<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brad_Treliving</b></div><div>Nope, Reaves is fine where he is at. This isn't a Kyle Dubas team anymore where you think you can win with guys like Denis Malgin

I would send Nick Robertson down and trade Dubas' mistake of a signing in Jarnkrok</div></div>

We have consistently signed gritty-type players. Simmonds, Clifford. Traded for gritty type players, Foligno, Acciari, O'Reilly etc. The issue in the Florida series and in playoff series of years gone by was a largely one-dimensional defense that only had Rielly that could launch attacks through passing AND skating, and the other issue with the players was a straight-up lack of skill and foot speed in the bottom six.

Another issue has consistently been different treatment from refs compared to other teams but everyone conveniently forgets that. Furthermore, taking digs at players like Malgin but wanting players like Reaves who are just of a bigger frame, slower, and occasionally fight someone for no usually little to no reason, is usually thinly veiled Xenophobia against us Europeans. It was true when Cherry said it about Nylander and Ritchie and it's true now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jim_Benning_Almost</b></div><div>This season is Hyman's last in his 20s, and he's coming off his most productive season - scoring on almost a 30 goal pace per 82 games - so his advisors are telling him to be smart and cash in. Go to the team willing to pay the highest price for the longest period of time.

We as fans often forget that this is a business first and foremost. Players need to make the most amount of money they can during their career, and only when they get above 35 and are still serviceable do you see them doing deals like Thornton or Spezza are doing.</div></div>

Yeah, you're right. Still, up Bertuzzi to 4 mil (he's Hyman but better imo and more gritty and younger). And what do you reckon Foligno would go for, idk with where he's at in his career if he gets more than 2 mil and if we don't get him I'd take Ryan Getzlaf but I don't think there's any interest from either party.
