OMG, OMG. omg... ! THIS has made my day! A big reason to diss Corsi!

Reinhart was the opposite of eye candy - no I don't mean unrecognized great play - in awful play!

Just watch Mr. Corsi get waived (and likely cleared - unless an Avs-like team decides he may suck less than PTO Cowan).

A bit dated (came out last Wednesday). More from Friedman

6. A few GMs/executives saw the same thing in the first week. As one said, “A lot of teams are really thin on the blue line.” You could probably name 10 clubs with a strong defence corps, but how many of them are confident enough to subtract from that group in a trade? There’s a squeeze. That’s where Vegas comes in, but right now it’s an old-fashioned staring contest between George McPhee and his peers. As one GM said, “The guys we want are the guys he wants to keep.”

IOW, they want the top guys that George doesn't want to part with, not the scratched guys.

They can have Schmidt if they overpay. Theodore isn't untouchable either.
