A case study? No, I wouldn't go along with that. No one player can singlehandedly carry a team full of holes in today's NHL. Face it, to acquire him could do a pretty good job of depleting team depth.

Is Kovalchuk a possibility? A long shot at best, and he'd need to agree to an extension. He's not available for Nathan Paetsch and Clark MacArthur, either.

Kovy is the gamebreaking offensive type of player we lack; and to argue he's not is pure folly.

Mind you; he'd need a playmaking center to get him the puck, and based on our lack of production from our top two lines, it's looking like we don't really have this element.

I'd like to see a move or two involving our forwards to try and get something from our top two lines. Not blowing up the team, just changing up the chemistry on those two lines a bit. The question is whether another team has a player or two in the same boat, who need a change of scenery.

I'd bet my Jonas Brothers CD's against anything major happening......

Honestly, I say trade Roy BECAUSE he's our leading scorer since he has value. I'm less than enamored with his game.

I hear you Squanto; there are no players from out top six that I would be upset to see leaving if we can upgrade in that area.

Interesting, but we would obviously need a big return. I wouldn't be heart broken if he left, but I would expect Darcy to get someone of equal offensive ability in return.
