Pretty much what we've all discussed on this HF Boards as well.
Looks like we're all insiders
well, not really true, what we have discussed here is Chara needs to be traded, Gaborik/E. Kane/any pilon who can scrap are all "good fits"
We call those people "Eklund"

I appreciate Scott's piece...however, does he know it's possible to type a full hockey sentence without mentioning posession stats?
He's also got Kelly returning, but Paille and Campbell being on the way out because of "poor posession stats." Yeah...I don't think that's supposed to be their game guy.
Also, his capgeek lineup wouldn't be cap compliant and there is not a chance on god's green earth that Krug comes in at $1M and Reilly at $1.5M.
Basically...yeah....no.
So Cullen thinks Bartkowski is an improving defenseman because of puck possession stats. Has he ever watched a game?
The Corsi/moneyball geeks need to stay out of hockey.
Puck possession numbers have their place in analyzing the game, but if it's literally your only justification for every single player on the team as to whether they're good or not, you need to watch some hockey.
In no way do I want Havlat on this team especially at $5M, Would rather just keep Iggy or try to sign Callahan/Gaborik etc for that kind of money.
I think Koko would be great on the third line with his speed and shot. Maybe play Spooner on the 4th line with Campbell and Paille.Havlat at $5 mil, hahahaha, why would you pay that plug that much when you could get Iginla for roughly the same moolah.
Also Moulson, Vanek or someone else for that matter, I would rather have Koko playing 3rd line wing rather than Havlat.
I thought Bartkowski did show some improvement this season.
Tough playoffs for sure though.
The projected lineup is hilarious, I'll give them that. Havlat.
What?! Where is Boston going to get 7 mil/per for one of those? All they need to make are minor moves. They still have a strong team.
Out: McQuaid, Kelly, Caron
In (promotion for AHL): Spooner, Fraser or Florek
You are missing the point, the article had the Bruins with Havlat for $5M a season, no way I would ever want him on the B's especially at that crazy amount of $$$, for that much you could keep Iggy or possibly get a much better player than Havlat.
I was very pleased to see a link to Loui Eriksson's corsi statistics.
