Locke!

I guess...I can't recall hearing once positive thing about his speed though and at his size, he'll be executed in the NHL if he doesn't have the speed.

maybe after they sell kovalev, ruutu? chances are we'd probably have to take someone back though.

I think for sure these 3 will 100% be dealt by the trade deadline:
Kovalev
Ruutu
Leclaire

These three....still up in the air:
Campoli
Phillips
Kuba.....bahahaha who am I kidding??

Leclaire dealt by the deadline? If anyone is that desperate they can have Emery for a lot less.

I think this may be Murray and Clouston's chance to show they can win with this lineup. If it doesn't work then changes?

Ruutu also in the line-up tonight.

Fair. Murray needs him to play to get his value back up to trade him.

Yeah, I think you're bang on, I forgot that Ruutu needed to be back in.

Or it's like I said. Murray and Clouston are putting the lineup back together that they started with and will make it or break it with what was originally assembled.

That too, but that works both ways. If the lineup fails, then they'll be sold anyway, might as well get them in there to be 'showcased' a little.

You can use CTL-scroll to make the font larger or smaller. Making it smaller puts more than one post on the screen. Then you read two (or more) of them. You read a single post one-word at a time, so don't tell me you can read a post as an atomic operation.

As of now, I think emery has more question marks about his health than leclaire.....don't forget, leclaire has some decent stats, though not the healthiest, he's pretty low risk for a team in the playoff hunt. and the fact that he had one monster game last season in the playoffs can come in his favor...and say he avoids key injuries and pads his stats some more between now and the deadline....I defi think a team will take a chance on him.

basically nothing to lose. agree or disagree?

Well Mich, he still would cost 1 million + at the deadline, so I'm not sure how many contenders want to blow their load on him. I think you're right, he could be useful, but I doubt we unload him for anything.

Hope against hope I guess.

salary coming back can offset that. Besides I think ppl will balk at the price for a vokoun....goalies trade value is so freakin' low, I think sens unload leclaire for sure.

worst case scenario, he gets waived and picked up. We found a way to unload gerber in his contract year didn't we?

Gerber could survive a few practices, though. Leclaire, not so much.

Sens' lines for tonight:

Michalek-Fisher-Alfredsson
Foligno-Regin-Kovalev
Smith-Kelly-Neil
Ruutu-Winchester-Shannon

Phillips-Karlsson
Campoli-Gonchar
Kuba-Lee

Elliott

Is Carkner banged up or a healthy?
