Get rid of Barker

[spearchucker]

Falk did well. Sometimes if they don't talk about a rookie defenseman that is a good thing. He had some hits and seems to be able to skate well.

Good to hear, like you said less is more.

When is Brodziak going to be taken out of the Havlat/LTD line? That guy is just like Radio a few years back. Gets all sorts of chances but couldn't finish the job. They should try Cullen there. Might be a better fit since he can make a play and shoot the puck.

Barker has good hussle and no talent and Havlat has all the talent in the world and no hussle. Get rid of them both! Barker couldn't play for 1/2 the NHL teams.

I'm looking forward to watching Falk. Sounds like he is a player. Brodziak should be on the checking line.

Should we trade them for Boogaard?

I actually think Barker has some talent hiding in there, I know he was playing for a talented Blackhawks team at the time so that probably helped but he did score 40 points not too long ago so its not like he is a hack or anything. Right now I think Barker might not mentally be all there, one year you are putting up good number on a young/talented team, the next year they trade you and go on to win the stanley cup. That has to hurt.

I have faith in Havlat, I am really hoping that he can get his game together. AS far as Barker, I dont see what you guys have to complain about, is it loosing or Leddy or do you say he is bad, over paid. If you go by the last 3 games, he has actually been pretty good. Or at least somewhere between pretty good and not too bad. He has a couple assists and has actually carried the puck up ice on the PP a time or two.

Bear is right, we have other defensemen to worry more about. We will see.

The only game that I feel that Barker played well in is the last game against Edmonton.

haha no. but did you see the Rangers Leafs game last night. It was because of Boogaard that the Leafs goon took a stupid penalty and gave them the pp which they scored on and it helped then tie the game. I givr the assist on that goal to Boogie.

Last year Havlat had 18 goals and was -19! On the 2ND LINE!!! That is not worth 3.5 mil... I hope he can get him game together too but it's tough to do when you just float around and when you get the puck just give it up all the time.

I just don't see it, I would love to eat my words but I just don't see it. He has some size but that's it.
