So many young guys that are close, there are so many variables to even predict the lines but Backes on the wing doesn't work with Krejci or Bergeron.

Training camp will shake a lot of things loose, we could easily find guys like Beleskey, Spooner, McQuaid or Schaller being expendable trade bait. We should be able to find a quality LD if we packaged up a couple of these guys.

Everyone and especially Beleskey and Backes have to be in beast mode from day one. Think Backes contributes more and wreaks more havoc from the pivot. Maybe Spooner can apply his speed on the off wing for those two. Not surprised if Senyshyn turns heads and makes decisions difficult for the brass.

If so, make no wonder his point production took a dip last season..BUT, if he's also used to playing the wing, well that's a different story.

That won't happen on this team.

I don't think anybody here has been a tougher critic on Chara these past few years than I. However he continues to be a valuable asset and he still forces the coaches (with his play) to make him log more minutes than any of our other D we have. With that said I wouldn't discuss any contract extension until the end of the season and only on a yearly basis. Also if his play in April is only a shadow of his play in October that would weigh heavily in my decision to extend him.

While I don't agree with everything in the article it did make me smile.. With any of the Scab fans around here, I make a point of reminding them that there is an entire generation of them that haven't seen a Cup title...does my heart good. I keep hoping that they pass our 39 year mark so that will be one less thing they can jack their jaws to us about. I've also thought for years that their unabashed Francophone obsession would be their undoing and up to this point in time, it has been...here's to at least another 25 years (minimum) of it!

I'd be happy with 50 points out of Backes, 25 goals 25 assists but he needs his own line. Every line has or should have a leader, Bergeron and Krejci have the top two covered. Using him as a RWer in the top six is a setup for failure. He's a leader, let him take charge of his own line.
