Do you still support Ken Holland and Mike Babcock?

Do you consider Smith "broke in"

Let's put our offensive defenseman in a dump and chase system, not use him on the PP but use him on the PK.

Yes. He is a regular player for DRW.

Given Babcock's love affair with size, does anyone else think it's a little surprising Sheahan hasn't been given more of a look-in? He must be doing something wrong because given what he offers I'm pretty staggered he hasn't been given more of an opportunity.

Dunno, but there's only Nyquist, Tatar, Järnkrok and Pulkkinen who are small guys in our prospect system. After those guys there's only big guys left.

Almquist is the only smallish defenceman who has realistic NHL-potential. All the guys are big who'll start knocking the door in 1-2 years.

Sheahan doesn't really look that big. Worse, for him, he doesn't play that big.

Sheahan doesn't really look that big. Worse, for him, he doesn't play that big.

What he looks like means nothing as long as he is listed at 6´2, 212 lbs. If he plays small, on the other hand, we could have a problem.
