THN's Opinion

B*tchany recently posted about UFA's that The Hockey News recommended for the Blue Jackets. I figured I'd take a look to see what they said about the Kings.

Got ‘em: Pittsburgh aside, arguably the best collection of young talent in the game

Need ‘em: veteran infusion at forward and defense, as well as in goal

Potential Free Agent Targets: Sheldon Souray (MTL), Chris Drury (BUF), Curtis Joseph (PHX), Eric Lindros (DAL)


My response to THN's opinion:
Got 'em: Thank you for noticing our fine collection of young boys. Hopefully they'll turn out to become a fine collection of NHL stars.


Need 'em: I agree that we need a veteran presence at forward, defense, and goal.

Need 'em: Yes, Yes, NO!!!, NO!!! I do believe that Souray and Drury would make great additions to our club. But Cujo?! Please, we're already dealing with Cloutier (although I do realize that Cujo would be a slight improvement over Cloots). And Lindros?! He's one more concussion away from retirement. I don't want to go anywhere near that train wreck and I highly doubt that DL would either.

I'm really excited for tomorrow's free agency frenzy. I thought about doing a live blog but realized I have a lot of trouble waking up before noon on the weekends. I'll probably end up doing a late night wrap up of my wonderful thoughts on DL's move(s).

I really hope you don't get Souray..not because I want him but because he needs to change his position to a forward...he is a bad defenseman.

HOLY CRAP! I'm reading the NHL insider section of ESPN the mag and in the bottom corner it stats the following Nelsen Ratings for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup:

House of Payne on TBS: 3.8 million
Delstilando Amor on Uni: 2.8 mil
Game 5: 2.0 million.

Something must be done to fix that...

B: Souray reminds me of Corvo but probably only because both are D that provide a good amount of offense. I think we could use that, but I'd be happy with Hamrlik too.

Craig: you suck. And I care about NHL TV ratings about as much as I care about minor league baseball. (You caught me on a bad day.)
