source? Did he say it himself?

Re: Regier: 'done looking at defensemen'

Yeah, I'll wait for a source before posting a reaction, but if that's true, I'm going to be fuming.

He hinted at something to that effect this morning when I was listening to the radio. That they have one or two guys in Portland that they feel are ready to come up to the NHL.

I don't believe a word that guy says anymore. There are still defensemen out there that can help you. Andy Sutton is a fine player. MA Bergeron can help you PP.

did he mention who?

Obviously Weber( who is most certainly ready) and Grangani (who is very skilled as well)

I would love a kaberle type player though.

I hope that he's just talking right now. If this is true, I will be pissed!

I've already figure it to be fact...

this team is not going to do anything in FA.... I wish they would but it's been obvious the last few years on how this team chooses to operate.

did he mention who?

I can't remember specifically but Thurm is spot on, it's those 2 guys that are the most ready to step up, if this were to be the case.

I have a hard time taking anything he says seriously though. Lots of this is GM speak and negotiating tactics. I guess we'll see.

Re: Regier: 'done looking at defensemen'

If this is the organization's idea of upgrading this team, then they are even more stupid then we thought. The more they screw up, the more right they prove all of the fans that question their ability.

Re: Regier: 'done looking at defensemen'

I'm not defending this decision if it's true, but I do have a question.

What is the point of having an AHL affiliate if you don't eventually move some of those players up to the NHL team?

What's the point of FA or trading if you never decide to upgrade where you need it...especially if you the upgrade is not in your organization now?
