maybe its better like this... its his fault for not staying in shape tsn better change its report.. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=414558

 

[Kershaw]

Good news.

 

[Tawnos]

Oh great. Daymond Langkow?

Katie Strang @KatieStrangESPN

Well... there goes that. LGR

wow, well that sucks......get in shape Arnott. I imagine if it was because he didnt complete the 40 yard dash in under 3 minutes he will be given another chance to get into shape and beat that time?

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

someone should change the title of the thread

 

[Tawnos]

It may not be that he's out of shape. He is 38 and had knee surgery over the summer. His career might actually be over.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Trade for Subban?

I can't or don't know how to put a smilie from my cell phone. Lol

Stinks cause he scored 17 Goals last yr and if healthy he could be helpful in a bottom 6 role. If he cant pass his physical he really should retire

Langkow does make sense now. I really didnt want them to give up an asset for some help. Rather sign a vet UFA

 

[94now]

Sign Blair Betts, Sather!

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Sign Blair Betts, Sather!

i thought he retired. i say they should sign Radek Dvorak.. he brings speed and would fit here, if he can still play..

 

[Vitto79]

so is there a chance they negotiate this to a 2 way deal at less NHL money if he eventually plays? Arnott goes down to CT for conditioning then they see if he is good enough to contribute still?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Interesting.

 

[RJ8812*]

Sign Blair Betts, Sather!

his career is over

 

[Machinehead]

C'mon I knew he was slow, but gee whiz

 

[Trxjw]

Impossible. I already had him penciled in to replace Boyle.

 

[ecemleafs]

Impossible. I already had him penciled in to replace Boyle.

so did torts. hes been desperate to put boyle on the 4th line since he got here.

 

[NYRSchrute217]

Tough break. I wouldn't be opposed to giving Langkow a look. A little depth never hurts.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Dom Moore?

 

[Machinehead]

I don't know if Dom Moore is in a good state right now or even up to playing hockey.

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

OK lol. So much for that.

Have to think Sather is still looking.

 

[Janerixon]

I don't know if Dom Moore is in a good state right now or even up to playing hockey.

If Dom wants to play hockey he would be my top target now... this team desperately needs depth.

I wonder if they are strictly looking for a center? Sykora put up 20 goals last year, but he is probably not a fit for the bottom 6?

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

But I just ordered an Arnott jersey!

not at all. he is a 2ed liner or nothing... maybe pushes Rupp out of the lineup

 

[Leetch66]

Darryl Boyce . He had good wheels...would skate through the end of the rink if asked and is a center and can kill penalties . I remember a game last year against us and he was the best Leaf on the ice . He is not that old and should sign for the minimum . I don't know what happened with his 25 game tryout with Hamilton ? I guess the Habs are going with youth on the farm and have a lot of it .
