Why not start a fantasy hockey thread or go to a fantasy hockey board? I'm sure you'll find the discussion more to your liking there.
Personally, I am more interested in debating whether to re-sign a player than to speculate on a player's production this year, his role on the team, and "things of that nature." In reality though, everything is connected. If one is of the opinion that Stempniak shouldn't be re-signed, speculating Stempniak's production next season, who he'll play with, and his role on the team is rather pointless. If your'e of the opinion that Stempniak should be re-signed, you'll likely see Stempniak being in a certain production range, playing with certain players, and having a certain role on the team. But the discussion should almost always start with "should this player be a part of the Calgary Flames organization?"
