Make a trade for Rakell Murray! a 2nd and a conditional 3rd that becomes a 2nd if we make the playoffs. Obviously a contract would be necessary for the deal to happen in the first place.

This will probably be the year they win it, the one year there isnt a mcdavid, eichel or matthews at the top.

I've heard good things about Luke Richardson..the coach for the Binghamton Senators

EDIT: by the looks of it "Former" B-Sens coach.....maybe we give him a ring

I honestly dont think at full strength its a bad team, but the defence is shaky at best and the guys up front who were supposed to in theory make up for that are now down two regulars, one of them being eichel. Depending on where they find themselves in december it may not be the worst thing to go for a consolidation year. Regain some assets then go big in the off season. Move the pick if need be.

Not really. Ill still take it over they years of 9th place. It's a set back, an unfortunate one, but it could work out long term.

the thing that scares me is all the players/former players coming out and saying that Jack wont be 100% this season.

Its the type of injury that you feel all year, even after the 6-8 weeks.

There will be some discomfort for a while, thats the nature of the injury. Hence my desire to look towards 17-18

I wonder who will go down in or before game 1 next year with a high ankle sprain. Hopefully ROR or Reinhart.

move any combination of these guys for assets, add it to the top draft pick you could make a real splash.

Do you see anything else that would give you a reason to think otherwise?
