Bobby Butler: AHL All-Star MVP!

well he's already on the 4th line right? you don't wanna overwhelm the guy....besides a line of greening-winch-Regin is kinda tantalizing. Regardless of the ice-time, i think greening will show us enough over the next two games

I would overwhelm him right off the bat. He's 6'3", 219, and he's amped for tonight. I'd tell him to go out there and play his game, drive the net with Kelly and Alfredsson and create havoc for the Devils' D.

That's the thing. We keep getting tantalized with possibilities and potential and flashes of what might be and always stick with the comfortable old shoe in the end.

Yeah, what's there to lose? There are gaping black holes on our wings in the top six, might as well plunk Greening up there with Kelly and Alfredsson - or Fisher and Michalek - or whatever the heck you have to do to generate some offence and excitement.

I agree, it's the same old, same old, but this time there's really no old shoe to go back to, this team is a car wreck, might as well start to clean up the broken metal and glass from the street.

Wasn't there a report that the sens are gonna be battling some injuries? maybe he gets that shot. Mandate from management also is to now give the youngn's a chance so maybe clouston doesn't fight it too mucH?

Sounds like one injury might be Winchester, but I guess we'll see.

Does he win anything, or just bragging rights and a trophy?

An autographed poster of Phil Kessel leaning up against the "last man picked" car?

Haha. That's the reason that I was asking. I don't want Kessel to get a car and BB not get something.

Can we call him up now please?

I'm for it.

Maybe they should sign him.

Holy Dung. I didn't realize that he's RFA after this year. Ya. Any guesses on the value of a contract for someone like BB? Roughly equal to the value of Regin's contract? How many years do we need to sign him so that he's still RFA when the contract is complete? I don't know how that works.

It has to do with number of gamed played and/or age entered the league. I remember finding it out when Regin was being re-signed.
