then. Ok, I see..... Besides, its a NTC not a NMC and it's a modified NTC to boot. But ok, we'll go with nobody with a Modified NTC gets moved either, ever, my bad. Acquiring Weber and really only losing Nyquist and the potential of Mantha is a trade that has to be made. We have players that can make up for a good amount of the loss of Nyquist, but the addition Weber makes is game changing, Cup contending.

This is why we need two threads....

Speaking of parking....I haven't been dowtown to a game since I moved to West Michigan, but I was appauled to find out that The Post is no longer The Post. We used to park in the garage near it and stop in after the game all the time. I understand Dino took it over and outside of leaving the old wooden bar, he painted over all the grafitti on the walls and ceiling and every other unmentionable place. What a tragedy! Sorry Dino, I love you, but you don't change an historic icon like that....sad, sad days....

Nobody....you keep in GR to get top line minutes unless you can plug him in the top 6 here as an injury call up. Again, if he were here now, I'd put him next to Pav and drop Helm into Miller's spot, until Miller comes back. Which is where I have Nosek. The Kid - Z - Abby Nosek (or Mantha) - Pav - Richards Nyquist - Sheahan - Tatar Helm - Glen - Jurco (or Andersson)

Shane Doan? My reaction to that? "OH!" - Jay and Silent Bob edit: Had the video up, but then removed it, it does get a little (a lot) suggestive. If you want to hear the "oh!" look up the video on youtube. Just search Jay and silent bob oh.

Weber's cap hit is $7.8M. If you're dumping E and Nyquist along with Mantha, there is plenty of cap room for Weber. Plus he's signed for the next 100 years, so you wouldn't have to worry about him walk UFA come July. But the fact that I've never heard Weber's name mentioned in trade rumors makes it a moot point anyhow.

MLA = Miller Lite Arena?

He's even better in the bottom 6. Hate is not Swelling, my distain for Helm in the top 6 goes way back, before you came in. I just don't think Helm is top 6 material. Besides once Miller comes back to take his spot back, then Nosek will go back down to GR and Helm can go back to wence he came.

Nah, it wouldn't cost Ericsson and Mantha to get Byfuglien in a straight up two team deal. He's a pending UFA.

I really wish we'd shed ourselves of Ericsson. I'd rather get rid of him and extend Green for a couple years if he is still producing after his contract. If we included E in a package it could get interesting....

I would most certainly put XO in over Kindl next game and I would put Nosek on Pav's wing with Richards and move Helm down to the 4th.....until Miller gets back.
