And I don't think it's a stretch to call Handzus a very good two-way center when he was at the top of his game. Besides, calling someone who's scored between 44 and 58 points in each of his full seasons except his rookie year (and the injury-shortened ones would give 59 and 82 scaled over a full season) before last year a "40-point scorer" seems strange.<BR/><BR/>But it remains to be seen if last year's Handzus is the new norm or if he still had some lingering effects from his injury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-55525227047856089192008-09-06T20:24:00.000-07:002008-09-06T20:24:00.000-07:00Yeah, I don't know with Handzus.

I think if you put him with Brad Richardson and maybe Matt Moulson, two speedy guys that can create their own shot, Handzus would play well. He definitely needs to improve his quickness to stay in the league, though.RudyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935847996131016457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-22478350142842559032008-09-06T20:17:00.000-07:002008-09-06T20:17:00.000-07:00I didn't know a 40 point scorer in his thirties wa...I didn't know a 40 point scorer in his thirties was considered elite.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Then again, someone out there genuinely believed the term applied to Meszaros, so who knows?VeryProudofYahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057749532577699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-40477633907124368762008-09-06T19:54:00.000-07:002008-09-06T19:54:00.000-07:00Now this post has very little to do with what I'm ...Now this post has very little to do with what I'm going to speculate about (well, Handzus was mentioned), but what if Handzus bounces back? That's one angle about the Kings that I just haven't seen this summer, everyone seems to expect him to be an underachiever who sucks.<BR/><BR/>So, Rudy, how do you see the Kings' situation if Michal decides to be the player that he's capable of being and you suddenly have an elite one-two center duo with Handzus playing an awesome two-way game?<BR/><BR/>Granted, if you take every single Kings speculation and turn it in their favor (Labarbera becomes a top-10 starter; every imaginable defense prospect is awesome and ready for the NHL right now; Stoll and Handzus are both 100 % and ready to bounce back, as is Calder; every imaginable forward prospect is ready for the NHL with Purcell et al filling the offensive lines and Cliche et al filling the defensive lines) they seem like a Stanley Cup winner, but this Handzus rejuvenation seems like a "but" that's actually a possibility to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-88030283138275605052008-09-06T18:20:00.000-07:002008-09-06T18:20:00.000-07:00Cool, it's like Norm just told a joke in here.Cool, it's like Norm just told a joke in here.RudyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935847996131016457noreply@blogger.com
