Frozen Failure
They got business in my hockey, and I hate it.
And then prices for centers go up because demand goes up because we know what the market will bear!
Awesome.
Awesome.

I'm not worried about that. Anyone who watched this team play knows those are obvious deficiencies. Him stating it won't change the market.
Too bad we missed out on Brassard. He's looking like a revelation right now with NY. Though I'm not sure if we had the piece Kekäläinen would have been looking for.

About damn time. The Benn experiment lasted way too long and might have even hurt a bit of his development.
I agree Troy, it is refreshing to hear a GM speaking specifically about what he wants to see change. It gives me confidence that he has a very clear vision as to what he wants this team's identity to be, and how to get there. From a fan's perspective this gives me a lot more hope for the future than ambiguous goals like "being hard to play against."
I'm also stoked to hear that Jamie will likely be moving back to wing where I think he'll have a better chance to become the superstar we all want him to be, as well as getting bigger on the back end (hopefully amongst the forward group as well) - I miss the days when Zubie was our "small" guy.

And as a small guy, he was such a brilliant skater that he was able to keep himself in the right spot with relative ease. He was also able to clear the crease as effectively as a guy 40 pounds heavier thanks to his cigarette and vodka breath.

It has sailed, hit an iceberg, then was torpedoed by the ghost of a U-boat, then attacked by a giant squid, then sunk in the Bermuda Triangle.

This is all great news, especially the bolded part. Nieuwendyk had about three different philosophies he chased during his time here.

He brings all of the hope of Lessard with one minor difference... Chiasson actually scores at the NHL level. That's what makes him different from the many, many guys who came before him like Sim, Conner, Vincour, etc.
sorry, that was merely a pun in reference to the "jesus lessard" comments from a ways back. as in, chiasson is the stars' saviour.
a stretch, i know.

what are the chances we get abdelkader? I see him as another eakin. I wouldn't mind that truly.
He's signed for 4 more years at 1.8 mil, playing on their top line. Why would they trade him?
No need to apologize! Here's a useful tool for looking at impending UFAs:

What? He clearly only had one philosophy. The drafting, signings, and trades all clearly painted one picture. Well except for maybe the trades at this years deadline.
Lessard had a goal in each game he played in Dallas.

He first wanted a team that played up-tempo hockey with the admission that some defense would be sacrificed in order to score more goals. He then changed directions and said he wanted more two-way hockey players and a coach that would be employ a system that would be accountable defensively, which would lead to offense.
He clearly had more than one philosophy.
there is a difference between drafting players that fit your philosophy and tactically adjusting to the talent available
