Goaltending is their nemesis.

I've never seen a team worse at tightening up late in games. The Jackets are all over them and of course just scored.

Another excellent blog Michael. I agree that hockey is a team game and calling one player a "saviour" to fix any organization is probably creating expectations that won't be fulfilled. However, I agree with 89 and others - re: the last 2 - 3 years must be considered an epic failure unless we draft in the top 2. Call me selfish but I want what others have gotten over the years that turned around their teams - a true generational talent.

Go Oilers and Yotes Go.

1. Reinhart. If we don't get McEichel, we definitely need him.

2. Hall

3. ? Don't know who will be available.

Well for FA, I wouldn't mind us grabbing Mike Green for 4 years or less to boost up our abysmal PP.

I like Frolik or Soderberg (i know hes a natural centre but..) for one of the RW slots, even if its only temoporary

as in taylor.....

we wont be dealing him.

just for conversations sake, itd have to START with ristolainen.
so yeah, no trade to be made

- hugefemaledog77

Yes, when I typed that up I had meant to say of those who are speculated to be traded. Not saying he will be, but it's always worth a conversation.

Those would be some neat players to add. I have a feeling Winnipeg resigns Frolik but Soderberg may be the odd man out with the cap problems in Boston.

not to say hes untouchable. no one is on a bottom feeder.
but hes our literally our engine.

if everything goes right, nuge and nurse are our conerstones going forward, but until then, it would take a massive package to let hall go.
extremely unlikely

Yeah I do like him a lot and could only imagine how well he could play under an elite center.

Shootout. No ROW either way. Meh. Hope they win but Scrivens isn't the guy I'd be betting on.

Jackets win. Roy and Eberle both had a shot to win it and couldn't.
