Since Wilson is shaking up the lineups and has finally decided to split lupul and kessel apart. than if we trade for bobby ryan, maybe our lineups could look like this:

Ryan - Bozak - Kessel
Kulemin - Grabovski - Lupul

Next season I would put Colborne on the top line and Bozak either lose him or put him on the third line. Even if we get Getzlaf were not going to win the cup this year, so I don't understand why Burke would want to give up a big part of our future for him. It will cost less to get Ryan and just have him and Kessel on the wings and wait one more year for Colborne at a very cheap pirce because he is already in the system.

Ryan-Colborne-Kessel have the potential to do some damage, maybe not as much damage as Lupul-Getzlaf-Kessel, but for the price I would rather go after Ryan.

Gleason comes in. Who is shipped out? Ideally I would like Komisareak but someone on the D line would need to be shipped out.

I would also love this if we acquired Statsny, Ruttuu (Misspelled name me thinks.) and Gleason Would make us tougher. (Change Statsny to Getzlaf and our toughness problem is a thing of the past.

Gleason's skill level is very underrated.

Lest we forget that play in game 7 vs NJ.

Getting all three would be sweet.

First line center, top 6 winger with size and grit, and a mean dman with playoff experience? Sure I'm down.

I think Stansty would be a great pick up and love Ruutu….he plays hard man….you know who I would love though is Tim freakin Gleason, he is a beast and can go with the big boys…….read Bruins in check….plus he is a very smart player.

Picking up up the guy in front of the net alone is the system I would love to see them play, right up there with the only one dman per side of the crease chasing the puck at a time system lol…..I don't like wilson obviously, and he is a good coach, i just don't think it is for this team. But you do have some good points as well.

The even spent a good chunk of practice, practicing skate placement when in shooting lanes to minimize deflections towards the nets and more towards safe areas. That's getting awful nit picky.
