Son of a Wing

Who could the "other" veteran defenceman be. Whos left? My impression was anyone could sign a two way. His age would affect his waiver status. So if he were to ever called up or down he would be subject to waivers.

Well its not like "winged wheels" exist either but its cool. Legged penguins are A-ok in my book.

LOL Their guest was Rob Babcock. Former GM of the Toronto Raptors.

No its the way he was when we had actual top 6 forwards like Lang and Bertuzzi to work with. We need a goal scorer and he may just be one of them. Babcock even said its up to Franzen and Hudler to battle for the top two left wing spots with Grigs being the wildcard.

You're the one always going around telling people to shut up. Look in the mirror.

Why?

We only think you're a jerk when you go around calling people names

I think its more about the playing time then the money. Right now hes like the 7-8 defenceman. I guess he feels a year in the RSL will benifit him more than the minors.

Not bad.

It doesn't help when you're entire arguement is based on what ifs.

Here we go....

At the expense of who? I don't see how it would be worth it to sign either of them to a one year contract at the expense of someone like Kopecky.

Thats great and all but it has nothing to do with the topic. Sakic WAS better than alot of thos forwards but not anymore. He's still elite but is past his peak. Luongo is just entering his prime which is why it is a solid arguement that he COULD be the best goaltender in the league. This is all speculation and opinion so don't act like there is one easy answer. In my opinion Luongo and Brodeur will continue to be at the top while Kipper and Giguere will be a step below. But who knows someone like Backstrom could blow them all out of the water. It's the current talent we're comparing not the accomplishments of the past. Yes they do play a factor in considering experience but everyone rises and falls.

You guys are kinda getting off topic. Isn't the list just considering their current talent level? Not how many years left or how much they are going to improve/degrade over the next couple years. Regardless there should be a different list for forwards, defence and goalies. Comparing apples and oranges.

Top 20? no Top 30? yes. but its all subjective so sure

Top 20 for me: 1. Sidney Crosby 2. Joe Thornton 3. Nicklas Lidstrom 4. Roberto Luongo 5. Martin Brodeur 6. Alexander Ovechkin 7. Vincent LeCavalier 8. Dany Heatley 9. Jarome Iginla 10. Chris Pronger 11. Jaromir Jagr 12. Marian Hossa 13. Joe Sakic 14. Miika Kiprusoff 15. Zdeno Chara 16. Henrik Zetterberg 17. Pavel Datsyuk 18. Ilya Kovalchuk 19. Marian Gaborik 20. Sergei Zubov Kovalchuk and Gaborik would be much higher if not for their defensive game.

Double post

Whats with all the hostility on LGW lately? People swearing at each other, calling names. Seriously, chill out. Who cares if someone posted something stupid. Just ignore it unless you want a flame war.

So because someone didn't play hockey they are less knowledgeable about the game? I guess you don't think much of Scotty Bowman then. lol

I think DetroitIan has an alter ego Why do you think anyone here wants to hear how much you hate Nashville? It's just ignorant babble.

Good signing. Michalek is one player I would trade anyone but Zetts for.

You dont have anything else to say because calling people names is the most intelligent thing you can come up with to try and prove your point. Works wonders by the way. The rest of your post shows your somewhere around puberty I PLAY HOCKEY AND YOU DONT!!! hahaha

Nice comparison

You can't really judge the guy who found it. Treasure hunters don't invest all their all time and money into finding stuff they are just going to give back. All treasure belonged to someone at sometime. Finders keepers in my opinion. He's already gone out of his way to find the owner and offer it for a price.

Easy there no need to make it personal and start name calling. Take a deep breath. Where did I refer to anybody as Waste? Are you reading my posts? lol Wasn't that what Norton was for yet proved completely ineffective? You don't think theres a reason Low has only played 6 games since the lockout?
