Nice, you compare them with two guys that are out of the NHL.....thing is, Shaw produced.Shaw is just another plug that got rich because he won cups on a really good team.
Bickell, Shaw, Bolland, etc...
I was being facetious. lolAs opposed to players like Kane, Toews, Hossa, Keith, Sharp, ....
Yeah sure.
Boston should hurry and trade Marchand then......He’s 25, going on 26.
He’s on a cheap contract and will need a new one (3 more years) by the time we’re ready to do anything. Keep in mind he’ll be 30 when he starts his new contract and he’ll have 10yrs of hard hockey on a small frame, typically that doesn’t mix well.
A smart GM would be willing to move Gallagher for the right price

PK LOVES the limelight. Not the usual, traditional hockey player personnality. Roenick was creating the same effect on his team mates.
Yeah, 'cause Montreal and Boston are in the exact same boat.Boston should hurry and trade Marchand then......
No, but a few years ago, they were.......and they didn't trade Marchand. I'm sure they were happy with their des icon to keep him.Yeah, 'cause Montreal and Boston are in the exact same boat.
I don't think Boston was ever in the situation we are now. We have no centers and no D.No, but a few years ago, they were.......and they didn't trade Marchand. I'm sure they were happy with their des icon to keep him.
My view on who should be on the block....
Pacioretty
Benn
Plekanec
Morrow
Byron
Niemi
These are the guys I'd try to move who would give me some value
In the sense where they were a non playoff team. They had things missing too.....obviously they did. They made some nice trades and drafted well and turned their fortunes around....HABS can do the same here in 2yrs.I don't think Boston was ever in the situation we are now. We have no centers and no D.
We just traded away our best prospect and have nothing in the cupboard. I don't see how the hell we fix the C and D in two years... no way.In the sense where they were a non playoff team.

That's where the Pacioretty trade comes in.....we have Poehling, on D we have Juulsen, Brook, Fleury, MeteWe just traded away our best prospect and have nothing in the cupboard. I don't see how the hell we fix the C and D in two years... no way.
None of those guys are big impact prospects.That's where the Pacioretty trade comes in.....we have Poehling, on D we have Juulsen, Brook, Fleury, Mete

Big impact as in top 10 projected impact.....well that's why we need two years, this year being the first. And I'm going out on a limb here and will predict they all make it within 3yrsNone of those guys are big impact prospects.
That pool of players is nothing to be excited about. We're basically building from scratch. I don't see how the hell we're suddenly going to be contending in two years the way the Bruins are. That's a pipe dream.Big impact as in top 10 projected impact.....well that's why we need two years, this year being the first.

Like I said also, Pacioretty trade and this years pick will deepen that pool
Well that all depends where we pick and who we get for Patches and who we sign.That pool of players is nothing to be excited about. We're basically building from scratch. I don't see how the hell we're suddenly going to be contending in two years the way the Bruins are. That's a pipe dream.
You can't guarantee this. If we deal away some of the vets it will be worse before it gets better.Well that all depends where we pick and who we get for Patches and who we sign.
It'll be better then what we have now that I guarantee you
dealing wingers where we have an abundance to aquire centres which we have none will not tail spin us into the basement. It's obvious why we aren't scoring, no effin centres to drive the play, and we are missing an elite LHD.You can't guarantee this. If we deal away some of the vets it will be worse before it gets better.

The only guy with real value in this is Pacioretty. The other 4 will bring picks who might make the NHL in 2-3-4 years.Pacioretty

The next two drafts plus a few good deals can fix this pretty quick....not to Tampa level but we'd be a whole lot better.
That's fine. A Pacioretty trade would involve a centre that can come play next season, add Scherbak and Juulsen, plus possibly who we draft this year and Lindgren, that's an injection of 5 players.The only guy with real value in this is Pacioretty. The other 4 will bring picks who might make the NHL in 2-3-4 years.
