Rich so what is your opinion of Jade then? If he showed half the guts, commitment, will to win as pelts showed i would be happier about him, i realise you play so you see things i miss, but he always appeared to be giving 110% every game, whereas Jade appears to be picking up the money for very little, so just wondered how you would equate the two players! Fair question! Jade is still new though, I didnt dislike Pelletiers style after a few weeks, it took months of him not learning from his mistakes before it grated on me If Jade doesnt improve, people stop giving him allowances and get on his back. However hes got potential and could turn it around, compared to SP who didnt have the top level experience. Thats the only thing in his favour and since you asked my opinion, Id be looking out for guys who can bring more to the team if I was Corey. On a personal level, I dont mind average forwards, I just dislike Defensemen who arnt in a position to defend a lot of the time. Hence I like Ferrara as a third line winger but cringe everytime he steps over the boards at the moment. But would we not have seriously missed Neilson and SP's points last year had they hung around the blue line scratching their butts? Offensive D men are valuable to a team.

Dont put Neilson in the same context as Pelts. I fully understand the value of offensive D men to a team, thats not the issue. Personally, if I had any say in an elite league club id bust a gut to get a genuine offensive D man. Examples of offensive D men, Tyson Teplitski, Neal Martin, Jason Becker, Kevin Hoffman, Ben Storey. Steve Pelletiers season with us last season does NOT put him in the same context as those guys
