We are paying for the past right now. I still think there's a deal that can be made, specifically with Detroit that could help us, but, I don't think it will happen, at least not this season.

I'd disagree, if he's going to be paired with Buium for the foreseeable future and even if it sticks after Brodin comes back and IF they move Mids down to 3rd pair he's going to have to be that steady eddy defense first defenseman to cover for Zeev. Is his contract still a good deal? Ehh debatable with his injury history and age but he's still a great defensive defenseman. He's only got 1 more year after this one and I don't see him signing an extension unless it's for a year on the cheap. Who really needs to step his game up offensively is Faber. Kids got all the tools and talent to produce more offensively but he's gotta use them. Can't continue to pass up open looks in the slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
