Not sure... didn't he have the flu?

Wait until he is a UFA. Then you get to keep your prospects. Giving up that much for a rental for a couple of months is a waste.

The Sens will go hard for him. The best he can get is 7 yr term... the money will be the issue. If he wants to play close to his home... it will be Toronto or Ottawa (he has a connection with Carlyle and Bryan Murray) -- the outside would be Mtl or Buffalo..

If he wants to win a Cup -- then it will be some other team. Can the Rangers afford him? What about the Pens, Boston?

Will he want to play in Canada? A lot of Canadian players don't want to.

Pretty interesting lines. Perhaps Smith and Da Costa could/will be switched.

I think the problem is we need scoring *now*, so you overpay a little in prospects (which we have) to get something we need. As for wanting a Cup -- he already has one, and I don't know if the Rangers are necessarily the best bet anyway (Boston and Pittsburgh have done it with their core; the West is very strong, too).

Karlsson-Wiercioch pairing in practice on the 1st PP unit. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Best option. I thought Weircioch handled the 1st PP unit with Karlsson really well yesterday and he's starting to play with a lot of confidence when he has the puck. His play without the puck is a big time worry still but he's getting better. All that you can really ask for. Boroweicki is starting to struggle in that puck moving system. MacLean is a professional and knows exactly what he wants so me saying Weircioch is in deep to find a spot on the blueline for the future, lol, that's why I type my random thoughts on a website. Super impressed with Weircioch, again.

I'd even trade my boy Zibanejad for him. But rather other guys.

I think you gotta try moving Stone first, see if that's good enough. Maybe you trade your first rounder in 2014 for Perry as a lot is still up in the air this year and how it will play out but if a 2013 1st is a must then you make it.

Moving a pick, a blue chip prospect, and a roster player to fill the void for the short future is what it will take.

Sounds like a lot of PP work at practice today. PMac giving a few PP lines a look.

man PMAC was pissed after the game. Of course that's probably as angry as we'll ever see him (staring blankly at the reporters, not answering questions about the refs no-goal call).

I'm sure Murray was taking this up with the NHL today. Absolute disgrace. Same for the goals in the Leafs/Bruins game. Two were called back that probably should not have been. This reffing is a joke across the board. They need to fix it.

I think the idea is to get him to help out now but also give Murray time to work out an extension. No one is suggesting getting Perry as a rental.

Yeah, better be careful you might get whiplash changing your opinion so violently

Karlsson and Benoit were also tried out. I am seeing a trend, though -- no Phillips.

He also had Zibanejad and Silfverberg flanking Babyhead. The baby line? The babies The bambini?
