still bitter, here. I seem to remember that injury was not in a game, either. I was always suspicious of how/if it happened, and Backstrom went from being one of my favorite players to not.
They say backup QB in the NFL is the best job in the world. I think Backstrom proved it was actually the backup to the backup goaltender in the NHL that's even better that year.

I think Backstrom learned from Harding. The whole punching the wall incident and how they handled his MS was really bad.

Russo still won't talk about it, but I got to wonder WTF was really going on? They should have bought out Harding with their cap compliance.
Not really worth getting that deep into what could've should've discussion. We just moved Sturm for Jost... what do you think is coming next?

Do we have any more pending UFA? I got to wonder if Guerin is willing to move someone like Benn - if he can move Benn for anything I'd say he's GM of the year.

I kinda feel like he packages McBain and one of the defensemen for a defensive upgrade with term (but cheap)

Who’s the one player that is rumored to be available that helps this team the most?

It’s no longer a clear case of needing a scoring C IMO. Another quality D or a consistent G would be a huge addition. We can’t defend at all right now.

Just strictly from a "who would help us most" perspective, probably Hampus Lindholm or MAF.

Our defense isn't as bad as our goaltending makes it look.

Our goalies currently aren't even making all the saves they should, let alone failing to even stop one or two they aren't expected to.

It’s Chiarot who I think they’re after. And if Guerin gives up anything more than flipping McBain for him that will pretty much wrap of my view of what I hope is his short lived tenure here.

Don't have to worry about that now. Calgary paid through the nose for that lumbering fool. I wonder if ARI will keep Chychrun past the TDL?
