If the team is a contender this year, they could be buyers as well. Hopefully a good reason to get more talent on board and for more than just one year. |

Is this the top six forward Snow has been talking about all summer? Seriously, welcome back Doug Weight. |

I remember when he was younger, he could set up goals and even go top shelf. Now he's medically cleared to reach for the top shelf. Hope he's 100% and can contribute 10-15 goals and 20-35 assists but even that seems like a stretch. I'd be very grateful to get that. Last year he played through an injury. Very courageous and while I admire him for his mentoring of our younger players, he needs some help on the ice IMO but we shall see. May good health be in his future, we'll need that. |

That would upset the space/time continuum and cause a conundrum so epic, a calamity the like the universe has not seen since its inception, that all matter would negate and all energy transform into one solatary dynamic super-particle that would store all existence within one nano-spaced entity, and then it would all pop back into shape, all being restored and Rick would still have fabulous hair. I might be for it.

Sorry, buy Weights comments sound to me like someone who is just milking an organization for another $850k. I didn't hear "I'll lead by example; I'll prove the naysayers wrong; I'll help develop a winning attitude here; losing is not an option". I heard "Garth was here, I was trout fishing in Idaho so we didn't talk for three months; no biggie, Garth and I decided a long time ago that I would get any scraps left and help bring us to the cap FLOOR. Don't expect too much, I'm hurt and afraid to get hit, you know. And I'll probably miss a lot of games with soreness and old age. Hey, I'm almost 50 so what do you want from me?" Geesh, we continue to validate everybody that says we're a joke. That's because we are. This is an easy out for both Garth and Dougie. Anybody want to bet me on an over under? I bet he doesn't play 40 games. Over anyone? |

I keep saying this. If you want to do the youth movement, go all in. Name Okposo Captain. Blackhawks: Toews Penguins: Cindy Keeping Weight is a contradiction of the youth movement. |

Blackhawks got Hossa, Madden, Campbell, Ladd.....vets who helped the kids grow. Pittsburg got Guerin (Crosby cited importance), Whitney, Gonchar and a list when they first started the rebuild. They BOTH got capable vets to guide young players in their rebuilds and did not stack the ice with a Mickey Mouse Club where the only adult was a coach/teacher monitoring the playground. Okposo needs a captain to learn how to captain. And I always prefer Detroit's youth movements....they never suck when going through one because they keep the top vets to show the top rookies the ropes. They wouldn't dress half our key prospects until they were MORE THAN ready. |
