<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhatRas</b></div><div>It shocks me that he is still in the line up. His flash plays are enough to draw attention and great to see him into scrums and hitting but his play without the puck is so lost it's incredible, he makes positional mistakes that you see kids benched for in Midget AA, he's been on the penalty kill as of late but I think that's just Sutter seeing what he's got in guys before next season.
The only feasible spot for him to get ice time right now is beside Backlund because he can hide how bad he is but taking away from Backlund Tkachuk Mangiapane to make a fringe NHL player better is a mistake every time.</div></div>

I know, but at least he's playing with energy, last night the team started to skate with 5 minutes remaining. On a shift, Johnny was skating and handling the puck and it was really what we want from him every shift. He's small, but being small has his advantage, he can turn on a dime, he needs to use this to drive the play, every shift. That late back check by him was awesome too

Thread: Monahans Value is not As High as Flames Fans Think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhatRas</b></div><div>What do you mean by that? That's an interesting statement, who has the Avs management brought in that just didn't jive?</div></div>
The most egregious obviously was Brad May, the best move of moving somebody difficult obviously was Duchene (evidently the locker room and MacKinnon were allowed to blossom) but ROR had that rep at the time, and guys like Mironov were just released from their contract. Now this is obviously my own opinion but I do think Sakic is very cognizant of the types of players he brings in, Moser the tv announcer has made the comment about how the Avs are team that are straight business very little chirping etc.... I could be over playing my own thoughts but the teams take on the personality of their coaches and Bednar is the same way. Again all this is just my opinion.

Thread: Next year we are gonna be good
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhatRas</b></div><div>Fair enough on the other stuff, but I think Kassian is a decent bottom 6 guy getting paid like a middle six guy, if it was the end of last season that cap hit could be okay but the decline he has show this year is not worth any team taking him on at 3.2. Unless he can spectacularly turn it around coming off an injury there is no reason for Seattle to take him. If they're looking for the traits you listed above they could look at guys for less money that is producing more, like a Trent Frederic, Austin Watson, Nick Deslauriers. Cheaper, better players right now, no long term commitment and the fight more than Kassian.</div></div>

That’s fair. I believe Kassian would be an excellent pick for Seattle, not because I don’t want his cap hit, it’s because he is a good player. Yah he’s getting a tad too much, but it’s not a ridiculous contract.
