The biggest problem with Allison is that he won't accept a role as a third liner/PP specialist. He'll wine about not getting enough ice time and he won't sign anywhere he can't be guaranteed to be a top 2 centre. But yeah, in one way you're right, Philly doesn't need another big slow guy, but they could use a boost and they couldn't be any worse with Allison in there.

Philly cannot afford to have a player like Allison on their team. Ottawa – sure – because they can make up for his mistakes. but no philly – too slow as it is.

I agree. A couple years from now Wellwood Steen and Stajan are going all going to be good players, points raging from 50-70 (maybe 80 for Wellwood) and Stajan and Steen will both be awesome, well rounded two way players.

But just for the record I like Jason Allison and, I think someone should pick him up. Leafs had the number two PP in the league last year, Allison was on their #1 unit, he was a point per game player and he wasn't exactly known for scoring 5 on 5. Translation: Philly, Ottawa, and Phoenix who all have PP % or under 10 should maybe consider this guy. And Tampa and LA aren't much better.

true, and that is going to happen with young players. but i'd rather watch him make mistakes then a vet like Allison or Lindros. i have WAAY more patience.

Yeah, I could see him having a big week with Philly and Boston on the schedule. Fast teams aren't exactly Niki's forte offensively, but we'll see how he does in Buffalo anyway.

And if there was one really good thing about the Florida game. A couple guys like Steen and Bell, and White really stepped up in the third. Wellwood on the other hand folded up and was mishandling passes and trying to force too much through centre and caused a lot of turnovers, I think it was his worst period of the season.

youre going to take a lot of flak for it, but i have a feeling about him. Either line he plays on - with Sundin and Poni, or with Pohl and Battaglia/Kilger - I think he is going to produce.

I hope its against Buffalo, but i see him having a big week next week against Philly, Boston, and Montreal.

hopefully i'm right.

Very true (about Suglobov). I had the same sentiments as you towards Bell and Ondrus, but I had a lot of faith in Ian White given his play at the world juniors a few years ago and the way he played late last year when he was up for 10 games or whatever, and I think White is the best of all our yound defensman hands down. Now if Carlo can just stay healthy for a while he might actually be valuable.

And about Nik playing on the fourth line, he got a promotion to Peca's line in the 2nd period vs. Tampa then was put back where he belongs with Mats Sundin in the third period. We'll see how he does up there, hopefully he can pick up where he left off last season.
