Yeah, don't wanna become the new Flames.

I'm really not sure what the best course of action is... I don't want to become the new Flames but I also don't want to be terrible and be a bottom feeder (i.e. the Oilers) for the next 3 years. I really wouldn't mind having this team gutted but not for pure prospects/picks. Unfortunately player for player trades never happen at the deadline

Exactly. Guys like Raymond ZHiggins Lapierre could all be second and third round picks . Kesler Edler firt round picks plus a very good player back.

Now what would this franchise do with all those picks? They would only (frank) it up. Poor track record doesn't instill confidene.

I agree with this. It was only two seasons ago that this team was at the top of its game. The twins were unstoppable. Balance through all 4 lines.

This is all on Gillis and AV. Could not make the necessary adjustments. So close.

That same team that made the SCF scored 8 goals in 7 games . Last year they struggled for goals and continuing this year.

We have seen years of the cyle .We have seen years of shooting from the perimiter.

We can sit back and hope it gets better but I doubt it. If you have a wart on your ass and sit on it all the time and hope itgets better it just usually gets bigger. I don't think there is a coach out there that can make this same personel crash nets and stop the Sedins from cycling

If the cards are played right this could be a Ottawa like turn around. Only difference is the Sens had a better prospect pool to start with and Van. has a better overall roster. Van. should be able to revamp without missing the playoffs, but not expect to be a dominant president trophy team for a long while.

Danny and Hank are great at the cycle so let them continue it. If we had a 2nd and 3rd line that could come at you with speed and a bit of size then everything would be okay. Unfortunately we tried to address this with Booth and Kassian. Zack's time will come but Booth has been bust thus far. ..

We're franked.

On the plus side Higgins has had a decent game!

Burrows deserved that. The guy keeps playing hard.

I swear, if we end up tying this game and somehow winning in OT/SO it may go down as one of the all time troll jobs

2 fluke goals. False hope guys, don't buy it!




I'm hoping for a loss.

Looking like a different game now...

Nice. Burrows is upping his trade value

Pretty sure you can cancel or delay those.

Another loss = higher pick.

We don't even abandon the dump & chase when the clock doesn't have enough time for a dump & chase... These guys are system brainwashed.

Jensen isn't ready.
