I think more Yashin

Yeah, I was thinking Yashin as well...a bit of Fedorov as well.

Solid pictures.

Bauer 8090s are great skates and can be bought at a reasonable price on closeout. You cant go wrong with the Graf 700 series. They may be expensive but they are about $100-$150 cheaper than other high end skates such as Synergy 1300s, Vapor XXXs, and RBK 8k & 9k. In my opinion, their performace is just as good if not better than the skates I listed. Graf makes a boot to fit several different foot types. The 703 fits a narrow foot, the 705 fits a midsize foot (similar to ccm fit), the 709 fits a wide foot with a high instep, etc. The Graf 700 series skates are comfortable if you get the right boot and size. They are also very durable. My last pair of 709s lasted me over 2 years and they still are in pretty good shape.

I've heard a lot of good reviews on the Bauer 8090's....fair pricing on a decent boot.

Always been curious to trying Grafs as well.

Cool...

My 1052 Tacks are still in good shape but I cant see them lasting another full year.

I'm trying to figure out what to go with....I'm not picky with boots or names.

Probably stick to either CCMs again or back to Bauers.

What do you think is the best skate at the best price ??
