    He's actually a good info source on July 1st. Not the end of the world, though he is now helping a direct rival. I still think Tlusty or a trade is possible.

    He's just what WSH needs... I was on the fence with him... Seems like he would come here and lose that Mr. GAME 7 moniker

    For 2/6.5 there is not much risk. He is also a 15-20 goals reg season guy. Great signing by Wash

    Yeah, but the issue with the last part of your comment strud is you were just being negative. There is nothing fact based about what you are saying. SURE he could have come here and stunk, you can say that about any player, but who knows. And on a 2 year deal...come on. And he went to a rival, who is now better than us. And who do we add now considering we are clearly short upfront?

    Is what it is. If the plan is to have these forwards and think Hank and this "great D" will carry us I think we are in for a very rude awakening.

    We talk about all the potential positive IF'S, but what IF Nash doesn't score 42 again? What IF Brassard isn't as good next season? What IF we have injuries in the regular season as we didn't have this past season? A lot of if's the other way as well. Too many if's to feel good right now. And Miller/Etem/Fast all in the top 9 isn't good enough.

    Tlusty doesn't excite me. 15 goal guy, usually misses a handful of games, L shot, sort of a one demensional player. Not excited.

    Don't get me wrong, if it is him or nothing I guess I'd take him, but not excited about him adding something big here.

    Thing is Chuck he didn't sign with us. I see what u mean and yes I am taking a glass half empty view.

    i sure hope he isn't Mr. game 7, especially against us

    He didn't sign with us...is what it is...we move on.

    Not about one player...we just need to add some top 6 winger IMO.

    Taking a shot on Semin at 2 mill or less isn't an awful idea now. Maybe he will be motivated after being cut and not getting a lot of interest. On paper he does fit what we need, R shot winger who clearly can help on the PP.

    Doubtful we look at him though, doesn't seem like the kind of guy we'd add to this mix.

    Incredible how dense people are. This team HAS NO CAP ROOM! GET A CLUE! You think they might have 2 million to spend. NO THEY DON'T. THEY NEED IT NEXT YEAR TO SIGN HAYES AND KREIDER. What freakin part of that do people not understand here.

    They actually do dump. And they actually can move a dman, and will IMO, to get some cap space to add the forward we need. But you do you and write in caps and call everyone stupid...LOL.

    I can't see it. We have too many dmen locked up long term to add Shatt as well. We need to focus on forwards not dmen. The only possible way would be if Yandle and Klein both go, but even then to have 3 dmen locked up for bigger money long term is tough, and that doesn't even factor in McD as the 4th guy.

    To me the Staal deal is the one that will hurt us most. People say Girardi, but I disagree. He is a R shot, he got less money per, and he plays on the top pair. Staal is the deal we shouldn't have signed IMO.

    When you read an article like that it again goes to my point, the cap is simply too low and too many teams have to scramble to try and keep a few players they want. Going to hurt the league over time IMO.

    It's amazing that Chuck still doesn't realize I have him on ignore. Mind boggling.

    if you have him on ignore how do you know hes responding to you. And for the record you need to take it easy with your self aggrandizing view of yourself and your "predictions" having an opinion is one thing, thinking that opinion is fact and calling everyone else a moron or an idiot etc is childish....but then again so is blocking some on a message board cause they can debate against your opinion of trades, free agency moves, line changes and all around hockey knowledge.

    Hows Immonen doing btw, and Lucic for Yandle.

    The only possible scenario I can see is as follows.

    Yandle goes to St. Louis. Gives them a lefty to go with righty Pietrangelo on the PP. Shattenkirk is a righty. He comes here. Probably going to have to give up a prospect with Yandle. Perhaps one of the goalies. Halverson or Shestyorkin.

    Then, that totally frees the Rangers up to deal Klein. That blocks McIlrath though unless you put Boyle in the stands. Shattenkirk is a UFA after next season. He'll obviously command huge money.

    It's not hard SaveLundy. When I'm the only one here, I post, then he posts right after. You're as big of a moron as he is Lundy. You bring crap up from 10 years ago. That's what a 2 year old does. Welcome to ignore trailer park trash.
