I think Eichel will be back in December.

I think nylander and bailey need to be up now and reinhart moved to center

2 of our top 6 went down in 48 hours


out for many weeks


does murray do something to make this team better, or sit on his hands


if he does nothing, than his talk about how rebuilds do not take 5 years, was all bs

- homiedclown


What can he possibly do? The 2017 first is off the table.

You don't have much else in terms of value that would add a piece significant enough.

Thing is, it was. Even without the injuries.

IMO, rebuilds take 5 years (from where we started)

According to several players/former players he wont be 100% this season.
- ImThatGuy


Maybe maybe not he'll be healthy enough to play around december though. his first few weeks back will be a little painful though. Its a moderate high ankle sprain so ill assume grade 2. Tough but i don't think he'll go an entire year not being 100%

If trying different line combos and bringing up the kids doesn't work, Murray will be on the phone trying to make a deal or 2.

The problem is there's just not deal out there at the moment. If we were losing support/depth guys that'd be one thing, but who can they bring in that will make up for losing a guy like eichel or even kane?

move reinhart to center and call the wings, bolts, or blue jackets for a winger


keep reinhart on the wing and call the wild


a handful of teams want to dump cap


or give nylander and bailey a chance on the top 6

elevating moulson, foligno, gionta etc up a line or 2 is not going to cut it

He will find something I was told but i'm sure some are going to lose it if certain players are moved.

It's become real clear who the keepers and pretenders are on this team. I can't imagine anyone would be upset

Based on ROR's performance last night, he's def not 100% right now.
