Going to be a beast and then selfishly I get to watch a flames prospect in person for a couple years, hasn't happened since Backlund and Grantham were here.

He doesn't really fight though so he might get passed on grounds of non-truculent.
Boo these men!

Steve Downie is good for 30-40 points and a lot of truculence. Gaudreau proved he can play against men in the WC. Monahan who's pretty much Arnold 2.0, and they've had chemistry at the development camp. Colborne is often hanging around the net and that's where Gaudreau will put it. Baertschi can really benefit from a creative veteran, Hudler. And Stajan off his new extension should teach Sven some more D. Bouma is a beast and I'm sure will earn more playing time. Reinhart could be replaced by Galiardi if we qualify him but we need to see if Reinhart can take his game to the next level. Morin is in a Colborne situation but we could offer sheet him at 1.2m and wouldn't pay a pick. CHI won't be able to afford him. Or trade a 4th/5th for him. D.Jones can hopefully bounce back but I have no problem with him sitting in the presser and helping us make the floor. Big Ern provides leadership and truculence.
And three boos for him!

Can I just point out the irony of you behaving in a truculent fashion in your disdain for the word "truculent"?

Though I agree with the general principle. This joke was tired even before Burke was fired by Toronto.

But hey, as long as he doesn't start trading off skilled players in return for 'big, truculent' wingers, then I'm fine.

Sounding like we'll just stand pat, which I'm fine with.

No I'm being defiant, aggressive, antagonistic, combative, belligerent, pugnacious, confrontational, ready for a fight, obstreperous, argumentative, quarrelsome, uncooperative.

I was also about three generous glasses of wine deep at that point last night. However, there is no excuse for this morning.

I know that "T" word is overused, so let's use another one of Burke's words: Belligerence
