Been saying this for a while... If we're gonna suck, let's do so cause our young guys are making mistakes, not cause we ice a team of slugs
- JoeRussomanno


Well, that's a good point. If we're going to stink and have our guys make all kinds of mistakes, they might as well be kids who can learn rather than vets who are generally devoid of skill. You can't win with 3 4th lines.

Sans Ghost I'd be fine if MDZ was the only guy they brought back. They can always sign a cheap vet or two. Sanhiem is nowhere near the NHL imo


Gudas absolutely needs to go though.

- hereticpride


I haven't heard much on the Sanheim front. Only that he's currently hurt. Morin can take Gudas' role of the physical player. Shultz can go. Trade Streit. Manning there for depth but really whatever about him. Can't see Medvedev being back but I can live with it if he is.

Ppl bring up how, it's rushing them and whatever, but really i think this fan base is beaten into apathy, so expectations are in the basement. I'm a big believer in learning by experience. There's no reason a guy like Morin can't be brought up by next season. If it were up to me I'd see what he can do now. There's no hockey god that will be shamed if a prospect comes up to play. Hell we have couturier and ghost up here now. Don't hear anyone crying to semd them down.

Such a cheap play at the end. Not sure who it was but a Ranger wound up and fired a slap shot right at Read

Edit: McIlrath did it and Read is having trouble getting off the ice

I'd look at demers in fa. Go del zotto, gostisbhrere, alt, Morin, and provorov. Try to use one of my extra second or third rounders and package with Macdonald to. Move him.

It's pretty bad... The early 90's teams were right there too.

Fitting then this is likely to be the first time since early 90s that they miss the playoffs 2 seasons in a row
