I agree with your list, but how about adding Jay Mckee to it? The man got $4 million a year from the Blues, got hurt in preseason, played part of one game, and broke his hand. He's been out ever since. Nice investment John Davidson.

I know its been over a year, but Peter Forsberg has done nothing for the Flyers. He was supposed to take them to the promise land and be the icing on the cake for a competative team, and I will give you 7 million reasons a year why he hasn't been all he is made out to be in his tenure in Philadelphia.

oh boy, where to begin?

Peca wasnt brought into to put up huge points. he was brought in as the opposite to Allison (who did score points - 60 in 66 games). he was brought in to be the opposite of Allison - to guard against other team's top players. so he had a bad game against Koivu. big deal.

again, people are criticizing Steen - who is also on the same checking line - for not scoring enough. these guys are better than your precious Bonk and these guys do a great job that doesnt always show up on the scoresheet. even non-leaf fans who know anything about hockey and understand what i am saying.

their PK was 3rd best in the conference before their 7-game slide. it needs to improve again. but Peca's responsible for their recent PK struggles? i dont think so. being a hab fan that doesnt watch every leaf game, you know nothing about all the 5-on-3s Peca has helped killed and all the amazing things he does on the PK.

here's a stat for you: he has 15 points in 33 games meaning that he'll get between 30-40 points this year and about 10-15 goals (which is about average for his career). last year, he had 23 pts by the end of the regular season before he played extremely well in the playoffs. are you getting it now?

hey, if you think the Canucks were bad the last three years, look at Cloutier this year!!! HAHA YOU SUCK DAN, YOU SUCK!!!! Although he is a good guy. So they are a bit underrated. Hey what about Auld. I'm sorry to say since he's one of my favortie players, but he's been terrible.

Yeah, buddy, Koivu beats most players to the puck. Peca is one of the better players at getting pucks in the corners. The leafs PK has been dreadful in previous years, and now Mats plays less PK minutes.

I know what you mean, it's just that Preissing really doesn't fit the Oilers D-man mold of a tough, shot blocking draw the line type of player they have always had in Edmonton on Defence, but for a half season I'm sure the Oil could fit him in. He would be good trade bait at the dealine because every team seems to want a puck moving D-man at the deadline. Maybe Edmonton, maybe even back to San Jose? Wahtever it is I say trade him if they are looking like they make the playoffs in Febuary,if not they'll have to keep him because if they don't make the playoffs, it'll be bye-bye Murray and Muckler, Hello Mike Keenan.

Could also add Mark Bell, Calder, Chara, CLOUTIER, Legace, McKee, Mark Parrish, Demitra, Lupul, Preissing, Bulis… actually most of the offseason signings have been a little subpar.

1. Bertuzzi would be playing good hockey if he wasn't injured so thats not too fair.

2.Peca has being doing alright, but needs to score more

3.Anson Carter has had really slow start even for him, looks like he's breaking out of his slump though with 9 pts in his last 6 games

4.Gerber needs to stop letting bad goals and needs to tighten up his game

5.Tanguay I think has been doing fine. Slow start. Needs to be more consistent though.

I would add Samsonov, Roenick, Nolan, Gill, Kubina and even Lindros to that list though.

I agree. Kilger is *****ing awesome. I can't believe the Habs let us get him for *****ing nothing. He costs nothing, and he'll score 15-20 goals this year.

Would Nolan accept a deal back to Toronto? I doubt it, MLSE kinda *****ed him.

And Wellwood dude, that has Bertuzzi on the list, who HAS been injured. A disappointment is a disappointment.

Although Nolan's getting better, I was actually writing an article on how Nolan's resurgence could lead the Coyotes to a playoff spot, but I accidentally clicked back, instead of the other tab, and lost all of it.
