Music Fitness And Garcinia Cambogia
Posted on November 29, 2011 by
Exercise is an important part of my life. It not only helps me stay healthy and fit, but also makes me feel great. The work out music I choose often affects how well I am able to exercise. I prefer to choose the music I exercise to according to the style of workout that I intend to do. For instance, for a cardio workout I like to select peppy songs that have a clear and distinct beat, that I can follow. I've found my energy levels increase when I use garcinia cambogia fruit extract as part of my diet routine.
For my strength training routine, I choose slower music that ensures that I slow down my pace and do my repetitions properly. For a brisk walk I prefer to listen to classical music by composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. Music influences our moods in dramatic ways. It can help you get over your blues and add a spring to your step. On days that I may wish to skip my workout simply because I feel lazy, I put on some upbeat music that puts me in the right mood.Gyms also tend to play work out music that motivates their clientele.
For slower exercise styles such as yoga and pilates, I enjoy slow, soothing music. Such an acoustic background sets the perfect ambience for a smooth and uninterrupted fitness routine. Experts recommend that for some styles of exercise, such as aerobics, we choose work out music that makes it simple to keep count of the steps and repetitions.
While you train, if you like to listen to music on the iPod, you can create folders that will allow you to access fast, slow and medium paced music, at the click of the button. It is important that you pick exercise that suits your fitness level and does not exhaust you. Similarly, the music should not bore you and nor should it distract you from your performance.

Any trip to the supermarket offers a ton of tasty options, but why not support the companies and brands whose environmental practices are as sound as their products? Next time you're browsing the aisles, vote with your pocketbook and try these sustainable — and delicious — products.
TalkingRain Beverage Company twist. A reformulation of this organic flavored water means that now you can enjoy their exotic flavors like Mandarin white tea, West Indies lime and more with zero calories! (The new version, available in early July, will be sweetened with Stevia.) But what's even better is that because their Pacific Northwest water source is so pristine, the company can pump the H2O directly from the ground right into the plant, eliminating the need for trucks!

Ice storm damage in Kiel and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, February 22, 1922.
From February 21-23, 1922, much of eastern Wisconsin was hobbled by a massive ice storm. Snow and freezing rain coated trees, power lines, streets and railroads, cutting off electricity, phone and telegraph service and isolating many cities.
The last image in this set is a postcard showing downed trees in Manitowoc. The sender wrote:
One instance of what the storm's done. Not a tree in the city that is not damaged, our beautiful cemetery is a wreck. It would make you weep.

The Michigan Earth Day Fest is happening this weekend in downtown Rochester. It is one of the planet's largest Earth Day events with 150 exhibits.From a soothing massage to eco-friendly art, the Michigan Earth Day Fest is a green celebration and a chance to explore.The recycled LPs exhibit caught our eye right away. Wendy Roberts is the creative mind behind the designs."I use every single part of the record and make recycled items. I make purses, pocket mirrors, notebooks, clocks," she said. "I like the fact that you can reuse things. People don't play records as much anymore, so why not reuse them."If food is more your thing, there is plenty of that, as well. Plus the chance to grow your own and buy shares in a community garden near Lake Orion."Our community garden has 40 members, and we provide about 20,000 pounds of food that we split between those 40 families," said Ken Webster from Upland Hills CSA.And what would our planet be without our feathered friends and our furry friends? There is something for them, too."I make home baked dog treats. They're all wholesome, no artificial flavoring, no preservatives," said Nancy Pelky, owner of Bone Jour Bakery.There are clothing lines made from green materials and a host of products and services, even fun activities for kids, plus music and entertainment all to honor Mother Earth."We only have one Earth, so we're trying to think about sustainability, what can we do for the next generation?" said Dr. Kerrie Saunders.The Michigan Earth Day Fest also features green and healthy living exhibits, presentations and programs. It runs from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, visit www.migreenteam.com/miedf.

OBJECTIVE: The job preferences of adults with severe mental illness who
were participating in supported employment programs were examined. METHODS:
Data were collected on job preferences, attainment of competitive
employment, job satisfaction, and job tenure of 135 adults who participated
in two supported employment programs in New Hampshire. Data obtained at
baseline and at six-month follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS: When the
clients entered the supported employment programs, 81 percent expressed job
preferences, and their preferences tended to be realistic and stable.
People who obtained employment in preferred areas were more satisfied with
their jobs and remained in their jobs twice as long as those who worked in
nonpreferred areas. Clients were more likely to develop a new job
preference or to change their preference if they participated in a program
that emphasized rapid job search than if they participated in a
prevocational skills training program. They were also more likely to
develop a preference or change their preference if they obtained a
competitive job. CONCLUSIONS: Helping people with severe mental illness
obtain competitive jobs that correspond with their explicit job preferences
increases job satisfaction and tenure. Job preferences are more likely to
develop or change through searching for a job or working at a job than
through prevocational training.

Toyota turns a $1.2 billion profit
The profit came despite huge spending on recalls and other problems. The company sees growth in 2010. But to help US sales, expect incentives into the fall.
Updated: 1:35 p.m. ET.
Here's how strong Toyota Motor (TM) is. It reported $1.2 billion in fiscal-fourth-quarter profit, despite spending $1.1 billion recalling some 8 million vehicles around the world and losing $223 million in the key North American market.
And it boosted its guidance for the coming fiscal year.
Despite the recall's cost and lost sales, Toyota expects its next full-year profit to rise 48% to $3.3 billion.
Toyota's American Depositary Units in New York were up 1.6% to $77.97 this afternoon. They had fallen 22% between Jan. 19 and Feb. 23 and are still down 7.3% on the year.
Rival Ford Motor (F) was up 2.8% to $12.48. Honda Motor (HMC) was down 0.4% to $33 in New York.
The company's $1.2 billion profit for the quarter ending in March reversed an $8 billion loss in the same quarter of 2009, when the global auto market was bottoming out. Revenue rose 49% to $58 billion. It was slowed, the Detroit Free Press noted, only slightly by a stronger Japanese yen that makes foreign sales less profitable.
But in North America, once the company's strongest market, Toyota booked an operating loss of $233 million for the quarter. That was actually good news. A year ago, it lost $1.9 billion as the auto industry was getting creamed by the worst of the recession.
In addition to spending $1.1 billion on recalls and quality improvements, the furor had cost the company roughly $800 million in lost sales worldwide.
For the entire fiscal 2010, Toyota said it earned $2.3 billion, reversing the $5.5 billion loss for fiscal 2009 that was the worst for the automaker since it was founded in 1937. Much of the turnaround came from cost-cutting and Toyota's financial arm, as total revenues were down 8%.
CEO Akio Toyoda vowed to press forward with new technologies and expansion in China.
Toyota has boosted its rebates and interest-free loan offers to U.S. consumers in an attempt to win back customers, breaking with years of maintaining that incentives cheapened the brand.
While incentives may be halted by year-end, Takahiko Ijichi, a Toyota senior managing director, suggested the offers would continue through the summer.
"We do not plan to keep incentives at this level," he said through a translator.
Toyota also said it had booked a special cost for its entire fiscal year of about $550 million for the shutdown of the NUMMI plant in California, the former joint venture with General Motors and the only Toyota plant represented by the United Auto Workers. Toyota's North American production was about half its sales in the quarter.
The results came a day after U.S. auto safety regulators opened a fresh probe into Toyota's handling of a 2005 recall over faulty steering rods in older pickups, questioning whether the automaker delayed making the fix after issuing recalls in Japan.
Last month, Toyota agreed to a $16.4 million fine by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for delaying by at least four months the recall of 2.3 million vehicles to fix sticking accelerator pedals. Toyota paid the fine but denied NHTSA's conclusions that it had dragged its feet or broken U.S. laws.

I trust all of you have had your fill of boiled and candy eggs and have your house somewhat back in order from this Easter weekend.
Cooler weather moved into Arkansas a few days ago, which isnŌĆÖt surprising.
ItŌĆÖs been said that we are six people away from being connected to each other.
People of a certain age share memories of special things that the current generation has little or no knowledge of. Nor, it seems, do they want to.
(Yes, I know I ended two sentences with a preposition. Not good writing style, but nothing else said it the same way.)
Case in point: Teenage interests of my generation compared to those of my grandchildren. The two are light years apart.
Our subject for todayŌĆÖs column is Brolliology.
My kitchen successes can be counted on my two hands with a couple of digits to spare, but among them is the green bean casserole IŌĆÖve prepared for many, many years. There may be a glorious repast including traditional and exotic dishes, but if I donŌĆÖt serve that casserole at Thanksgiving and Christmas, it causes bad feelings among some members of my family.
My father never looked or acted like a daredevil, but in his younger life, he definitely was. Barely reaching the 5ŌĆÖ 2ŌĆØ mark on the height chart, and wearing a size 5.5 shoe, he barely met the ArmyŌĆÖs size requirements.
Spring is a time when folks decide to clean up, spruce up and fix up around the house. ItŌĆÖs a time of re-birth of sorts. We venture out into the sunlight, our eyes squinting at the bright sunlight. But once our pupils adjust we see the list of projects growing. Such is life.
Did you follow the adventure of the young Egyptian cobra that apparently slithered out of her confines at the Bronx Zoo? As I write this column, CNN is reporting that she has decided to make her reappearance.
Until a few minutes ago (on Thursday), she had not been seen since Friday, March 25. Zoo officials kept assuring the public that everything was OK; she would come out from wherever she was hiding when she got hungry. No word yet on where she spent her ŌĆ£vacation.ŌĆØ
Jules Vern imagined a wildly elaborate machine. Physicists theorize with numbers. Engineers tinker with plans. They each may have taken a different approach to the same quest but they all shared the same result. Nothing. Zilch. Zero. Nada. The problem was that they were looking in the wrong place. But I know where to find what they all seek.

The Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization have been monitoring the outbreak of H1N1 flu (swine influenza A) in the United States and around the world.
While there are currently no cases of H1N1 flu on the PCA&D campus, we are monitoring the situation. The College will publish regular communications via email and on www.pcad.edu to keep you informed about its response and steps to protect the PCA&D community.
Updated information is available from the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.
Here's how you can stay healthy and prevent the spread of the flu:
· Do not go out in public if you are felling sick and discourage family or friends who may be experiencing flu-like symptoms. According to the CDC, symptoms for H1N1 flu are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and may include some combination of: fever, greater than 100 degrees F; sore throat; cough; stuffy nose; chills; headache; body aches and/or fatigue.
· Stay informed. The CDC Web site is updated regularly.
· Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
· Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or shirt sleeve when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
· Wash your hands often with soap and warm water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
· Stay home if you feel sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
· Develop a family emergency plan as a precaution. This should include storing a supply of food, medicines, face masks, alcohol-based hand rubs, and other essential supplies.

- Excellent food and servie, as usualdeathm67VIPDined on 9/17/2014Quiet and under new management. Still excellent food and service. Ask for Betty for your waitress.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/10/2014We were meeting friends for dinner and chose Da Domenica for its convenient location and a good place for conversation. The meal was outstanding and service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Bit of Italy in Your BackyardOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/30/2014DaDomenico is a charmed bit of authentic Italy in your backyard!! The restaurant is run by and the servers are actually Italian!! Everyone is friendly and seem to genueinely care about your happiness. The food never disappoints, comes out hot and as if eating in Florence! And, before you leave the restaurant, you are planning when you can come back again.Special Features:
- What a restaurant should beCullenatorVIPDined on 8/26/2014We hadn't been to DaDomenico in several years, and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. My husband and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary, and wanted someplace special for dinner. We weren't disappointed. Everything - from the atmosphere to the wine to the food to the service - was simply outstanding. We felt like we were the only people in the restaurant, and were totally pampered - but it wasn't overdone or stuffy. We could not have asked for a better experience on our special day, and I'm still thinking about it. What a treat - thank you!Special Features:
- Outstanding!breakfastloverVIPDined on 8/16/2014This place never fails to please. We were warmly welcomed back. The waiter not only remembered us from our previous visit, but also what we had ordered and the wine we had selected. We were not in a hurry and he paced the courses perfectly. And the food was divine. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DaDomenica Worth the VisitjpclarkDined on 8/16/2014Assuming local shops around the Silver Line will be torn down in the not too distant future, diners should make a pilgrimage to DaDomenico. The traditional Italian food was very good and old style. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The interior was well maintained, except for one small area of the ceiling in the main dining area. A small bar for before or after dinner drinks was an added plus. Well worth a visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- why did it take us so long!breakfastloverVIPDined on 8/8/2014After driving past this place for years, my husband and I decided to give it a whirl. what an unexpected surprise! the service was light-hearted, informative, friendly -- just plain outstanding. the arugula salad was excellent; my husband said the lentl soup was the best he has ever had; the lamb chops were to die for and the seafood linguini was cooked to perfection. We are already looking forward to a return visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing experienceJesterFoodieDined on 8/8/2014First I had to change the times for our reservation several times due to my girlfriend's schedule but OpenTable and the restaurant were quite flexible. We walk in and are immediately taken to this back secluded romantic alcove where you almost tower over the other diners and feel like a king. The food was put simply, incredible. I had the lobster ravioli which melted in your mouth, she had the veal chop (which is their specialty and I can see why!) We mentioned it was our anniversary and they surprised us with a tiramisu on the house which was quite good too. Bottom line I will be back for our next special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seen better daysVacubfanDined on 8/2/2014We met another couple for dinner and sat in one of the booths in back. The ceiling was stained from past roof leaks and the seating was cramped for four. I thought the menu was quite "tired" and the offerings were similar to that found in Italian restaurants 40 years ago. My wife had their signature veal chop which I thought was overpriced at $42 and my entrée of veal piccata was only so-so. At least the restaurant was quiet so we could talk with our friends but there was nothing there in the food or ambience that would get me to return. We left about 9:00 on a Saturday night and the restaurant was literally deserted. The only plus was the service was good+.
- Classic upscale Italiandeathm67VIPDined on 8/1/2014Still has the best veal chop I've had anywhere. Trout special was excellent.Special Features:
- Excellent TasteOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/26/2014From the Burrata to the lamb everything was great, everyone past food to each other to try. We also had the butternut squash ravioli which was amazing. The chicken and veal marsala wese plain in presentation but the taste was very good. The ricotta cheese cake was delicious yet light.Special Features:
- DaDomenico Never DisappointsDaDomenicoDined on 7/24/2014Haven't been to DaDomenico in years and, although it has changed slightly, it was just as wonderful as I recall. The food was fantastic, the wine list and Betty Lou's recommendations were spot on and the ambience was just perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- loveccVIPDined on 7/19/2014This was our first time dining at DaDomenico, and it was a wonderful evening from beginning to end. We were greeted promptly and received a very friendly welcome. Part of our party had already arrived and was seated in a lovely very private booth. Our server was excellent she took drink orders, she told us to take our time and let her know when we were ready to order. She realized we hadn't seen each other in quite awhile and we wanted to talk for a bit before ordering. While we were looking at the menu, we were brought very warm Italian bread with choice of oil or butter...delicious! Our meals were very good, everything was completely enjoyed. The food and atmosphere at DaDomenico was excellent.Special Features:
- Good food, but loud groupsLoveNoVADiningDined on 7/14/2014The night we were there, a group of 6 was making quite a bit of noise very close by. Another group also was irritated. The place was not very crowded (this was a Monday night), so the group should have been seated away from other diners. Their veal chop is always excellent, I had gnocchi and cucumber soup - both excellent also. Ambiance is fake European and fine. Staff usually excellent but our server kept walking away from her area. We had to wait for her to pour wine several times. This is unusual - service is usually great. Must be the "B Team" on Mondays.Special Features:
- Love Da Domenico's!Brittles0110VIPDined on 7/11/2014The restaurant was very quiet when a friend and I dined at 6:30pm, but it was rather early. We started with the burrata, so creamy and silky. Great blend of flavors. The veal parm was AMAZING, and my friend had the gnocchi, which he really enjoyed. The service was very attentive and detailed. This was my second time to the restaurant and I look forward to going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SUPERB AS ALWAYS!lovedadomenicoDined on 6/28/2014Excellent food, great service and great wine selection!. It is my favorite Italian restaurant since 12 years ago! They do know about customer service!Special Features:
- Best Italian food and ambienceBobBDined on 6/26/2014This is a local favorite for the quality of food, service, and ambience. Booths are very private, Can't beat the value.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SamOVIPDined on 6/18/2014Hadn't been in many years - the bread and the homemade pasta were both really good. Started with the burrata, which was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Executive Vice President & CEOSteveDined on 6/11/2014Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Exactly what you want in a long-established family-owned restaurant. I first went there thirty years ago and was glad I tried it again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 648 reviews are from the DaDomenico Ristorante reviews archive.
- Delightfully authentic restaurantRKHKDined on 5/17/2014Enjoyed dinner at this seemingly established place in booming Tyson's Corner. Food was good, ambiance very pleasant, and wait staff authentic and fun. Very nice evening enjoyed by all.Special Features:
- Great Friday Night Dinner for 2SoCalGalVIPDined on 5/16/2014Made reservations and requested one of their booths. Luckily one of the booths was available and we were seated as soon as we arrived. To start, we ordered the Mozzarella in Carrozza (fried mozzarella) and the Insalata Di Cesare (Caesar salad), as always delicious. The Hubby ordered the famous Veal Chop and said it was amazing. I had the Petto Di Pollo Parmigiana (Chicken Parmegiana) also delicious but could not finish it as the portion was large. Overall service, ambience, and most importantly the food was great, we will definitely be returning.Special Features:
- Mother's Day dinnerVeggieFoodieDined on 5/11/2014We went for a Mother's Day dinner. They had a set menu - unfortunately not much vegetarian choices... The waiter was not willing to help us but just before the meal arrived, he said the chef was willing to accommodate... Too late! One of the wait staff was very rude - just plonked the bread basket on our table and walked away. Luckily he did not end up serving us. Whatever we did eat, was delicious! We would probably go back, just to try the regular menu.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/11/2014We made a reservation for Mother's Day Brunch. Even though the restaurant was not at all crowded, we waited about an hour for our food and we were only a party of four. Once the food arrived, it was delicious, but there were items that we had remind them we ordered. They were excellent at accommodating an infant. The interior of the restaurant could use a little sprucing up.Special Features:
- Very good experienceVeraDined on 5/7/2014I met 3 former colleagues for dinner at DaDomenico. The food for all of us was very good, the wine excellent and the ambiance outstanding. The room was quiet enough for conversation, the service was very attentive. It was a great evening and the atmosphere in the restaurant greatly contributed to the success.Special Features:
- Great FoodChriscVIPDined on 5/6/2014Always a great meal at DaDomenico's. Outstanding service.Special Features:
- Not busy at LunchtimePickyEaterDined on 4/29/2014Good place for a business lunch, if you need a quiet place to really talk. Wait staff is very attentive.Special Features:
- Absolutely outstanding!!!DaFanDined on 4/20/2014As you enter the restaurant you find that it opens up into a very nicely decorated and romantic gem in the Tyson's corridor. The food is high quality, and is delicious. The prices are good and surprisingly less than you would expect as your meals are prepared by an actual Chef. The service is exceptional. Think Mom & Pop restaurant with an world renowned Italian Chef, and European décor. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Group dinner was a hit!magooVIPDined on 4/15/2014We did a project team dinner on a Tuesday night and had a great time. We had different dietary restrictions in the group and all were able to find multiple choices for their meal. We ordered appetizers and salads and soup for the first course which were all wonderful. One of our group had the famous veal chop and said it was wonderful. I had ravioli and could not finish - it was a healthy portion. We also ordered desserts and had panna cotta and creme brulee. Both were great. We also ordered a few bottles of wine and the prices were reasonable and selection was very Italian. We are definitely planning another visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As good as alwaysdeathm67VIPDined on 4/3/2014Don't forget to try their veal chop. It is the best.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I had not been to Da DomenicoLuisDined on 3/31/2014I had not been to Da Domenico in about 8 years and that was a mistake. I should have come back sooner. Note that we came for lunch so the crowd is more businesslike than for dinner. We arrived at 12:15 and there was plenty of seating space but for a Monday that was not bad at all. We both ordered the Salmon special which was priced a little on the high side given that it was lunch but kind of expected for this particular Italian restaurant. It was cooked very well and I would order it again. Definitely returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Pleasant SurpriseDKNixDined on 3/29/2014We found out about this restaurant on Open Table. We saw that it had great reviews and it was close to our daughters school ( GMU), we were taking her and her best friend to dinner for their Birthday. From the moment we walked in the door the service began. We were greeted with warmth and a genuine feeling of welcome. The wait staff were very pleasant and every suggestion was spot on. The food was amazing, not heavy and the portions were just right. We brought our own dessert of cupcakes, which they had no problem with and then they brought tiramisu for the Birthday girls. We will go back again and again. Great last minute find. Don't be put off by the fact they are located in a strip mall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Knowledgeable, energetic staffSkindogVIPDined on 3/29/2014As soon as we walked in, we noticed the average age of the wait staff is 55 or 60, often a great sign. It was clear they were veterans of the well run restaurant. The service was a little slow, though the result of being understaffed and not any lack of intention by the waiter. The wines by the glass were a little too pedestrian for the very good food.Special Features:
- We should eat there more often.hungrytodayDined on 3/22/2014The fettuccine con vongole was the most flavorful version that I have ever had of this dish anywhere. The insalata Mista was delicious and both of our desserts, pana cotta and Sicilian cannoli were excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent vegetarian food.OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/14/2014Excellent vegetarian food. Would like to have a few more vegetarian options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic!BabsDined on 3/12/2014Great food, good time, good service and loved the entertainment! Would recommend!Special Features:
- It's time has passedHappyVIPDined on 3/8/2014After reviewing the long list of awards you say to your self , can't be that bad. WRONG. It's day has come and gone. Interior needs a make over. It's just too bad. After receiving our appetizers which where dishes that had the opportunity to be great. We sent them both back . spoiled food. ask for our check and explained the situation and left. No one tried to stop us we left a half bottle of wine.
- FairApexVIPDined on 3/8/2014We have been to this restaurant in the past. Seems to have changed for the worse. Food was fair
- Excellent Experience--albeit slowPSUDanoVIPDined on 3/8/2014Very good dining experience--excellent food and service (JB was an outstanding server). The kitchen was slow apparently due to several large groups. The server made up for the time it took for the meal to be served with attentiveness, and Italian meals should be gradually enjoyed, anyhow. However, I recommend that the restaurant should better staff its kitchen AND limit the number of large groups.Special Features:
- I loved the food there ! IPlarentDined on 3/1/2014I loved the food there ! I lived in Rome, Italy for eight years and I can say that the food was really authentic. Great service as well. I would go there again.Special Features:
- A must try!KarenSDined on 3/1/2014Outstanding restaurant, great food, efficient service---definitely would recommend.

Earlier in the week, Ben Wright posted a pretty nice two-part interview with the new GM of the Thrashers, Rick Dudley. In case ya missed it, here is part one…and here is part two.
Among the number of subjects covered, one question Dudley responded to in the second part of the piece had to do with the upcoming entry draft…specifically, would he consider trading away one of the Thrashers' two first-round picks? Currently the hold the eighth overall as well as New Jersey's later in the round obtained via the Kovalchuk trade.
Dudley's response…"I didn't enter any of those drafts thinking "I'm going to trade this" but people get in a frenzy around the draft and want to deal. I've already had a couple people call who want to move up or add a second first round pick. And do you know what? They're available. There's just a price. I have a pretty good knowledge of what they're worth and if you want to move up to eight or acquire another pick you're going to have to pony up with something, and it's going to have to be something pretty good because they are very valuable."
So, they are "available"…but at a "price".
Given that, I ask you…if the Thrashers are indeed listening to offers for the number eight pick in the draft, what exactly do you think the "price" should be? Do you think Dudley would be wise to consider using that pick…or possibly packaging it with a prospect… to bring in a proven commodity like, say, a Jerome Iginla or Patrick Sharp?
Or are you one who believes that the Thrashers are better off simply using that pick themselves, drafting a young prospect to join the list of others the organization have in the pipeline?
As you ponder your response, let's take a quick look back at some of the more recent eighth overall picks…a review of what drafting in that slot has gained the team using it. Then we'll take a look forward at who might be available once the first seven picks in this June's draft.
Last summer, the Dallas Stars took Scott Glennie with the eighth pick…a forward playing with the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL. In three seasons with that team, he has scored 86 goals and 131 assists during 182 regular season games. He has 4 goals and 15 assists in 18 playoff games as well. He is yet to play in an NHL game with the Stars.
In 2008, Denmark's Mikkel Boedker was the eighth overall selection by the Phoenix Coyotes…the highest-ever drafted Danish player. At the time, he was a member of the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. The following season he played in 78 games for the Coyotes scoring 11 goals and 17 assists finishing a -6. This past season he played in 14 NHL games and had 3 points and was a +2.
What should Dudley do with the 8th overall draft pick?

Centerman Zach Hamill was the selection of the Boston Bruins with the 2007 number eight pick. At the time he was playing with the WHL's Everett Silvertips. Toward the end of the 2007-08 season, he was moved up to the Bruins' AHL affiliate in Province where he has scored 13 goals and 18 assists in 72 games. He was able to play in one game for Boston at the end of the season, picking up an assist during 12:08 TOI in the 4-3 shootout win against Washington.
Back in 2006, another Silvertip went at the eighth spot as centerman Peter Mueller was picked up by the Coyotes. Mueller played in all 81 games for Phoenix during the 2007-08 season and scored 22 goals and 32 assists. The following season he netted 13 goals and 23 assist in 72 games. Then this past season…after only 4 goals and 17 assists in 54 games…he was traded at the deadline to Colorado along with Kevin Porter in exchange for Wojtek Wolski. In his first game with the Avs he scored once to help them to a 4-3 win over the Ducks, then finished the season scoring 8 more times and chipping in with 11 assist.
Now, looking forward to the players that might be available once the eighth pick rolls around this year…here are just some of the names I have read/heard being kicked around. Please feel free to add/discuss others you might have an eye on.
Mark Pysyk – Defenseman currently playing with the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings. He scored 7 goals and 17 assists this past season in 48 games played, though a broken foot shortened his season. In an interview with Glen Erickson of Hockey's Future, Oil Kings head coach Steve Pleau said of Pysyk, "Ever since he started as a 16-year old with us, he's been out best defenseman". Continuing he added, "Mark has good hockey sense, skating is his strength and he makes that first pass very well".
Emerson Etem – Centerman who led WHL rookies with 37 goals playing in Medicine Hat…a good puck handler with above average skating skills and, according to Phil Foley of the Atlanta Thrashers Examiner, he has spent the last few offseasons training with Chris Chelios, Mike Commodore and Mike Comrie.
Jack Campbell – Goalie for the U.S. National U-18 team who NHL.com's Adam Kimelman describes as "a big athletic goalie with championship pedigree. I add this option in only for the sake of discussion, as I do not think the Thrashers need to be taking a goalie with the 8th pick.
Ryan Johansen – Centerman with the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL. Last season he scored 25 goals and 44 assists, amassing 53 PIM and a +17 rating. "This kid keeps getting better", Brad Holland says of Johansen in his mock draft. "Good finish to regular season and great playoffs has ATL 'reaching' here".
Derek Forbort – Defenseman currently with the U.S. National U-18 squad, committed to the University of North Dakota. Hockey's Future projects him as a Number 1 NHL defender saying, "One of the most talented defensemen in the 2010 draft. Exceptional decision-making. Has the size and skating and is very agile. Doesn't like to carry the puck, but his passes are laser sharp. He could stand to add a bit of grit to his game.
Alexander Burmistrov – Russian centerman who plays for the Barrie Colts of the OHL. In 62 games last season he had 22 goals and 43 assists. "He's very imaginative in his plays", Barrie coach Marty Williamson said of Burmistrov to Alessandro Seren Rosso of Hockey's Future. "His skill level is obvious. He has a high skill level, loves to make players around him better, he's a think pass-first kind of player. He's one of those kind of guys that really makes everybody better on the ice".
Nino Niederreiter – Another Portland Winterhawk, this Swiss left-winger…nicknamed "El Nino"… netted 36 goals and 24 assists in 65 WHL games last season. Puck Daddy's Bruce Peter writes of Niederreiter, "He's a strong winger with decent size (6-1, 205 lbs.) that seems to have the ability to slow the game down when the puck is on his stick".
So again…do any of these players do anything for you? Is there another prospect that might…or would you rather that 8th overall used to procure a proven commodity should Dudley be approached with such a deal?

Excellent information Bill. You sure you're not secretly pirating internet feeds of the WHL? My take is this: you want a skilled player or a goalie, go to the Q. Wingers who can score or puck movers, go to the O, a tough winger, a brawler or a defensive banger, go to the WHL. Simple formula.
Go Blackhawks!

Maybe we'll keep trading down–and then bluster about "getting the player we wanted all along!"…
…or maybe we'll deal with our buddies with promises not to take the player(s) other teams covet?
It will be interesting to see what Don does this year, as always….I'm sure we'll be exploring newer boundaries of incompetence…

Sage, I have to admit, your post had me laughing. We've tried 'those strategies' already, in 1999, 2002, and 2005.
Rawhide, my draft selection would be Derek Forbort. I think NHL Central Scouting has him at 10th overall. If they're correct in their assessment, that means Atlanta should have the option to select him at 8th overall. No team can ever have enough quality defensemen, says I. Of course, someone else could pick him before Atlanta gets to the podium.
Okay, don't feel like picking? Well, I'm not a big fan of trading. UNLESS, the player wants to play here. If such a player is out there, with years left on his contract, or who is a pending RFA, I'm all ears. I don't mind making a trade that makes sense.
Absent that, all I can do is engage 'wild hairy speculation' and a plethora of 'what if' scenarios. The one I've been tossing around in my grey matter, while laughing heartily at myself, is a 3-team deal with Calgary. It's stupid, okay. It won't happen. And tomatoes are about to be hurled at me. But here goes. Calgary trades Jerome Iginla to the Thrashers for pick #8 in the draft, as well as a conditional 3rd rounder in 2011. Edmonton, unable to sign quality players in their own market, is intrigued by the prospect of plucking their cross-province rival's star player. And for Iggy, he's not 'so far away' from home, in Edmonton, from Calgary. The Thrashers ask him, prior to making the deal with Calgary, how he'd feel about being the Captain of the Oilers, and sticking it to the Flames six times a year? Assuming Iggy said, "Sure, fine, I'll play in Edmonton," Dudley approaches the Oilers for a deal for the 1st overall pick. I told you you'd be laughing. I'm laughing. Gee, Brendan. Like the Oil is gonna pass on Tyler or Taylor to get the "back 9″ from Iginla, that's laugh-out-loudable. I try to cause chuckles. It burns calories. It's supposedly good for you. "Laughter is the best medicine," and so forth.
Okay, let's try to sweeten it up a bit. Atlanta trades Iginla ($7 million), its pick #25 (via NJ), AHL prospects Brett Sterling and Eric O'Dell, and Ron Hainsey ($4.5 million, with 3 years left on the deal), for the 1st overall pick and Shawn Horcoff ($6 million), just as "salary relief" for Edmonton, from a bad contract, that perhaps the Oilers are trying to unload.
Did I mention that I've been drinking, tonight?
May 7th, 2010
11:00 pm
By the way, I like Tyler Seguin with the 1st overall pick. Nothing against Taylor. Taylor is more "NHL-ready" than Tyler. I think it's worth the wait for Tyler, for Edmonton. Neither player will be a bad selection.

Chicago now up, 6-3, in the 3rd period, with 9:00 left in regulation time. Vancouver's dreams of reaching the CF are painfully slipping away. Let's face it, this is a 'must win' game for Vancouver. And they've given up HOW MANY goals? Answer: Six, and counting. Toews have 5-points in this game. One more and he'll set a Blackhawks record.
May 8th, 2010
1:55 am
It looks like the Black Hawks are going to make it to the next round. Well, they have a hard working group of young players, and perhaps could deserve winning this round and moving on and staying alive. But one thing really gets me riled up. WHEN?, is someone from Vancouver gonna put Bufflin (the way it should be spelled) on his ass? You`ve got a franchise goalie in Luongo. You need to do whatever it takes to get him away from the net. Don`t tell me he`s too big. He`s not that good of a skater. A good defenseman should beat him to the puck a majority of the time. Others, who are close to his size have to keep him from shoving their goalie and the puck into the net for a cheap goal that should have never been allowed. We can only hope in a future matchup he can find himself against a Pronger or Chara. Pullease give me someone who will go after this guy!
May 8th, 2010
2:01 am
Can`t somebody in a Vanciuver uniform knock Bufflin on his … ? Your franchise goaltender deserves better defensive help than he is getting.

We trade the 8th pick, to Chicago for buff/sharp and we throw in a second and a prospect. Chicago needs to clear salary. And I'd love what buff/sharp bring. We lose the 8th but get 2 quality nhl players.
I hope we trade the 8th for someone who can help us now. We don't need another prospect.
If iggy is available. Toss them the njd pick, third round, and machachek/odell plus another young player.
May 8th, 2010
6:36 am
Actually we do need prospects and a certain type of prospect, a top 6 forward with upsiade type prospect.
Hold on to the 8th pick, take Niederriter or Burmistrov with Connolly as the alternate should he fall due to his injury history.
The NJ pick should be very available, packaged with a sweatener or two (MacArthur and a 4th rounder) it could get a young slightly overpaid top 6 winger from a cap strapped team.
May 8th, 2010
7:05 am
Keep all picks in the Top60.
Dudley doesn't strike me as a GM who is willing to sell the future, when his team is not ready for a deeper playoff run. Thrashers history suggests that most of the quality ATL UFA's will be gone and it's moronic to sacrifice a high pick when the team will not make the playoffs.
Thrashfan01, I vote no on Burmistrov. He doesn't have a lot of upside and may only turn out to be a Stephen Weiss type of player (similar development path.)
May 8th, 2010
7:44 am
Nothing wrong with Stephen Weiss that a few more players to skate with wouldn't help. His helpers, David Booth and Nathan Horton, were hurt for much of this past season and he performed very well.
I think the value of a No. 8 pick won't yield more than a roster player. If you want a top-6 forward, Dudley's going to have to dig deeper in terms of toss-ins to any deal for that type of player. If you expect a proven 25- to 27-year-old proven top-6 guy, No. 8 alone simply will not do it. No way you get Byfuglien and Sharp for a 1st, 2nd and a prospect.
May 8th, 2010
7:47 am
Given out draft history (new GM notwithstanding) We need talent to help us win and make the playoffs now!
May 8th, 2010
7:49 am
Sell the future? How many years are we going to wait for thye future? Sheesh!
May 8th, 2010
8:20 am
I agree Real. This team needs to make the playoffs and perhaps advance to the second round to appease the few fans they have left. As Dudley said, the first round has been very good for players who play in the NHL, particularly from 2001-2006, but if No. 8 doesn't project to provide immediate help within two years, then I believe a trade makes more sense for the Thrashers at this point in time, particularly with the additional first round pick. The bad thing is that they swap with the Devils in Round 2 and have no 3rd or 4th round pick (MacArthur).
May 8th, 2010
8:21 am
Do you realize how long it took Weiss, until he was finally producing decent numbers in the NHL? I don't want to wait this long. p.s. Rumors out of the KHL suggest that Burmistrov could return to Russia, as soon as next season. Personally, I stay away from any Russian prospect.
The 2009 draft wasn't only the best draft in Thrashers history, overall it was one of the best of all teams in 2009. We finally have a GM who knows how to draft. I don't think that the casual Thrasher fan has realized how lucky we are to have Dudley. Now, you have the chance to build a contender like many other team have done before (Chicago, Boston, Washington, Phoenix.) You can shift to a win now mentality when your prospect pipeline is stocked with quality. Atlanta is more than a couple of players away from being a serious contender and I prefer to stick to the building process, until the younger Thrashers (with plenty RFA years) are carrying the team and not UFA's.
Adding Versteeg (forget about Sharp…the Blackhawks will not trade such a good playoff guy) doesn't make up for the likely loss of Afinogenov and Kubina. It makes zero sense to waste a high pick and still sit outside the playoffs.
May 8th, 2010
8:21 am
I agree with The Real Thrash…I say trade the pick(S) and a prospect or 2, for Sharpe, IF that's what it takes. Bogo and Kane, the last 2 top picks will shine next year under a "real" Coach. (keeping my fingers crossed). If the Thrash go into next year with the same 2 goalies, we must have better defensive coverage and better 2 way play out of our forwards. Last I recollect, Sharpe fits that bill.
May 8th, 2010
8:31 am
Edmonton in 2007 and Toronto in 2009 are good examples of teams, which were also more than a couple of players away from being a serious contender. Yet, both teams chose to sacrifice high drafts picks on Penner and Kessel. The moves backfired (long term for EDM) in a nice fashion and it will take both teams some time to make up for the losses.
May 8th, 2010
9:17 am
Not much. But I'd sign whoever we draft. Just don't expect a Kane or Bogo.
May 8th, 2010
9:22 am
JF-thanks for your thoughts on Gonchar. He is an offensive d-man, but also spends alotta time on the ice at the end of close games. That speaks for his d-, 2 or 3 year deal.
Gonna be tough to talk Chicago into letting Buff or Sharp go and if the cost is #8, I'd say it is too high. Get a player at #8 and play with #24, which is still a good pick. If you are dealing with Chicago, I would focus more on Versteeg, who I think would come easier. I do not like trading ANY top 10 pick.
Chicago needs a dance partner that can help them with long term cap relief, so in my view, the partner has the upper hand. To that end, do we work a deal to take Campbell as part of the process? Soupie is overpaid and the Hawks know it. Campbell and Versteeg for #24. Hawks get massive relief and the still get a #1.
May 8th, 2010

Not to avoid the subject of today's blog, but here are Eklund's top 20 UFA goalie prospects-
1. Chris Mason 2. Evgeni Nabokov 3. Jose Theodore 4. Dan Ellis
5. Martin Biron 6. Mike Brodeur 7. Antero Niittymaki 8. Vesa Toskala
9. Robert Esche 10. Marty Turco 11. Manny Fernandez 12. Michael Leighton
13. Peter Budaj 14. Johan Hedberg 15. Ray Emery 16. Many Legace
17. Wade Dubielewicz 18. Andrew Raycroft 19. Patrick Lalime 20. Joey MacDonald
Top 4 are number ones, the rest, except for Moose do not interest me. I still say Theodore is a darkhorse here.
May 8th, 2010
9:42 am
Nino or Pysyk, stay away from the Russian here so we do not have to deal with KHL BS.
Staying consistent with my thoughts on Gonchar-we need to get a clear #1 d-man on this team, now or for in the future. Pysyk could be that #1.
May 8th, 2010
9:46 am
W.B.F- Going to have to agree that Versteeg is a much more likely target from the 'hawks-I also like his game, we have enough "scoring" centers that are more effective on the wing a la' Sharp or our own Kane. We need people down the middle, and Versteeg's strong two-way play is something every team would like to have. But I disagree completely on Campbell. After the way their O-ffense ground to a crawl when Campbell was out earlier this year, I doubt they let him go for anyone not named Rafalski-granted, he's probably making more than his talent-level alone would dictate, but that's not on him, that's on Dave Tallon.
I am hoping for a playmaking pivot with that #8 pick-however I'm fine with "best player available". Burmistrov is an intriguing option as he is just that, and has been a proven performer on the big stage (WJC's '10 OHL FInals etc.)-he was able to put up 16 pts in 17 games… not too shabby for his first year playing "Canadian style" hockey. I also like that he dedicated himself to playing with more physicality even before he arrived in Frostbackland.-Also, we've got a few Russians on our squad. That helps I think-read the interview and notice how he mentions that his english "is strong enough to make speeches in the room[sic]" I like that quote especially when you see he deosn't feel he's ready for the press-it seems as if he has some leadership fire in his belly-that's good.

Does anybody look at hockeysfuture.com? We are ranked 7th in the NHL in terms of prospect future. Our Top 5 Prospects: 1. Carl Klingberg, LW, 2. Ivan Vishnevskiy, D, 3. Jeremy Morin, C, 4. Patrice Cormier, C, 5. Spencer Machacek, RW.
So all I'm saying is if we don't get El Nino we are still loaded with prospects. That saying, we can trade the 8th pick, but I'd take Nino first over Sharp. Our 25th pick can be an awesome sweetner.
Here the link http://www.hockeysfuture.com/nhl_organisation_rankings/?start=6
Take a look at TOP PROSPECTS also, our Evander Kane is 12th, Klinger is 48th and Vishnevskiy closes out the top 50
May 8th, 2010
11:25 am
Ryan Johansen looks like a good center prospect that can contribute in a year or so if Dudley goes the prospect route. He looks like he fits both the best player available (maybe, at #8) and the draft for need criteria.
Article: Johansen picked up the WHL pace in a strong way
March 26, 2010
"He has good on-ice vision and also angles well on the forecheck," Central Scouting's B.J. MacDonald, who scouts Western Canada prospects, told NHL.com. "He has the intelligence to play power play as well as penalty kill. He can be shifty and has the ability to beat a defenseman one-on-one. Once he fills out and gains more strength he could turn raw talent into a valuable center at both ends of rink. He has displayed nice playmaking capabilities and this should continue at next level."

Red Light-We do have a third and fourth round pick. We have Montreal's third round (I don't remember how) and Dallas's fourth round from the Kari trade. This is all from a past blueland blog. Here is the complete list of draft picks we have this year from ben wright
We have our 1st round pick and NJ's 1st round pick
We have NJ 2nd round pick
We have MTL 3rd round pick
We have DAL 4th round pick
We have our 5th and CHI 5th round picks
We have our 6th round pick

Goose – good catch on the 3rd and 4th rounds. We got the 3rd from MTL in the Mathieu Schneider deadline deal in 2009; lucky for us the conditional pick wound up a 3rd rather than 4th but MTL could spoil that by beating PIT.
As for the #8 pick, I think the target should be Ryan Johansen. Reading the article, I think he's just what we need: a playmaking C who can make his teammates better. His stock is rising to the point that we'll be lucky to get him at our spot.
If he gets tabbed before we have a chance to get him, then sliding back to #12 or so in order to get an earlier 2nd rounder and a young RFA for our #8 might be an attractive option since Jeremy Morin's teammate and set up man, Jeff Skinner is likely going to be available closer to #12 thru #15.
Now I need to go scour rosters for potential RFAs worth trading the #8 pick if there are any.

Yung – Many of us are members of the Hockey's Future forums. The Thrashers section is a road less traveled, but we're there.
May 8th, 2010
1:30 pm
Holding top draft picks is paramount to developing long-term success for under the salary cap budgeted NHL franchises. I agree with Acer in that Dudley should keep all top-60 draft picks unless an RFA-aged player becomes available.
Trading for Patrick Sharp with the 8th overall pick would be careless asset management. A UFA in two years, Sharp will collect paychecks of $4.1 million in 10-11 and $4.2 million in 11-12. How confident are Thrasher fans that Atlanta will have a perennial playoff roster by 2011-12 to convince Sharp to stay longer? With our luck of retaining UFAs?
If the Thrashers hold onto the 8th overall pick and select Brett Connolly, Nino Niederreiter, or Ryan Johansen (one of these three should be available), then Atlanta is likely to get between five and seven seasons of hockey service.
I'd prefer that Dudley retains the New Jersey pick (23rd or 24th) because there is likely going to be some talented players remaining, but if a deal comes along that makes the current roster better and general sense to building a team… then I'll be content.
@Yung JB, HockeysFuture isn't exactly the greatest source for detailed prospect analysis (Paul Postma is ranked 15th on their list). One person cannot aptly scout an entire prospect pool. Aside from Jeremy Morin, most of the Thrashers top forward prospects (Machacek, Klingberg, Cormier) have the skill set of bottom six NHL players. Guys like Angelo Esposito, Eric O'Dell, and Daultan Leveille are long shots to play top six minutes in the NHL.
Adding a surefire top six style player, like Johansen, Niedderreiter, or Connolly, greatly improves the Thrashers' depth at forward, keeps the roster young, and likely the 2010 8th overall pick sees NHL time in 2-3 years.
May 8th, 2010

Off topic, but IF the Wings can win tonight, would you bet against them winning the series? Think about it…series goes to 3-2 in favor of Sharks with game 6 in Detroit. Gotta say I'd like the home team in that one. Then a return to the Shark Tank for game 7. Think Jumbo Joe and the boys would be squeezing their sticks a little tight in that one?
San Jose's confidence was soaring after going up 3-0. Took a bit of a hit in the game 4 loss, but failing tonight at home would certainly get them thinking "oh no…not again!" Of course, they SHOULD win…they're the better overall team, they have better goaltending, and they're at home. But you never know…

Tony C-doesn't CHI still have the rights to Jonsson?
Depends on how much they need the cap relief AND if they can get the relief by mving Huet to Mars or somewhere further away. I like Versteeg too, bet Boston is kicking themselves for trading him to Chicago.
Jung-some good news if we can parlay 2 prospects into roster spots next season.

May 8th, 2010
6:53 pm
W.B.F.-Good point, I have no idea… But yeah that Huet contract is a dog, and in fact, that's something I'd like to ask Dudley about specifically-WTF happened with the gross over-valuation on Campbell & Huet (in regard to their contract costs)? How does he plan on not having similar cap-tedious contracts burden this cost-conscious organization? Trixie, maybe you could forward the gist of that question over to C-Viv for the next Dudley interview.
May 8th, 2010
7:58 pm
Guys – Jonsson is an UFA this summer. That's one big reason they made the trade so they could save $3M + by getting rid of Barker. They still need to shed $7-8 M I believe to get under the cap.
Had CHI choked in the first round vs NSH they might've been more willing to part with Soupy or Sharp, but I'm thinking Versteeg will be expendable as Buffy is showing how valuable an asset he is in a physical playoff series.
If we were to slide back to #12 or 13, we might be able to get our hands on a prospect and an earlier 2nd rounder. Then turn around and flip that prospect or another like Vish and our late 2nd rounder for Versteeg. I really like Skinner and he may be available at 12-15 if there is a run on wings between 6 and 12 with Connolly, Nino, Etem, Mcfarland and Johansen all in the mix after the three prized D-men go in picks 3 thru 5.
May 8th, 2010
10:28 pm
The draft is a crap-shoot. Even so, I am not a fan of trading draft picks. The more picks you have, the better the chance of landing a player that can stick in the NHL. If we need a veteran player we should sign an UFA that wants to play here, rather than trade assets for a player that may not want to be here.
I think Dudley will go with a forward at #8 ie.. Nino, Johansen, or Etem; then with the NJ pick… a defenseman with size, who ever the is left out of Forbort, Petrovic, McIlrath, or Tinordi.
May 8th, 2010
11:56 pm
Curly, I agree. My rule of thumb is, "you don't trade Top 10 overall picks. Select someone." With pick # 25, I'm far more liberal. That's a pick I'd be willing to part with. At # 25, you've got some options. There are at least three that I can readily think of, aside from just picking someone with it. (1) Try to move up. Offer your 2nd round pick to move up to #19 or #20 or #21, if there's a player you covet that's still on the board. Statistically-speaking, that's probably a very smart strategy. (2) Trade it for a player, say an RFA. (3) Trade down, if it makes sense. If there's a team picking at # 27, # 28, or # 29 that also possesses a pick before # 40, you might offer up pick #25 for say, pick #29 and #38 in the draft. I don't have some team specifically in mind, I'm talking hypothetically. If the Thrashers did that, I wouldn't scream about it. UNLESS there was still a player at # 25 that was an absolute 'no-brainer' to take, if still on the board. Like I said, 'trading down' has to make sense. You don't trade down to eventually land Alex Bourret.

Red Wings and Sharks are tied, 1-1, in the 3rd period, with 17:00 left in regulation. If this thing does go to overtime, and the Red Wings win, it will raise the hairs on the back of the necks of the fans of the San Jose Sharks. Let's not forget, Detroit took a one-goal lead into the 3rd period in Game Two, but lost. In Game Three, Detroit lead by 2-goals, in the 3rd period, and lost. So, really, San Jose is 'fortunate' to be up, 3-1. If Detroit had held those leads, this game would be an elimination game for them.
Penalty shot!!!!

Penguins fans breathed a sigh of relief, as Montreal scored in the final minute of regular to cut the lead to, 2-1. Pittsburgh held on for the win. Penguins lead the series, 3-2. I think Montreal vs. Pittsburgh has been the best series of the Conference semi-finals. Agree or disagree?

Rawhide, when I read the title of this blog,
"What is the number eight pick worth?," I must admit that I heard the voice of Austin Power, (International Man of Mystery,) saying, "Who does Number Two work for?"
Marleau scores for San Jose! 2-1, Sharks.
May 9th, 2010
12:38 am
I could argue that Marleau's goal shouldn't have happened. There's four people on the ice who saw what happened to Franzen, and yet there was no penalty.
Unfortunately, the Wings couldn't win their faceoff (big surprise there)…

Tony-I think the Huet and Campbell contracts are 2 reasons why Tallon got the ax. But they would be good questions for Duds. Duds is good, but he's not perfect and if he was party to these contracts, I hope he's learned his lesson at Chicago's expense.
Smoothie-thanks, where has Jonsson been lately? I am with you Curly, unless one of these cap stressed teams wants to make a deal and needs some type of compensation in return to save face. I'll take NHL-ready talent from a winner anytime.
Hate to harp folks, but I think we need a #1 or #2 defenseman more than anything else. We can't move forward with a bunch of #3 and #4 d-men making up our entire corp. We need a minutes eater on the back line. I pushed to sign Dennis Siedenberg last summer and he wound up in Florida, playing 25-28 minutes / game. He may not be the answer, but he is a UFA this summer and he is what we need-that type of player. You need 4 d-men that can shut down the ice with a lead late in a game, shorten the game and protect a lead. #1, goalie and identify your 4 top d-men.

I am not a Wings' fan, but I sure do have alotta respect for their players, coaches and management. Just think how good the NHL would be if every team was ran as well as Detroit. I speculated last week that I thought the Wings were tired because they have played so many games. Versus had a piece on the fact that Detroit has played more games than any other team since 2006. Catches up with you.
RL-Thornton got a monkey off his back last night, more than any other Shark. It will be interesting to see how far San Jose will go now, having got past Detroit.

RE: Trading the 23rd or 24th overall pick for an RFA aged player
Rumblings and speculation out of Buffalo suggest that both Drew Stafford and Tim Connolly could be available this offseason. Connolly is a super skilled, but injury riddled expensive option ($4.5 million for next year before coming a UFA).
However, Drew Stafford is making an affordable $2.3 million next year before becoming a RFA for the 2011 offseason. Struggling with consistency from year to year, Stafford has shown the ability put up top six level production after potting 20 goals and 25 assists in 2008-09. Sabre's fans finally believed that Stafford was developing into his billing as a power forward at 6-2, 216-pounds.
This year was a step back for Stafford as he had just 14 goals and 34 points. At 24-years old, Stafford still has room to grow and a change of scenery could jumpstart his career. Depending on the Thrashers can do in terms of retaining free agents, Stafford could be a top six or top nine winger for Dudley's assembled roster. Say Armstrong and Afinogenov re-sign and the Thrashers trade for Stafford…
Bergfors – Antropov – Afinogenov
Kane – Peverley – Little
Stafford – Slater – Armstrong
Boulton/Artyukhin – Reasoner – Thorburn
If Little struggles again, Stafford can step right into the top six. Just a thought… I get the feeling that Sharp/Versteeg may not be as available as everybody thinks this summer.

Zim, I'd guess with Dudley's past and present ties to Buffalo (I think he has a home there) , he is quite familiar with the Buffalo players, including Stafford. Prospects, too.
Regardless of what I may propose or speculate about, my current stance is "In Dudley We Trust" until I see reason to doubt him. Nobody is perfect but he seems to be a knowledgeable NHL guy who is well above 50% as a talent evaluator. And let's face it, in the near term all Dudley has to do is build a consistent 5-8 team that has a chance to advance to be a success. That also puts the Thrashers as contending for the SE division crown each year.

Zim – I like how you're thinking but we already have Clarke MacArthur. I think mgmnt already feels the same way about C-Mac and his ability to play 3rd line or even top 6 minutes when warranted (hot hand). Wish we HAD gotten Stafford over C-Mac, but alas we need a scrappy player who can play the pivot as well like Lombardi, UFA from PHX.
