edvinsson is a big, young, strong actual defenseman. hughes is a forward playing defense. edvinsson should be able to be re-signed by detroit for long term. hughes is not signing and is likely to leave than to stay. hughes is a great player, but edvinsson's development combined with the uncertainty about re-signing hughes would make me balk at including edvinsson in any deal. i'd rather have edvinsson than zeev buium too.

speaking of yzerman, his free agent signings this year have worked out much better than last year. still pisses me off a bit to see tarasenko scoring in minnesota when he was such a POS here.

i think he'd give up non-first round picks and potentially some depth prospects for a guy like faulk. but i also think other teams will beat that offer and start throwing first round picks out there. yzerman is probably the most secure gm in the league. the owner isnt going to fire him and if he wanted to leave, he's got plenty of cash. he's got little pressure to do something stupid like giving up first rounders. (i say that and watch him deal a first for some depth defenseman...)

i havent watched a super bowl since the lions lost to the niners in the nfc championship game. my friend is a pats fan. he's rich and has a nice house so i might go watch if he has a super bowl party. but i couldnt care less.

1) dont count your chickens 2) they definitely need another defenseman. cant go into big games with asp on the second pair and hamonic on the ice.

rumor for what it would cost for elias petersson for montreal: kapanen, a first rounder, and reinbacher. i dont know if montreal gives that up. theyre more desperate for a second line center than detroit is. if i'm detroit, i dont match that. no way for petersson, not even with a 25% cap retention. the more i listen, the more it seems like any depth defenseman is going to cost a first. including justin faulk. its not yzerman's MO to trade high picks for marginal additions, but maybe this year they do it considering the playoffs are in sight.

take. the. points.

its Kasper with a K. even though he hasnt been scoring, he's not a ghost. 😉

no surprise that kasper starts getting on the scoresheet more when he's back with raymond and larkin for a lot of the time.

Gibson is 17-2 since december started. vezina type work.

I'm more worried about buffalo than montreal.

biff prefers whatever educational establishment is playing michigan.

he's become really annoying. it will be real fun when he goes to the knicks/heat/lakers next season.

vegas puts up 6 on toronto. marner with a quiet night, not on the scoresheet. it was a big game for toronto so leafs fans should have expected that.

Indiana goes into OKC and beats the thunder.
