Is it Time to Bring Back Anton Volchenkov

[esdoorn]

....the team could use someone stead in the back end that can block shots! Volchenkov might be what the doctor ordered!

Not sure if serious

 

[Qward]

I would rather Zybnek Michalek.

I suppose you mean a defense dman. I think we're better served with a puck mover in the top 4 than a top 4 defense dman. We need to get the puck out of the zone and Cowen could focus on defense.

 

[starling]

Only if New Jersey buys him out.

 

[Super Cake]

Um no. Devils fans have been using him as a whipping boy for the last couple of years. They want him out. So no thanks to volchenkov.

 

[MainDotC]

No !

 

[melnyk budget*]

People were saying he was washed up his UFA year.

Do NOT want to touch that contract.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

If there is one thing I've learned it's that just because a HFboards team forum can't stop trashing a player doesn't necessarily mean he is a dumpster fire.

 

[Laoghaire]

We are giving up shots because we don't have the puck enough. Volchenkov will not fix that.

 

[DG]

Things really are getting dyer around here.

 

[Patvolcom65]

I use to love Volch..But I don't see how us bringing him back will help us move the puck out of our zone If anything it will just make us worse.

 

[CanadianHockey]

No. Volchenkov is overpaid for what he brings, even if you take into consideration that he's been mishandled in New Jersey. Besides, breakouts were hardly his forte, and that's an area we've been struggling with.

 

[God Says No]

NO!!

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Ya why not bring in more defencemen who treat the puck like a ticking time bomb?

 

[burf]

Our problem isn't blocking shots, it's being stuck in our own end so long because we're incapable of executing zone exits correctly. 2 years ago this team was amazing at quick short passing plays out of the zone. This year we have Phillips, Cowen, Gryba, and Corvo all losing the puck to a forecheck or just rimming it up the boards for a turnover every time they touch the puck in the D-zone.

Exactly. Watching anyone but Karlsson, Methot, and to a lesser extent Weircioch try to start a breakout is beyond painful. I honestly can't believe the decisions Cowen/Gryba/Phillips make while I watch the games, it baffles me.

The Bear was my favorite Senator. I would love to have him back.

 

[Senscore]

We need to go forwards not backwards.



And always twirling, twirling towards freedom.

 

[Apaharn]

Great idea!

Let's bring Craig Hartsburg back while at it!

 

[Qward]

Great idea!

Let's bring Craig Hartsburg back while at it!

can he fix out PP?

 

[jeffsens11]

Loved Anton, he would literally block shots with his face if it could help us win the game. But dont think he would be the answer to our problems as others said

 

[Xspyrit]

I could make a ton of threads too...
