what to expect from PATRICK EAVES?

[Guest blueadams]

He's probably going to play the point on our second PP unit. Is he a top 6 forward? a third liner? a fourth liner? Is he going to be able to regain his scoring touch? Is he a solid two-way player!?

sorry...im not that familiar with him.

from what I understand he is a solid defensive player. Likely 2nd or 3rd line unless we sign another scoring foward. Whether or not he regains his scoring touch....well we can speculate all we want but we are gonna have to wait and find out.

Comparisons to a Cleary story but let's not go overboard here.

[rage 24]

15 goals.

I doubt he's going to be entrusted with second line scoring potential right out of the gate.

Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Cleary/Holmstrom

Franzen - Filppula - Cleary/Holmstrom

Leino - Helm - Eaves

Abdelkader/UFA - Draper - Maltby

kopecky's replacement imo

for anyone who thinks he will go to the second line, you're dreaming. no matter how bad homers post season, he's going to be in the top 6 at the beginning of next season. babcock doesn't run this team the way some of you would-he's patient and realizes you don't forget how to do the little things homer does in one 2-month chunk. eaves will be a third line guy unless he starts scoring like crazy.

I expect at least one fight. The rest...meh. Dont care.

They're just desperate to get a North American in the top-six. But they shouldn't fret because Cleary looks to be a fixture on the second line.

Rekindl'd Colorado/Red Wings rivalry??

Tucker (Now an Av) punched Eaves (Now a Red Wing) out when they were with the Leafs and Sens, I doubt it, seeing as Eaves wanted no part of Tucker (LMAO, Tucker's a *****) and all, but maybe just maybe that can spark some s***. I miss that rivalry, THN has it as one of the top 5 of all time.

10-20 goals, decent defensive presence, some physical play. If he plays the point, I'll start a I Hate Babcock group on Facebook.

If that happens and he splits the Euro twins again this season then I will be joining.

Yeah I hope the finals this year taught Babs a lesson about splitting Z and Dats-- keep them together at least long enough to maintain their chemistry from 07-08.

Did we get fries with that???

Or did he come with the Happy Meal?
