He needs to be with KO and JT. He needs to be the first guy signed after the season.

honestly do not want to put pressure on the kid w/1st line
rather have him on 3rd line w/strome & nelson

let the kids play together and gain experience w/o pressure
successful teams do not rush their prospects and are rewarded for it..

I think Lee can handle it. I'm fine with Lee starting on a third line with Strome and Nelson if needed. Just do not want any crap FA forwards signed like Regin and PMB and putting them on the 1st line. Lee is not an 18 year old kid. He can fit very well with JT and KO. Isles cannot sleepwalk during Oct and Nov again.

There really is no difference between 4-5 no guarantee about any of these guys plus its a crapshoot when it comes to who they will draft.That Delcolie (sp) looks pretty good as well

Sure there is... we got Nino... Blue Jackets got...Johansen.

If one of the big 3 drop out we miss them.

Over 2% difference in the lottery.

We may fall to 6th!!!

No good.

I would rather have 4th over 5th pick right now.

We also passed on fowler. I was hopping we would've picked him.

Exit interviews being conducted by Garth Snow, Jack Capuano and coaching staff... First indication that Capuano will be back next season.

Justin Johnson looks like a tank with a jersey. That shot on Scott was viscous. Too bad he can't play a lick.

Thank God the season is over. So disappointed overall. Nice to see kids like Nelson, Strome, Lee, Hickey and de Haan have great years. Nice to see KO and Nielsen Also have great years. But way too many passengers among the vet players, way too inconsistent and disappointing that there was no structure or direction provided to this group by the coaching staff. A .500 home record and this team was on the cusp of being in the playoffs, if not in as a wild card.

When I got to the arena... I see this guy running in the corridor with an Isles t shirt, shorts, and long socks on.

Thinking... what is tha guy doing? Kinda strange.

Turns out it was Johnson...

He went for a jog before the game.

He just looks like a tough SOB. Turns out he actually is one too. He reminds me of Clubber Lang without a Mohawk.

A listless team with no direction will be par for the course next season. Capuano will be back to his stupidity next year bcs Snow will allow it to happen. Expect more of the same.

Nothing changes until there's a new owner in place. Until wang is gone, we have Snow. And it looks like he's keeping F.F..

That's really been the only bright spot all year. Pretty much everything else was a total failure.

Totally agree.... Would be nice to see Lee-Nelson-Strome line next year to form a definite line for now & future, but I think that would be asking for much
or maybe a bright idea

DeHaan was a pleasant surprise or was he? He was suppose be really good, just had injuries to hinder his ice time, so I'm real glad he stayed healthy most of the year & hope for the rest of his career.

Czuczman showed promise in a small sample size, glad he's friends w/JT & Strome or else we'd be shat out of luck.

I don't like the idea of Lee on the first line. I like the idea of the tight-wad owner and sleepy at the wheel GM going out and signing a legit veteran scoring LW to slot in there with JT and KO. Not PMB or Boyes, a real scoring threat. That allows Lee to play second line and provides the team with depth. There was nowhere near enough depth with this team this season.

Keep Strome, Nelson and Lee together. They work together. They can grow together. Let Frans center Grabs and either Clutterbuck or Bailey, if they are still here next year. Keep Cizikas with Martin and McDonald and Boulton as a spare. I could live with that group. You'll get the secondary scoring you never get from Grabs and Bailey from Nelson, Strome and Lee

Welcome to the Wolfpack keaner. Those should be some funny exit interviews with Garth and Cappy involved.
