I'm so sick of bottom 6/9 guys where you really can't do much more than hope they break even. I don't want those guys anymore.

Someone mentioned Spezza and Thornton signing for close to league minimum. Ditto for Corey Perry. I know there are only a few of those every year, but people being paid millions per year to do this job should be finding these guys. They may not be world beaters, but when they are on the ice, there is at least a chance they will do better than break even.

And I don't want to let the brass off the hook, but AT LEAST get a good 3rd line (and 2nd). With 3 good lines, then you can afford a few minutes for a breather. You can't just have one line capable/likely to outscore the opposition. So they don't even need to find 7-8 guys. Get another legit top line winger, and a 3rd line. So 4 guys.

This is just highlighting our horrendous drafting or lack of drafting for so many years. The bottom 6 should be filled with young guys pushing for bigger roles on the team, instead we get retreads, mysterious undrafted European hopefuls and bums. The FA pool should be supplementing holes, instead we are not even doing the reverse. I have no idea how McLeod got an opportunity? Our bottom 6 is a dog's breakfast. Marody and Benson deserve a chance. They can't be worse than what we have employed to date. Crap, I would give Lavoie a shot around Christmas if he was excelling in the AHL.
