Once Dwight King went off Richards/Toffoli's wing, the line went stale.
That say's a lot about King...

A shut down center or winger lol. Really. Our biggest concern is offensive production, we need someone who's offensively talented and can shoot and make plays too for Richards and Toffoli.
So your saying that you believe our troubles against the Hawks is that we can't score, right?
I see it differently. I think when we won our cup we had less O talent on the team then we do today but we played a much more structured shut down D system from top to bottom. A player like Chris Stewart would be a great add imo. He would hit intimidate and provide some level of scoring while playing responsibly in his own zone too. I am not saying he is the perfect fit but he would be better then going out and getting a one dimensional player like Squid or anyone of his ilk.
That said for the Richards line by the time the playoffs roll around we will have one of the heaviest hitting 30+ per season goal scoring LW's in the game today on that line and the guy has recently won the cup.
My point was that we need someone for our 3rd line. I never said we need anyone for our second.
But it is apples and socks. There may be more than one way to skin a cat or that is what I will say without being insulting to anyone.
Really don't think that's the problem. Chicago beats us with their speed. Saad danced around our defense. They get the puck up quickly with their speedy shifty wingers making our slow ass defenseman their *****es.
Shut down player is not what this team is missing.
I think hartnell would fit really well into the kings system.
He seems like the aggressive player that could drive kopitars line. I'm not saying he's the most skilled, but he's got a top 6 skill set and wouldn't be a cancer in the locker room.Geez if Holmgren made a deal that saw LA get Hartnell for anything more than a bag of pucks, Snider would keep his general manger around for another 5 years at least. LA (or any other NHL team except the Flyers) does not want this player or his contract.

His contract of 4.75 million for the next 5 seasons after this one is why Hartnell is a bad idea.
Do you think Dallas would consider moving Ray Whitney? He's as old as dirt but he's still got some offensive skills and he'd be an asset on our stagnate PP.
