Give up? They all make as much, or more than the "overpaid bum" Ryan Whitney. Now, you look at that list, and tell me you wouldnt rather have him RIGHT NOW over at least (if not more) half the guys on that list? Forget potential. Look at that list people! Sure, there are guys on there that are better, but come on. Zhitnik? Boynton? Derian freakin' Hatcher? I understand you guys get upset because he isn't Ulf Samuelsson in front of his net, and will never get over that he doesnt use his size. I get it. But to act like you can find a better defenseman for the $$$$ we are paying him....I mean seriously, we spent $2.5 on Sydor last offseason, and he is making just as much as Whits. Go ahead and try to tell me he is better. I know it is an isolated instance, but seriously.
I know I will get slammed that this isnt the thread that this should be brought up in, but since shot were taken here, this is where I am putting it. I will wait with baited breath for the rebuttal from the Whits haters.

I think he did state his opinion. The constant drone here about all the negatives of players wears people down. The prices for Dmen are ridiculous.Matthew Monstar wrote:Profiler wrote:What do these defensemen all have in common?

I been sick for 5 days now with this wretched flu. I think it's finally passing.canaan wrote:pcm wrote:So when is the injury bug going to hit LGP.com? I think a few posters could use the rest.
if the people themselves get the flu, that means they stay in from work, class, and the outside world. This actually means they will be at home more and a little bit more bored, equaling in an increase in the number of posts of those users.
so, in closing, i say 'nay' to hoping that those people get sick with the flu. I secretly hope for a really, really unseasonably sunny and warm day.

That's a little ridiculous. I mean, seriously, Whitney has been in the top 10 or 15 in d-man scoring over the past 2 years. He can't just be replaced by an AHL rookie d-man.

Yep, because all of our defensemen are putting up 12 goals and 34 points this year.....what a hack.

Wonder how many goals he has helped put in our own net. I dont hate whitney, I just dont understand the lovefest for Whitney.

Well, right now Whitney has a +1, so apparently he's putting in more goals than he's "helping put in our own net".
