I will begin tally and percentages later.

 

[JimEIV]

How can Volchenkov have a "turn-around" season? Turn around to what? 2007? That would be a "Turn Back the Clock" season.

He's been terrible his entire time here, so I'm not sure what he can possibly turn around to?

Turn-around old-school style

[SteveCangialosi123]

Loktionov is so overrated on this board. It's evident by everyone's predictions.

If you say he's gonna drop off you have to concede that he was good last year, no?
