He's been playing decent out there this season, atleast the past 4 games i'd give him. His saving grace is the fact that he's used as a center in our system, and our depth there isn't that great. I would say that his value is going up, and he'd be apart of a package, but i'm not sure we want to get rid of the 4th line center with helmer going down so frequently. He's been on the PK also, and doing a decent job.


Axe, by the way buddy, this is YOUR thread my man.

Yah! I am glad people are just starting to take Emdog for what he's worth. A guy who knows his damn role and shuts his damn mouth!

I must be the only one who liked what I saw from Chris Conner when he was here.  He had more jump, had better speed, through more hits, and was more effective on the ice than Emmerton, Mursak, and any of the other guys rotated up for a few games.  The guy was flying.  As much as I like Clears, Conner was more effective.
 
If Abby isn't going to score once in a while on Helm's wing, then I think a fourth line of Conner-Abby-Toots could be really effective.
 
Other than him getting injured, what am I missing?

I agree 100% with ya on Conner!!!

So you don't think he's a jabroni?

He's a good 13th forward. Thats all. People want him to be Draper, but he's not and never will ne. You just gotta like Emdog for what he does- fills in for injured guys.

I'd settle for Maltby, or Mac, or Devereaux, or Stacy Roest, or Matt Hussey...or anyone else who's no longer on the team.

 

Ok, just kidding, I don't have any problem with Emmy. I doubt many others would either if injuries weren't putting him in the lineup every game.

Exactly. Good way to say it.

Like I said before, Babcock should sit Cleary and make the 4th line Miller - Emmy - Eaves.  Then have the 3rd line Abby-Helm-Tootoo....

Cleary has lost his way. Its too bad.

I don't think anyone has said Emmerton is bad, he just adds nothing to this team. So people aren't sentimental about seeing him go.

Nope, I said it. I stick by it too. Emmerton is trash, we have enough trash. Get rid of Emmerton, Cleary, Quincey, Kindl, and Mursak, for starters

[The Axe]

Played in every game. Booya.

Emdog will get #2 next game. I guarantee it.

Emmerton got his goal for the year, now he's done. He will float as long as  babs lets him

Are you confident enough to stop using Emdog if he does not score?

You know that aint true

No, I hope it's not true... I know it most likely is true

Funny, all summer and lockout you argued that he was a regular and that "We would see".

 

Frankly, this team has absolutely zero need for a regular 13th forward who will always be a 13th forward. We have Nyquist, Tatar, & Andersson, & Jurco and others as well who could fill that position from time to time and be better served from it.

 

"Emdog" is dead wood. Hopefully the Wings can get something for him.
