No 2012 in this season, but at least there IS a season now! Finally we can speculate over moves, signings and trades.
I want a forward. Get it done, Lou.
this teams strength will be around its deep defense this season...
This season? For the next five years.
Which is good. I would like a team built strong in the middle and on the blueline.
For better or worse, the only UFA on that entire list I would say it's absolutely vital we not lose is Zajac.This off-season is pretty important for the near future of this organization
Zajac, Clarkson, Elias, Zubrus, Zidlicky all are UFAs
Henrique, Josefson, and Tedenby are RFAs
For better or worse, the only UFA on that entire list I would say it's absolutely vital we not lose is Zajac.
This team absolutely cannot afford to lose Zajac. It's too bad we have to wait until the offseason for Lou to begin negotiations.
Not gonna put much stock in Tedenby this season.
Here is my concern for this season... The fact we have to play Philly, NYR and Pitt so many times. Each and every one of those games is going to be huge.
If our ownership has our house in order, we should be able to retain our forward guys.
Hoping we just play in division 5 times instead of the 7. 7 games against the rags, pens, and flyers is going to be dreadful.
That's why I'm already annoyed the PA is dragging its feet in confirming the CBA. I wouldn't mind 48 games starting in two Saturdays, but the unbalanced schedule is really making me queasy. 5/3 (division/conference games) would be a lot better.
Lou needs to change this dated philosophy of his. I understand if he thinks it's a distraction to do it during the season, but why not the Summer before? I don't put Parise on him at all, but if we lose some of these guys this Summer I'll be pretty iritated with the way Lou's been doing business. Last July 1st was a mess. Marty shouldn't have had to sniff the UFA market, and neither should Patty this year unless he absolutely wants to.
