That Meszaros and Benoit pairing will get us McDavid or Eichel. Two dman as bad as Weber. A tanking advocate's dream.

Gionta = Rivet.

And Coach Theo will cite a lack of effort.

Rinse and repeat 80 more times and that's our storyline for the season

My god this team REFUSES to shoot the puck. When you suck this bad just put the damn thing on net, what is the worst that can happen, lose 6-2? FFS man, 1 shot in the third period in a tie game?

And Myers, Benoit, Meazaros couldn't be playing worse than Psyk, McCabe and Zadarov would so trade that gangly jerk Myers while he still has value and bench those other two slobs and you're still looking at last place but at least some young guys get some experience.

We are at least 4 years away from a sniff of the playoffs.

Enroth could have played better but when you are screened all night and face 50 shots you let in 6 goals, that being said he should have stopped that shorty and the Kane goal, let alone not let DANIEL CARCILLO score on your.

Blah.

Gionta was never brought here to make an impact on the ice. He's there to teach these young kids good habits.

He certainly isn't telling them to put the puck on net. If you don't have an angle just throw it in front, we are only going to get mostly garbage goals anyway this season.

So the tank is not on or it is on?

I'd agree if they were actually going for it this year. I know people are sensitive to the word tank so I'll just say this, he definitely did not set this team up to succeed.

If they draft high, and i mean really high, then he'll have the flexibility to make some serious moves with the intention of making this team relevant in the standings.

edit: talking about Murray

Out of the 9 goals against this season, Myers has been on the ice for 1. He's also played an average of 25 min. Please don't put him in the same universe as Mezaros or Benoit

Hodgson is a major defensive liability!

Are you really faulting Enroth for the Carcillo goal?? Yikes

So the tank is not on or it is on?

You don't have to tank when you flat out suck.

He looks better than those two, and I wasn't trying to lump him in with them but I think he looks flat, lacks leadership, doesn't seem to have much heart and the return for him would be better than his value even when the team becomes competitive.

Are you really faulting Enroth for the Carcillo goal?? Yikes

No, but it is CARCILLO. Basically Pat Kaleta of the Hawks.

No goalie makes this team competitive !! Enroth has been fine

No, no, no, Magic Man doesn't tank...he just tries for last place.

Yea, a big trade could put them in the lead.

Kids: "Are you?"

We should have a reverse arms race with Carolina.

They trade Staal, we then respond and trade Myers

Why does Myers have to have leadership? And we have no clue what the return is for him. If you think he isn't worth it why would a true real world scout be dooped into thinking he is worth a boat load?

I really could see both happening. Could wind up moving Semin as well.



Wonder if the league would intervene if it looked really obvious? Like if Staal was traded for nothing but picks and prospects (non nhlers) and then a half hour later the sabres did the same with Myers.

Hmm, season 2 of The Wire isn't nearly as captivating as Season 1
