Good energy line would be Boll-Gratton-Dorsett. That way we also get some back-end faceoff wins too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-38080204950935646252009-02-21T22:05:00.000-05:002009-02-21T22:05:00.000-05:00No question that Gratton is past his prime, but he...No question that Gratton is past his prime, but he has a mean streak that we'll need in the playoffs. I have just as much a chance to score from my couch as Novotny does on the ice -- so I think you're dead on with the theory that he'll take time from Novotny. I think this is a low-risk move that could really pay dividends in March/April.Stick on the Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388714170096111164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-46639355210386267232009-02-21T16:32:00.000-05:002009-02-21T16:32:00.000-05:00Depth and grit at a bargain price, classic Howsen....Depth and grit at a bargain price, classic Howsen. Sounds great just hope it doesn't turn into a Dick Tarnstrom, time will tell. Center has certainly been a depth problem for the organization so it can't hurt. Now if we can just find a little skill doesn't have to be a blockbuster.roadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428186765576335903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-23660005785927239812009-02-21T15:31:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:31:00.000-05:00(Howson) Dude gots skillz - another under-the-rada...(Howson) Dude gots skillz - another under-the-radar move (see Jay Will and Jan Hejda).
