In This young season his play has been very good. Is he the best we have? If so, could he even crack the roster on the best teams?

I think we have too many Defense men that are from the same mold. Ehroff,Leopold, Sekera, Myers ( plays small) , Brennan. Myers was better when Tallinder had his back it allowed him to rush the puck more. I have zero idea why Ruff plays Leopold and Myers together. They are both Turnover machines that cannot clean out the front of the net for the Goalie. Honestly, I don't see how it is Ruff,Patrick, or Adams's fault that Ehroff is not scoring on the powerplay, all those guys are not on the ice. We reached on Ehroff that is the plame fact. We reached on Leino as well. We now have 4 guys on the roster who do nothing offensive in Scott,Kaletta,McCormick, and Ott. I like Ott but it is time to part ways with Kaletta. One idea is to unload Myers while someone may want him......you cannot teach toughness and will and he will most likely never develop either. he was probably caudled as a boy. I say it is time for Reiger to make a statement and make a trade early. Myers, stafford (another big man that plays small) and Ennis would be the guys I would move. We need another good center maybe one who can win a faceoff. Right now Miller is 31 and his time to win is on the down slope. Imagine Miller witha Defense of 4 Defensive minded guys who had his back in front of him. Most teams have maybe 2 offensive Defensemen onthe roster we have 4-5 a night. Too me that is pond hockey Ruff! Then again, he doesn't assemble this roster by himself. Thank god we have Vanek, Hodson, and Pominville......problem is 2 are free agents at the end of the year!
