Dear god no, please no. haha. I love Shanny but we're trying to get faster, not as slow as a tortoise. And guys, not all FAs will be signed immediately. Or people being traded either. We have plenty of time to make a deal (until September). So relax if Sather doesn't do anything yet. “With jagr and Sundin “deciding” there future, Sather better give Shanny a call and tell him to come back.”

Rodent often talks about goals per minutes on ice, Even with a fourth line role he is a gifted finisher based on this stat. You may not like him - that is your prerogative... Rmant –

Yes he had a good season or two but that really doesn't mean anything going forward does it? He has had plenty of opportunities to play himself into the lineup and hasn't been able to get it done. Plain and simple. Yes, he plays hard. However he is completely one dimensional. He's not good defensively, those big hits he takes leave him behind the play. If he's not scoring, he's of little value and he been proving it in spades over the season he can't score at even strength. Would I hate to see him traded and score 20 goals, absolutely. Right now I can't see how he can turn it around in NY. Prucha, at this stage, is nowhere. Yes he had a good season or two but that really doesn’t mean anything going forward does it?

With Jags with out Jags with a star winger or with out. The only way to tell is, let the seasan progress and see how we look. Who knows we just may be able to put a couple of lines that gel and kick some butt. And I am not so sure we shoould be counting Jags out yet. And a still am on the fence don't care either way. But I do think Sather has done pretty good for us so far. And I haven't even swore at him YET. Happy 4th folks.

That guy probably has a Prucha jersey and doesn't want to get rid of it and buy a new jersey with all this crazy gas pricing. Donsausage-Well said.

I've missed the redden signing and the Z trade by a few minutes. Get ready everyone! it’s only bad news if you’re a fruit loop.
