Impossible.
Faceoffs are definitely important but some people are reading way too much into them.
yeah I mean if faceoffs are our biggest problem............................
Every team has it's flaws, and I'm aware that faceoffs can be a problem, but let's not fill 1 hole and create another...
Right now the three worst players on this team are:
Hagelin (Hands of stone)
Stempniak (just all around average)
Girardi (WOAT puck handler)...
those are 3 players that most teams would LOVE to have as their worst players...
I'd only move Hagelin if it was an upgrade who was in his prime, and signed past this year... Hall comes to mind, but more salary has to move... I'd consider Hagelin + Glass + Prospect. Beyond that, **** no. move on, keep the guy here through 15-16
I'd move Stempniak if it was a CLEAR upgrade from that spot at a price we can afford... Stempniak may not be a world breaker, but he could also be one of those playoffs performers that knows what to do when in a tight playoff game... Need I mention his cap hit of a mere $900k.... Please tell me who can replace what he brings at that price.
Girardi is signed long term, and has recently improved his play. No moves here...
Beyond this, who else is tradeable? Dom Moore is a precious piece, Kreider and Miller are untouchables, Nash and MSL are not going anywhere this season and the former is most definitely staying here for awhile
