I think Reinhart is a player that can adjust to the speed right away. If he can stick I would keep expectations modest though. I would only keep him up only if I could expect a 30 to 40 point season.

Murray added the perfect player to make sure the room is being run the right way, even without wearing a letter. We will never see 80% of the stuff Gionta will do.

Pysyk and Risto are the most likely.

I'm with you and GoDD on this one. I've always liked Rupp's game. McCormick is a useful guy to have around though.

You are right. The Red Wings really didn't get the love.

What the hell is happening in Washington? It is foolishness or genius. My magic 8-Ball is throwing back OUTLOOK NO SO GOOD.

I have to say that the Gorges trade is the one I'm most excited about. He plays the game the right way. I'm really scratching my head as to why Marc Bergavin would trade him for a 2nd. He averaged 21 minutes a game last year. Heck he averaged 23 minutes a game for the playoffs. Solid 2nd pairing guy. Enjoying the Gazette's pieces on this in Montreal. Mixed emotions as Gorges heads to Buffalo http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/montreal-canadiens/Mixed+emotions+Gorges+heads+Buffalo/9991088/story.html Gorges stunned by Habs’ desire to trade him, now waiting for next move http://www.hockeyinsideout.com/news/gorges-stunned-by-habs-desire-to-trade-him-now-waiting-for-next-move The only thing that really makes sense with this is that Bergavin has to clear money to pay PK Subban.

:cry:

Yessiree.

There are only a few of us that might think this is funny.....I give you Real Cloutier.

I think the organization will ask a lot of Deslaurier - shut down role, PK, piss and vinegar. I think he's going to get plenty of games in this coming year

GMTM's wrinkled chinos tell me you might be right. He is either a savant, or a shlub. Maybe both.

I like the risk reward here.

I don't think these are unreasonable concerns, but if he doesn't fit in 4 years, I have full confidence GMTM can get creative.

Hopefiully the Isles.

In the best Darcy mumble. Relax. We will still stink. But today is a little more hopeful.

There we go!

Ok. You're assuming Ruff is still there in 3 years. I like that they have Spezza and Seguin in the 1 and two hole this year. The West is still tough though.

How can we clone you? Thanks.

moulson isn't weak on the puck. He's not going to beat you up, but consistently goes to the scoring areas. Not bad for a guy that can pot 25.

That's funny.

Not worried. We could have an 80 million cap in 5 years and an owner not afraid to buy out players. NMCs get waived all the time.

Today? Is he getting moved?

In 5 years that might be just chump change over league avg.

One or two-way?
