don't go there. Obama has done more to improve the environmental issues of the the states in one year in office then all the republicans had done for not only the environment but the economy in 8 years. who do you think has been behind this new downfall of the american way of life? who was in power for 8 years? they don't need more tax cuts to buy new toys they need to end the spending on useless wars and build social programs to support their own population in times of crisis. again with the reactionary BS. you might have read Bush's autobiography but you missed everything unwritten between the lines. Obama is the Brien murray of american politics. Bush is the muckler of AP. can you wrap your head around that one now? he inherited a whole pile of crap and was left with very little to work with. people expect results ina couple of years? i say give him 8 and see the improvements he brings to the american way of life. worse now he's completely blocked by a republican controlled senate. American democracy is a joke. Obama is a shinning light in a sea of garbage. And I HATE POLITICS AND THINK ANY DEMOCRACY OR STATE CONTROLLED POLITICAL SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY Cussed FROM THE GET GO.

sorry about that folks but i'm amazed on how short sighted americans can be about their political system let alone having it regurgitated by fellow Canadians. please ignore my comments if you don't agree, I don't feel like started a debate but if i see something like this It's my civil duty to state my opinions. freedom of speech right? just watch what you say....

While there is no doubt that the Iraq war burdened the American economy with MASSIVE debt, Obama has done equal if not more damage by non stop quantitative easing and corporate buyouts. Obama talks the talk about Main street rather than Wall street, but truth be told, he has been bought and paid for just like Bush and all the reps of both Houses. BUSH=OBAMA=PUPPET

Sorry SD, I agree with Neely. We've got Rundblad

Rundblad's done nothing yet. How can ppl say 'oh we got enough depth so we can trade karlsson' and then make the same argument that karlsson hasn't proven anything so its okay to trade him? IMO you trade the others before you trade a key roster player

stempniaksen wrote:For everyone saying they would trade Karlsson because we have Rundblad in the system need to give their head a bit of a shake, imo. This guy has yet to play a professional game in North America so we have no way of knowing what we really have on our hands until we see that. We have quite possibly the best offensive defenceman in the entire NHL (in 2 years) and people are willing to throw him into a deal for a winger (the least important position in the hierarchy).

As talented as Parise is I can barely get on board with straight up (and obviously NJ would never do that) so adding something significant on our end would be an awful decision imo.

Karlsson on D > Parise on F.

Trading Karlsson for Parise leaves us finding a new Karlsson. We have a betetr shot at drafting or signing a 30 goal, 60 pt player.

I don't get it.

NEELY wrote:People obviously don't realize how good Parise is. That's a guy who was considered a top 10 player in the league last year and probably still is.

People need to get a grip, I love Karlsson as much as anyone and it would take a very special player to even get someone to consider trading Karlsson... Parise is a franchise, elite, number 1 winger, type of player.

Alfi didn't even play in the league until he was 23, 24 and The Sens got 15 years out of him. Parise is more than Alfi was at his age by a mile.

The only people who would make that deal are die hards that have a love fest that can only be considered unhealthy for their players.
