Excellent list...
Beside the players who a...LTL,<br /><br />Excellent list... <br /><br />Beside the players who are too old, too expensive or both.. I really like...<br /><br />Seidenberg, Leopold, Bergeron, Morris, Oduya, Zidlicky<br /><br />And I would like to add this RFA - James Wisniewski (ducks)... he was excellent in the playoffs... and worked well on the Duck PP... <br /><br />I would consider 2 players PP specialists: Zidlicky and Bergeron... (and they should be on the top of the list... put Tyutin on that line as the last man back and we can create some serious havoc !!!) My reasoning is that, yes they are high risk/high reward players... but we have Tyutin, Hedja, Commodore, Method and Klesla to balance that out... <br /><br />Seidenberg and Leopold: Very similar players.. .I feel they would be solid Defensive additions I am not confident about them being able to improve our PP... very well rounded and very safe choices.. (sounds like a Howsen move) (remember both Leopold and Seidenberg have been on the untapped offensive list for many years now.. I really don't think it's going to happen.. )<br /><br />Morris, reminds me a lot of Green in Washington... little bit of a loose canon... but under Hitch's system and with Hitch controlling him we could tap his offensive potential.. .I think he has a good chunk of it... but he's definitely a risk choice.. .PLUS he has lost a lot of credibility in last years trade fiasco .. which should hurt his salary.. I like Morris but I think this would probably be too much of a risk for Howsen...<br /><br />Oduya, I only saw a couple of times in the playoffs against Carolina.. and he didn't stand out to me.. just don't know enough about it... he looked OK..eplaggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546755501285760023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-18184610467297205762009-05-28T17:45:23.052-04:002009-05-28T17:45:23.052-04:00"...He's been passed around the NHL like Elisha Cu..."...He's been passed around the NHL like Elisha Cuthbert..."<br /><br />Nice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11085948006193772923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-13321297175013819962009-05-28T09:15:37.772-04:002009-05-28T09:15:37.772-04:00I have always liked Zidlicky.

I am with you LTL on the concerns about the +/- but I am willing to put up with those concerns to have someone that can blister the puck from the point. I am also a fan of Gilbert, but again as you said, I think the cost of a return player would be way to high for what you would get. <br /><br />Realistically I am with you on the names you have thrown out, but of those names I think Morris stands out as someone who was a big name about 3-4 years ago, got stuck in Phoenix and Florida and under the right circumstances could really bring something to the table on both ends of the ice.....sands the Nash play from a couple years back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
