He hasn't put it up yet but he is capable of it. Antropov through the first quarter was on pace for over 70 points until the entire team went down in flames. It would be really hard for most players to put up a 70 point season when the rest of your team is playing lousy, unless you are a Mats Sundin who has done that for the last decade with Toronto, or other elite players. Antropov is a great player but he's not elite, not a 90 point guy but 65 - 70 in the next year or two seems like it's possible.

At least you aren't as ignorant as that last guy to say that Bouwmeester is worth more than Kaberle right now.

not in this lifetime! antropov 65-70 points in a season! lmao! when in what year? he's a career 50point player! bouwmeester,wouldn't fetch more than kaberle i'll give you that !1. because he's a ufa at seasons end and teams are probably thinking that paying what florida wants is risky because if they don't sign him then you are seriously hurting your future.(i.e pittsburgh with hossa) they gave up too much and they are paying for it now.
2. kabaerle can produce consistantly is signed for more than this season and is a top 10 d-man in the league!

Smyth used to be a better player. If this were 2 years ago or more lafleur10, you would be right. But guess what? It's not.

i don't know about higgins. i'll be honest, i just don't like him. i don't think much of him. it doesn't help that he is mentioned in every habs trade proposal. if gainey is that anxious to get rid of him, you'd think you'd have the sense to realize that your beloved GM knows best. he wouldn't be getting rid of him on route to a Cup if he saw strong potential there.

i don't think Antropov is an underachiever; although he has underachieved at times. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense, but let me explain. Yes, he was a 1st round pick, but he was never meant to be an offensive dynamo. He was meant to be a 2nd line right winger. If he played for Detroit, he would fill much the same roll that Franzen fills. He would score goals quietly, and no one would really notice him. This is what he was meant for. Adding grit, size, and scoring ability. He wasn't meant to be a consistent offensive FORCE capable of dominating other team's top lines. He's a two way forward, and the problem isn't so much that he underachieves as that people don't really understand what he is supposed to achieve.

I don't know what Higgins development track was supposed to look like, but his play tells me he was supposed to be sort of a joffrey lupul like center/winger, alternating between top and 2nd line duties. injuries have certainly hindered him though.

i think the injury thing can be put aside for antropov. he's been good all this year, and although he missed 15 games last season, 3 of them were suspesnsions, and the rest came when the team was far out of the playoffs. i'm pretty sure at that point fletcher was saying "no, no! it's fine! stay home, rest! let us get closer to Stamkos" I say this because he and Sundin did come back for one game in the middle of their injuries, but after a live or die loss, they both took the rest of the season off. convenient, no?

who ever said that antropov would net filatov and a 1st? not me. I suggested once, that Kubina (who i believe is worth a mid-first and a later pick) AND Antropov (who i believe is, on average, worth a mid-1st and a later round pick) could get Filatov, together (that's, in my mind, the equivalent of 4 great-decent picks), if Columbus got desperate enough at the deadline (and only if!). But you of course, could not even read what was written, and saw the words "antropov" and "trade" and immediately started spewing your garbage. do you realize that half of what you type is barely readable?

never, have i ever said that antropov was a franchise player, in the same league as elite superstars you mentioned. i've never said he is any of the things you are saying. the only thing i ever say about him is that he is a big power forward, with lots of skill, who many teams would be willing to part with assets for in the bid for a playoff run. i've also noted, several times, that the best options for antropov would be to teams who are desperate (ie. columbus, phoenix, and now that things are falling to shit, vancouver). this means i am not talking about montreal.

i think you must have as hard of a time reading my comments as I do yours, because you've read things into them that simply don't exist.

even about horton. at no point did i say antropov as a ufa is worth more than horton. i wasn't even really defending the trade proposal, as i've said, i think trading with florida is a dumbass idea. i was only defending the way 24 cups spoke about poni and antropov. he makes poni sound like an ahl'er and claims antropov has no value. even you recognize that antropov does have value. poni has 14 goals and 32 some odd points. these guys are not the value-less turds habs fans make them out to be. the only players on your team with more points are robert lang and andrei markov. and even then, we're talking about a 1 and 2 point difference.

also, lafleur man, you have to realize one of these days, that not every team is the habs! just because the habs wouldn't give something up in a trade, doesn't mean that another team wouldn't. you have to realize that other teams struggle just to pay the bills. look at a team like phoenix. they MUST make the playoffs, BUT, they cannot pick up contracts that take them past the end of the year, and they cannot take on expensive UFA contracts, even if they do end this year. That means, that Antropov is basically one of the number one guys on their radar. Burke knows this. A team like that will have to pay through the nose for him, even if he isn't worth it. Do you see what I'm trying to say at all??

Did you not read what he wrote? He reported on an article from BRUCE GARRIOCH! This wasn't written by one of us Leafs fans. We have been saying that we don't want him.
