  I think we don't need a centre of DD type. We have Eller and Plekanec and can keep Halpern and White for bottom 6. Galchenyuk can also play centre if needed. That money could have been spent on a defenceman, not a player of DD type.

  Stoked to hear good reports about Dietz. It certainly makes up for the tough season Thrower is having. I haven't heard much positive about him whole year.

  Agree, Chris. Both points apply. As for Halak, he was great in some games but pretty hopeless in others. That's why those were 7-game series. He did let in quite a few goals. In my opinion, we beat Capitals and Penguins because they didn't have solid goaltending on their end, and they under-rated us. They also didn't hammer us physically as much as Philly did. Also, our elderly defence (Markov, Gill, Hamrlik, Spacek) got tired and worn out as the playoffs progressed. I don't see the reasoning as one-sided as hot/cold Halak.

  Absolutely, mate. People can keep bringing up that crappy Fenwick/Corsi pseudo analysis, but Habs have nobody who can score like Crosby, Malkin, Neal and Kunitz. We were unlucky a bit, but at the same time Pittsburgh Penguins are showing how much difference between us and them exists, when it comes to creating chances and scoring.
• Comment on Subban skates with Team Canada in Sweden
  That's true. His original 2012-13 salary was 5.5M, which is 3.2M prorated for a 48-game season. But of course, he got bought out, so he gets 1/3 of that(?) Which is over $1M + Sharks salary, before tax. I might not get it right to the cent, but Scotty doesn't make nearly as much money as people think he does.

  He might be good in the room, but he's no freakin' good on the ice!! :D

  The future of US hockey looks decent. They iced a pretty young team tonight and demolished Russia 8-3. Not only Galchenyuk, but also Jacob Trouba (D, 19) scored. Kristo played on 4th line and didn't have points in the game.
