Sutton is our only big man on “D”. He helps tremendously on the PK and adds toughness. He lost some weight in the offseason and never really got to show what that would add to his game. “easily expendable” is crazy talk, think again. One more year for Weight? It all depends on the draft. I personally think we need more scoring touch then we do play-making centers. But you have to look at the numbers on the PP without Weight; they don’t lie, he is an asset that adds leadership. Up for debate on this one.

The Crazy Donkey sucks. Except when CLUTCH plays there.

When Freddy Meyer comes back I wouldnt be surprised if Hillen gets sent down…They are similar type players from what Ive seen…

I hope WEIGHT signs somewhere else next year,SUTTON’S to slow i like what’s going on with our team right now both those players are easily expendable

Im happy Sutt’s is back and I’m hopeing the Garth keep’s Doug Weight around…The chances of a successful rebuild are greatly increased with a “High character” guy to show the kids how a professional handles themselves on and off the ice…I don’t think I ever seen a nicer and more positive guy especially with the media and fans than Dougie Weight…I think the “positive attitude” along with his play making skills is a huge asset the Isles need…

It will be interesting to see if they send Hillen down or sit Pock when Sutton comes back. A Hillen/Sutton pairing is much more appealing than Pock/Sutton.

CB:

Why such skepticism regarding DiBenedetto? I read he had a tendency to be inconsistent and the experts were skeptical about his ability to produce without Stamkos. It seems as if all of that has been proven wrong. Are there concerns about his size or ability in jumping to the next level?

witt123 (27)… Not in any detail, we didn’t. Knee injury of some sort, I believe.
