Rob Blake sucks. I don't believe for a second that he's as loyal as Mats Sundin. If he was serious about helping the team, he would have gotten

Rob Blake sucks. I don't believe for a second that he's as loyal as Mats Sundin. If he was serious about helping the team, he would have gotten as a 1st and a prospect, then resigned next season for 2.5M. As it stands now, I don't even want him back.


I thought it was cute that Stuart was traded for the exact same thing as Sopel. May be we can coin the "Brent Sopel special," a 2nd and a 4th for an impending UFA 5th/6th Dman.


I love Frolov's development. Pts/gm:
02-03: 0.39
03-04: 0.62
05-06: 0.78
06-07: 0.87
07-08: 1.02

And he still has a year or two before he hits his prime. And given how much time he plays, the -1 is pretty amazing.


I don't get people saying we shouldn't or we aren't going to draft Stamkos because we have enough offense. If we skip Stamkos for Doughty, couldn't the exact same argument be made? We have enough 6'-and-under offensive defensemen. If we draft based on need, we should package our picks and draft Schenn and Pietrangelo.

If the NHL were smart, they would let Tavares enter in the 08 draft for the 2nd biggest market in America to draft him.

The deal wasn't there because he handcuffed the franchise as to what teams he would go to. If there could have been a bidding war, even a small one, the price should have been there. Blake limited the options so we will never know.

I agree with the Blake not being as loyal as Sundin. If he never would of left then it would be a different story. And with drafting Stamkos or Doughty as long as we win a cup or in the long run I will be happy.

Adam Foote is a comparable. What did Columbus get for him? A first and a prospect for Blake is asking too much when the market is set at a conditional first.
