Bregor do you want GMGM to trade Ribs? He seems like he'd be a good centre to have. It's been a shitty year but the team seems to be improving, why not hold on to him for a few years?

Yes, absolutely. He's 33, he's playing way over his head, and he's an unrestricted free agent. I don't want to extend him at market value, and he's not going to give the Caps any kind of discount. Better to trade him now for something of value than let him walk for nothing.
How can you be so callous about "Babyface" Ribeiro?
The idea is that Johansson develops into 2C, and Filip Forsberg has a little experience at center as well. If GMGM re-signs Ribs I'm not gonna get upset (not my money and they should have cap space), he's definitely a valuable player. What I don't want is to hang on to him in some desperate push for the playoffs and watch him sign somewhere else whenever UFA season begins.
I'm thrilled to see Iggy on the pens. At least from a fantasy point of view. lol as for actual feeling about it the pens are very dangerous now.
Kunitz/Crosby/Dupius
Neal/Malkin/Bennett
Morrow/Sutter/Iginla
Cooke/Vitale/Adams (benching kennedy and jefferey)
downright scary.
But Bylsma will probably do something stupid like
Iginla/Crosby/Kennedy
Neal/Malkin/Kunitz
Morrow/Sutter/Dupius
Glass/Jefferey/Adams (benching Vitale and Cooke)
And fuck up the entire team's chemistry.
Just realized we're carrying 15 forwards when everyone is healthy, with no room to carry a 7th D.
Lines should be:
Kunitz/Crosby/Dupius
Neal/Malkin/Iginla
Morrow/Sutter/Cooke
Kennedy/Vitale/Adams (sending Bennett down to AHL since hes our only 2 way contract I'm pretty sure, Jeffrey and Glass benched)
Our PP units could be
Crosby/Geno/Letang/Neal/Kunitz (1st unit with 4/5 players averaging 1.0 Points per game or better, with neal - 30p in 34games - being the only one not at 1.0+)
Iginla/Morrow/Niskanen/Martin/Sutter (2nd PP unit with over 2,000 NHL points combined)
I really just want Iggy to pick up his scoring pace lol
Special show on RDS about iginla right now
They reported that Bruins had the deal almost done but at the last minute Iginla told Feaster, I don't wanna go to boston anymore or something like that)
Bruins should do a press conference at 14h EST
Incoming so much rage lol
Wow, Boston almost got Iginla for a bag of chips and a pop, but the Penguins beat them to it.
Also I'm not sure how much rebuilding will be done with a sub-20 1st rounder and some randoms for your best player. Are the terms just a 1 year rental?
I see Iginla going back to the flames at a cheap price after the season. I believe its a "I want a cup and this is my best chance" kind of thing.
