He's got Carter on the top line with Vermette and Johansen. I know Wooten disagrees, but I absolutely agree that Pahlsson has been an utter disappointment.
He threw me off by putting it in a sentence instead of just listing it out. I really don't like that top line. No on there has earned their top line minutes.
As far as Wooten and Phalsson. No one is perfect, I'll forgive him this one transgression.
I know its not popular, but I still think if you are trying to make a "Shakeup", this is the best option. Of course, now that Arniel seems to be in the process of being turned on by the media, this is a much more difficult position, Nash has always gotten the media pass and if Arniel would do this, with this team and its putrid record, I think it will be tantamount to job suicide here. I think its something that could have been done earlier in the season, but now, I think the immediate thought would go from "He's trying to light a fire and make guys compete and earn things" to "Nash is his next singled out "Cancer" "
It worked wonders with LeCavalier. Not only is he a better captain now, he's been there the whole time, worked his way back and he "earned" it.
I'm so tired of the way the guys play sometimes, the next game, when they walk into the locker room, there'd be no "C" or "A's" on any jerseys. I wouldn't say anything, I'd just act like normal. See if they say anything.

But Lecavalier was younger when he get "C" in the first time.
