Just Saying

Mike Cammalleri is still my first choice, and Nik Antropov might be the most sensible (if you can talk him down from his over-the-top demands about the Money), but...injury troubles aside, this shit can't be denied:

Apparently Rutherford is not optimistic about resigning Erik Cole. Now that'd be awesome if could somehow get him.

Mortimer Peacock said...

Rather have Gaborik.

FrenchCatalogues said...

It's the injuries that worry me

Mortimer Peacock said...

Sigh. Look at the man's record. He's only missed a HUGE amount of a season once: last year. Look at his goal-to-game ratio for every season he's ever played.

Erik Cole's non-Hurricanes record gives me more pause than Gaborik's injuries.

FrenchCatalogues said...

It's just that Cole is a power forward. But yes, Gaborik would be cool. We know he is a good player.

Mortimer Peacock said...

Cole is very good, I just...he's not the awesome forward that Cammalleri or Gaborik is. And his power forward qualities never really took hold in Edmonton...which makes me worry that he needs Stormy the Pig to flourish.

FrenchCatalogues said...

But that piggy don't want him

Big Shooter said...

I'd take Cole over Gabby ANY day of the week. Big Shooter has spoken.

FrenchCatalogues said...

If we are planning on signing Kovy, we aren't going to spend a huge amount on someone like Gaborik. That majority of the money should go to Kovy obviously.

Big Shooter is SMOKING.

/fixed.

Mortimer Peacock said...

Smoking indeed.

I don't think it's impossible to have both Kovalchuk and Gaborik. It probably won't happen, but it could. Remember when we had Kovalchuk and that Hossa fellow, simultaneously?

Mortimer Peacock said...

Plus Gaborik will be playing, wherever he signs, for less than he'd be worth on a normal market, what with his Injury-Plagued Career and the current Great Depression.

Big Shooter said...

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH WHEN BILLY MAYS IS TALKING!!!!

Mortimer Peacock said...

ITS THE GHOST OF BILLY MAYS!!!!!! IZZA SCARED!!!

Big Shooter said...

For the record, I like Cole more than Gabby... and I don't have the ability to make decisions with my head.

BEWARE OF THE GHOST OF BILLY MAYS!!!

Guys I would rather have than Erik Cole:

-Mike Cammalleri
-Martin Havlat
-Marian Hossa(I hate him, I miss him. So conflicted)
-Dany Heatley(see above.)
-Marian Gaborik(him + Kovy = me happy)
-Saku Koivu
-Nik Antropov
-Sedin twins
-Phil Kessel
-Jiri Hudler
-Ryan Clowe
-Brad Richards
-Valtteri Flippula
-Simon Gagne
-Daniel Briere
-Scott Hartnell
-Jordan Staal
-Patrick Marleau
-Jonathan Cheechoo
-Mike Comrie(just for Hillary Duff)

I wouldn't be totally pissed if we got Cole, but I'd like the above guys better.

FrenchCatalogues said...

Well yeh I'd like alot of those guys. I'd like Thorton, Iginla, Brown, and Malkin, but we can't always get what we want
