If you're rolling three lines of equal talent, then you can play Handzus on the 4th line and use him in specific situations. There's no need to roll that 4th line very often.

Look, JT could open a bakery with playing turnover hockey like he is currently doing. Or, he could do a Santa Claus gig with all the gifts he gives to the other team. That is how he is playing now. Boyle is on a par with Matt Carle at his current level. It could be injuries, but it does not speak well to their aging well.

As of the Detroit game, Marleau/Couture was the #1 line, Pavs/Clowe was the #2. JT was #3. JT and Boyle are the critical factors on the PP and since just after the outset of the season, it is a bottomfeeder PP. That doesn't speak well to either of them as PP success is notoriously dependent on the play of the QBs no matter which team.

If they turn it around, they are critical, but even in the recent resurgence, their A game has been blatantly absent. I would put the recent resurgence on Pavs, Wingels and Couture and speaks well as to how the Sharks would compete with the complete absence of JT and Boyle.

Post one of your studies. You've espoused you've done at least 20 or 30 and I've yet to see one. I've posted several rebutting your assertions. You should be able to post at least one, two, three?

Every time you are asked for one you say you did them years ago and lost your data and are not going to do it again. Well, at this point you might want to do another because even if they existed they are out of date now.

In this diatribe you've posted I might give it some respect if you posted the same about Marleau every time he falls off a cliff. Sadly I've never seen it. Supposedly because he's always doing other things.

I've just learned to ignore any Thornton vs. Marleau debate. No one can be objective in regards to those two.

Marleau has to do other things to earn his 6.9 mil contract during his "not being inconsistent times" of 4 points in 17 games. Not every one can be so crappy like thornton to put up point per game paces even when supposedly playing the worst hockey of his career.

Well of course. How can one be objective when comparing Thornton to Marleau? That's like comparing an F-22 Raptor (Thornton) to a few wilted blades of grass (Marleau) on the destructive capability scale.

The important question to ask is whether this team has what it takes to make a legitimate run. Making it is one thing. Doing something when you get there is another. This team can't get the job done on the road. We've beaten Anaheim and St. Louis on the road this year that is a playoff team. They're going to have a mountain to climb to beat Chicago in a 7 game series. I don't think this team is good enough in terms of the depth to get past the second round even with the three line split that gives them their best shot.

If we keep Burns up front, we're relying on Demers, Braun, and Irwin as half of our D for this run and that's a lot of inexperience and concern when it comes to playoff style hockey. I'm not worried so much about Demers as I am Braun and Irwin.

Doesn't matter.

Make the playoffs see what happens. Not expecting anything so whatever they do is only a plus.

So, if it's Clowe for a pick/prospect - why are the Sharks scouting Bruins, Montreal, etc. - wouldn't they be scouting their affiliate teams?

If clowe is traded, a prospect like koko or what ever will be coming back. A young forward that is currently in the nhl.
