Eric Cole - +19, 59 pts.
Tom Connolly, +5, 55 pts.
Teppo Numminen +6, 40 pts
Henrik Tallinder +10, 21 pts
Dmitri Kalinin +14, 18 pts
Jay McKee +0, 11 pts
Don't even try to sell that sh-- here. You really want us to believe that losing one winger is the same as losing a center and four starting defensemen? Particularly when Tallinder at +10 is basically replaced by a guy (Rory Fitzpatrick) with a -19.
If you honestly believe that's an equitable trade-off - Cole for those five players - then you simply don't know anything about hockey...and we can safely ignore the rest of your posts on the subject.
