I hate to say it but nashville is a very good team. Most guys are individually good and they play like a team. I'm pretty sure if you switch out Manson for ekholm or Fowler for ellis our guys would do good on that team too. On the other hand if we had ellis on our team this season he'd join the suck. Yes we need scoring but we also need someone who can clear the crease and be a bit more physical. Whether Guhle is that guy remains to be seen but Montour was definitely not that guy. We need a scoring forward but we have an abundance of forwards. Only problem is they're not scoring. We're not trading Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler, Silfverberg & Henrique. We miss Kase, Rakell is a ghost and the kids are still kids. What I hope is that we bring in a very good coach next season who can get this team to play to its potential because no matter the horror this season, our team can't be that bad. If everybody cranks it up a notch (which they can) and some of the kids (Jones, Comtois) take the next step next season might be pretty fun.

Well a lot would have to happen to make it possible. It's unlikely but not impossible I guess. He shows no signs of slowing down but the way he plays is taxing on the body. Who knows when the dropoff comes?

A lot can happen over the course of a few years. He'll need to score 50 goals for the next 8 seasons. Don't know whether he can keep up the same level of play for that long. The way he plays he asks a lot from his body.
