"I think the crease clearing defenseman needed next season is already on the roster—-Marc Staal. With a year under his belt he’s going to be a complete monster next season." Good point - He will also adding more weight to his frame over the next 2-3-4 years. Rob L.

But why cant Jessiman or korpikosky become the next big stud in the nhl they way espn has touted Milan lucic LOL. Milan lucic is a 'you want a piece a me, you want an f'n piece of me' guy with skill.

I played with him when I was really young and he sucked then and he sucks now. Secondly, these Jagr haters are pretty ignorant. Renney has a defensive-minded system, which is why his numbers are down. Whatever. I say Jagr for 2, maybe 3 more years and KEEP HIM ON THE TOP LINE unless his skills start to diminish. If we sign him instead of throwing 8-9 million a year at Hossa for a long term deal, it'll make cap room sense because we have SUCH SICKNESS waiting for us back on the farm. The Russians, Bobby Sang., etc. First off Jessiman is nothing better than a Wolfpack lifer. I played with him when I was really young and he sucked then and he sucks now.

A 20-30 goal scorer isn't a role player to me. The thing is, we need to get the guys to score goals, and ditch the pure role players. HBO: gone. Maybe keep Orr for use in certain games, but I sure would like to see him get better at hockey, and if we could find an enforcer that actually knows how to play, I would dump Orr in a second. I'd like a 4th line of Sjostrom-Korpedo-Callahan. 3rd line of Dawes-Drury-Prucha. Everyone can score, you know what I mean? Pick up Malone and a FA like Prospa/Ryder/Huselius to play with Gomez. Jagr plays with Dubinsky and a FA or Prucha/Dawes in a 2nd line role (putting a prospect/Sjostrom/Cally on the third line). That's why I want Avery to walk. I think he plays a role (agitator) and will never get to 20 goals. He wants too much money just for that. Yeah, it'll help us against the Devils, but really, they have their own problems now and will be fighting for the playoffs next season, so I'm not too concerned. He wants too much money.

The guy is a great two way player and I think he should've received some Selke consideration. That said, the price and timing are all wrong. Marco Sturm would be another player perfect for Renney's system. Too bad we don't have a shot at him. I think if we can score by committee (20-30 goals for multiple plaers) we will be fine, but the thing is, we need guys that can actually score. We have 3, that's right 3, guys in our forwards corps that have had over 20 goals in a season. Can Prucha do it again? maybe. Can Avery or Dawes ever do it? Probably Dawes, but I doubt Avery. Dubinsky will for sure as he gets stronger. Callahan? Probably not. HBO will be lucky to score 20 combined over their careers. If we can get two guys to chip in 25 a pop, I'd prefer that over one guy who can get 40. I'd rather roll three good scoring lines (emphasis on the word scoring, distinguishing them from this year) than one real-deal top line. Hossa is actually a perfect player for Renney’s system.

I can see it. Warm weather, hype scene, and the money he wants. I can totally see it. I think he'd regret that pretty quickly...although vinny and marty seem pretty content down there despite being megastars on a losing team..must be something good about tampa Hey, Tampa sounded weird to me too, but I have absolutely no reason to question or doubt the source of my information.

The guy spent the 1st 1/2 of the year sulking b/c he didn't have #92 anymore. Then it was too late to get anything going. Then when it did, it was the "I was saving it" story. Personally, I'm just done with it. If you can't committ and say yes or no, then where's the heart? At least we all know shanny would LOVE to play 1 more year in NY. Just not sure if his body has it anymore. “obviously he thinks that Renney’s system is part of the reason for his lack of production”
