As I can't be bothered picking through posts that have digs at each other and comments actually related to the thread, anything else that's posted in any thread will just see the whole post deleted.
This means you also Jester. If you want to continue something you started on THF, then do it on THF not on here.

It's definitely one of the many great things about hockey, and sport in general. I mean have you ever listened to Barry Melrose of ESPN fame attempt a critical analysis, he can barely manage to point out the obvious :lol:
I have to admit I think I'm poor at picking out quality 2 way forwards, mainly because many people simply see them as grinders, for me personally though I always thought Jay Latulippe was solid defensively, chipped in goals and got to the dirty areas. And before this season I thought Finnerty would be an upgrade (my personal most disappointing player this season, not to say he played poorly, just not to the level I had hoped), and I often think that Phil Hill is undervalued in the defensive end.
While on Hill I've just noticed on elite prospects he is listed as W/C can anyone say how much experience he has at centre, would be interesting to see him attempt to be a Mark Messier style face-off bully!
Back on topic (sort of) I honestly felt the entire 3rd line (I know its what they are meant for) were brilliant as a group of 2-way forwards (I think they scored too much to be considered grinders)
Apologies for the waffling, I find it so easy to spew forth molten crap when it comes to ice hockey

Vetran rules. Long term AHL journey men now are limited in the slots they can have.
If Craig Weller struggled for a slot, it will be interesting to see who else falls out.
For example Rob Davison hasn't had a NHL contract for 2 seasons and is now a UFA. Can't see him with NJ next season - no where near good enough to waste an AHL vet spot on, and certainly not an NHL contract with our depth. Can't help thinking other teams will view him the same so he may fall out the bottom.
We need to try and catch a couple.

Rob Davison - Rob imo wasn't as good a player when compared to Weller. I thought he pretty much went through the motions and did just enough to justify his signing, Weller offered more in many ways. The only thing that disappointed me with Weller was the fact that he never fought when I felt he should have. Ok we still won games, but i felt he should haver stepped up to the plate at times just to let other teams know who they were dealing with. Class player no doubt, but didn't really frighten the opposition with his known physical strengths. However, Weller was a better signing than Davison.
well to be fair szwez did have an unhealth obsession with potatoes and gleed had a 400 ft drive no one else would touch :lol: :lol: :lol:
on a serious note i think if we can see better players as a result of north americas vetrens rules im happy be interesting to see if weller does get a contract this yr because we have put a contract to him from what i gather and if he doesnt get a better one in NHL/AHL...........
