I think Benning is very smart at drafting. Brisebois 3 goals 3 assists 5 games. I think Benning is building a complete team . Boeser Juolevi Demko Lebate Stecher. It will take a couple of years but I think it is doing fine in progressing .

Okay but that's the future which I am with you on that... but about what WD is doing with the roster and the lines .... it's a small point I guess ... cause he can change it but it gives Dragon and others more credibility that WD is not coaching this team the right way....

Why experiment the week off with these line combos instead of build chemistry with lines that can score.... given these players are all good defensively.... so we can question this right

Good news is only 1 day for our season to start.
All this hyped speculation on lines etc matter not to me.
I can watch & observe before commenting.

I agree. Next year get our top center and things will look a lot better.
- VANTEL

That's the plan

Long time til next draft.
TDL might get very interesting.
Can bet on expansion jockeying.

Lost in all of this is WD rolls 4 for lines JB be in Boston they rolled 4 lines.
- Nighthawk

Not lost we know that... question is what should the lines be...? Will they be able to get secondary scoring as is...?

Why experiment now?

I am not WD but I think he was expecting more out of Bo during camp and it didn't happen. Bo was outplayed.

Granlund produced chances . Sutter produced points, so until things change it seems like Bo needs to prove he is the number two and not a number 4.

I agree it looks weird but if it produces results who cares how it looks. If it fails change it.

Well this isn't working, so not sure what you guys expect to happen if we keep drafting 10-20th year after year.

Finally someone who gets it . Nice to have you back posting.

Hopefully the games are entertaining this year, but people here hoping for the playoffs are in a dream land.

Boy the ducks are in trouble with Lindholm. He's skating over in Sweden right now, looks like they have no space after signing Rakell, wonder who they're gonna trade.
- NorthNuck

Some are saying Cam Fowler. His name was floating around at last TDL and again at the draft. Always happy to see Kesler's hand-picked team to get further away from the cup.

You're annoying. Please go back to reading and not writing.

Hope is the stuff dreams are made of.... without it there is no point in playing the games

Does anyone ever really get out?

WD is not saying Bo didn't show enough so he's playing on the 4th. WD said he likes him there cause he'll do more for the team.... so if he does well he stays not move up.... counter to that if the lines fail then WD would change it

Does anyone ever really get out?
- Marwood

Well, the adjustment period is pretty tough, so I've heard.

Why you think we are positing :

- Nuck4U

I think WD is full of Sh1t. Bo got outplayed.. If Bo was an offensive threat WD would not be playing him with Burrows

Remember the old days, there was a dshiddy, ashiddy, cshiddy, and now scoobyshiddydo

So if Burr has the A then he's likely in the line up barring injuy every night and not the 13th forward. So who goes out if Rodin comes back soon barring injuries... and more so who goes down...?

you missed Q shiddy

you missed Q shiddy

I did but there's only one dshiddy

I think WD is full of Sh1t. Bo got outplayed.. If Bo was an offensive threat WD would not be playing him with Burrows
- VANTEL

YEah thats what the thinking is on WD.... but not gettig your reasoning on Bo.... cause then Sutter who did score would have more offensively skilled line mates like Granlund.

WD isn't punishing either of them on their play by his line choices he's seeing they produce better that way .... that's the question here ... small point cause he can change them .... but not best use of week of practice cause they won't get that again with compressed schedule

Remember the old days, there was a dshiddy, ashiddy, cshiddy, and now scoobyshiddydo
- Makita

The best part was that cshiddy and qshiddy were someone else.
