Petry, Glencross, I wonder who we're scouting from that Nuks vs Bruins game.

We keep seeing evidence that we actually are in the market for a F, even though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
im pretty sure the TKO line is safe
Michalek reportedly has a concussion, so he's out.
If the reported interest--despite public statements of contentment up front--is genuine, maybe it has something to do with having to settle for a low-rent vet like Morrow whose NHL career appears to be sputtering towards its conclusion (perhaps as soon as this off-season)?
But let's go ahead and assume the current interest is unrelated to losing out on Iginla this past summer: adding a forward would make sense if Yzerman was actually considering moving a roster player up front in a deal for a defenseman.
Just a gut feeling here but I'm betting Michalek will be a Bolt come this weekend - concussion and all. It'll only be a 3rd and a mid-level prospect that I think SFY will take a chance expecting him coming back in the next few weeks. At this point it's low cost and low risk something the Lightning seem to be looking for. Much like the Brewer trade.
I love slater you know this but imho GORMLEY is better. I have gormley above all of them 2008 on. Hes gonna be solid all the way around and put up 40 and yes hes a lefty todd. But we add gormley carle is officially obsolete which I can live with.
Is a cheap cup run we wind up with the best player in gormley a steal and lose a first rounder and maybe another but the other would be contingent on us winning a cup or signing michalek or vermette long term. Which is possible but highly unlikely.
I think gormley is the goods. I have slater in top 10 of guys 2008 on but gormley is in my top 3. I get we have hedman and stralman but as we saw this year can never have too many stud defenders on elc
So if can make a move lose a first or even two and a small piece and get these three guys I do it all day. I dont see the logic of not doing it. This would help us offensively and defensively and we are upgrading all of our bad positions at least a little and maybe becoming set for the next 12 years on the left side entirely.
I love slater but have always wanted the fourth guy ive said this time and again. Gormley I think is a flat out stud.
P.S. am gambler at heart as some know
GO BIG OR GO HOME
Wiz is an effing dumpster fire on D. It's quite noticeable. Yandle is as good, or better, offensively and not quite as terrible on D. If we're going big, we might as well go for the biggest.
For like the millionth time - handedness matters.
I agree, but it's not like we have a better option. Any benefit of getting Wiz (RH) disappear because of just how bad he is on D. If you can find an equal RHD that we can maybe get, please let us know because I can't think of any that's feasible right now.
