Dump stop fooling yourself. This team isn't Detroit, they're isn't really much skill. They need to tougher players. Even though guys like Pyatt and Pouliot have size they are soft. 2011-2012 team was good because they controlled games physically and would beat your azz if you started anything. That's why they went 5-1 against the big bad bruins that year.
And that's also why they couldnt make it through the playoffs, they had a bunch of tough guys but couldnt score to save their lives. A Prust-Boyle-Fedotenko third line might out-tough a team but will never outscore a team.
First off dont ever put Boyle and tough in the same post. Its an oxymoron. Boyle was the teams best player before he got cheap shotted by Neil. Him and Feds weren't fighters prodigy..... That's why last year Thornton and Campbell destroyed this team. Not to mention they couldn't handle their cycle... I didn't say put guys like Rosehill or Carkner in the lineup. They should make a trade for Ott and a Matt Martin type player.
I didn't realize you were treating fighting and toughness as the same thing. Not sure it makes your argument any better but as many have said Ott would be a good fit here.
Ott an moulson would bre the combo I'd like to see in a trade to us. Toughness that can play and scoring in one deal. Just have to find the right ingredients back too buffalo
Ott and a guy like Martin. Maybe someone from the cellar dwellers. Of course I'm Including fighter. There's nothin more I'd like to see than someone drop lucic when we play the bruins.
