WHat's the story with Blake WHeeler? I haven't seen him play, only the highlight goals.

He's got great size and suppossedly great hands, why doesn't his name come up at all? WHat's his story?

His problem is between his ears.

Leaf fans also hated Murphy, and he worked out just fine in Detroit

As for Kaberle he's a better player than most think - although I gotta admit he hasn't been too impressive so far in a Bruins sweater...He's a player I could see Holland possibly target if Lidstrom were to retire.

I dont know if you've watched him or not so I'm not passing judgment on you. But I've watched him for years as I live in TOronto and the guy is god awful defensively. He is so weak on the puck and he gets pushed around all day long. It's pathetic.

Canucks might try and trade Ballard in an attempt to keep both Erhoff and Bieksa.

NMC I believe, or at a minimum NTC

I think Ballard has one of those restricted NTCs...

f*** defense, sign Jagr.

[HankthaTank 1,100]

f*** defense, sign Jagr.

f*** Jagr, sign Selanne

But really, defense is necessary.

I wouln't mind Michael Ryder. He's got a good scoring touch and also plays with a little bit of a physical edge. Boston's played him on each of the Top 3 lines over the past few years, and he also has had limited experience on the penalty kill. He can be a great depth player here.

Did Pittsburgh hate Murph, too? Because Kaberle isn't exactly racking up love points where he plays. Honestly, we're screwed if we're hoping Kaberle can fill in for Lidstrom.
