The Mike Weaver for a 5th and the Hemsky for a 3rd and 5th could have made this team MUCH better than we are now... Holland is smooching the pooch today.

If you really think so you know very little about hockey. Not only could those 3rd and 5ths turn into players like Jurco, Tatar, Nyquist, Oullet, Sproul etc. , but Weaver and Hemsky would not fill any need we have on the team right now.

Weaver is not what we need. Hemsky is not what we need. Neither of them would make us MUCH better.

...and the saying is: "screwing the pooch"

Let me ask this......if these kids and picks are so valuable...what do we do until they are ready to come up? What we have now? Then stick with the kids, stop signing these old useless stopgap veterans and stick with them. Bring them up to replace the broken down vets and do nothing today.

It was said very well earlier by someone....Ken Holland has become known for half-measures.

NOT trading for Hemsky will most likely mean that we can keep the kids in the lineup down the stretch here. Plus a soft, inconsistent winger? No thanks.

Like I said before, kesler would be good, and I think Edler would be a definite upgrade on the back end. But really, what do you guys expect? KH and co realise there is no point selling off the farm because these days drafting and development is what leads to success (as we have seen). I would take a step back and appreciate for a minute what the guys running the show have done to keep us going to the playoffs for 22 straight seasons! Making rash moves won't help that continue.

This transition has already happened... how would Hemsky not be another stop-gap? He's a UFA...

...b-b-b-but Holland is still playing BERT!! :cold2:

And they re-signed Cleary, and signed Alfredsson and Weiss. Either let the kids come up or trade em. But MAKE A CHOICE for the direction of the team!

i got a gut feeling that the Edler, Erhoff talk is a smoke screen and we are after Tyler Myers. Granted he is having a bad year

but he is a young big R/H who can eat up 20+ mins. The big thing is although only 24 he has over 300 games under his belt.

Maybe a change of surroundings is what he needs. What we'd have to give up? But whatever it is it'll be too high for Kenny!
