Well for one I strongly disagree Faulk is ready to handle the load alone as a top pairing guy, he absolutely needs help and wiz possibly could do that. Secondly, of course the price would have to right.

I never said he could handle any duty like faulk can, only that he could maybe help out. I wouldn't put them in the same pairing, not to "save" faulk from him as much as to hopefully create two decent pairings.
Fleury has 6p in last 6gp. Maybe he can get it going a bit.
From what I understand reading a lot about McKeown and Fleury the past few days, both of the teams that drafted them had a conversation with them about the role they see them filling in the NHL. Then they tried to convince the guys to go back to juniors and play that role, and work on the craft of being a defenseman. There's a ton of talent in Canadian juniors, but there's still a big gap and skaters like McKeown and Fleury can literally outskate their mistakes. But they won't be able to do that at the AHL and NHL levels, so their teams asked them to try to be a bit more disciplined, even if they don't really have to at the level they're playing at.
Make sense?
I never realized how ****** Colorado College is at hockey. 6-26-3...damn.
Slavin is only a sophomore now, but he's almost 21. I hope they sign him this offseason.
