The thing with Phillips and also Markov is that you're betting on experience and instincts to trump declining mobility.wouldn't chris pillips be perfect? left shot. defense first. veteran. is over the hill or something?
If Joe Corvo ever suits up in a Caps uniform again I'll puke. Why would the Sens be selling anyways?
are you actually counting jurcina? lol
You are actually focusing on Juice?
Ok subtract him. What GM has acquired more PMRHD at the deadline in the past 5 years?
Regardless, why should I ignore him? That was one of George's best trades ever.
I think it was the only one that cost him nothing, good insurance in case of a long cup run. We were jack stacked that year, one of our best chances at a cup ever.
I would not have considered jurcina a puck mover in the first place. an offensive defenseman he was not. yes he could break the glass with his shot on any day, but offense was not something he brought. which on puck movers other than corvo at the deadline are you talking about? wideman. that's two. who am I forgetting?
jurcina was a freebee because he was injuried was not likely to be able to play before the finals.
You are forgetting to answer my question, which GM has targeted more than 2 PMRDs at the deadline in the past 5 years.

I wonder what it would take to land Kesler.
I'm thinking someone with those same characteristics and a little more mobility than Phillips would be ideal. A defensive minded guy that can play on the second pairing and let Green do his thing offensively should be our target at the deadline. Players like Trevor Daley, Matt Greene, or in a perfect world Hjalmarsson/Oduya.

what does that mean exactly?
Any player on the ive cant ignore his basic defensive responsibility.....in either case what is preventing from 52 "doing his thing" now? other than being injured, again, what is holding him back from doing his thing? What is "his thing"? He had a stretch where he was a dynamic player with the puck but thats been years now.....he seems to be made of glass, and even more fragile mentally. It sounds like you are saying the system or his partner are holding him back. To me a 6 mil a year payer should be able to do his thing, to some degree. I dont see adding a Oduya or the like turning 52 into a 1st team all-star again. Maybe im wrong
