I am calling top 5 d next year


offense maybe brutal

Until I know who the coordinator is, I'll reserve judgment. Though whoever it is will have their work cut out for them as currently, it appears the QB will be Cardale Jones.

If they plan to start the season with him as their starting guy, I'm officially not watching anymore, because that's just atrocious.

A top 5 defense with Tyrod this team is probably playing this weekend and losing to the Pats at Gillette...

Broncos finalizing offensive blockbuster: McCoy as OC; Bill Musgrave as QB coach. Big for Joseph/Elway to get that kind of talent.

Eric Staal sure is looking like a hell of a signing for Minnesota.

Put him on Eichels wing for the rest of the year. See what happens.

It's next to no risk, and maybe it pays off.

I fell like you nailed a lot of what went down last night Michael. Jack needs to step up and be a difference-maker. Yeah his line mates aren't the greatest right now but he needs to carry that line regardless of who is on it. Having said that, I do like how he shot the puck last night...he came close a couple of times, he put a lot on a couple of those shots. That's where his money is at. Not many guys can bury from distance on a good old wrist shot...but he can. I was also baffled as to why Disco took him off his off-wing on the pp. Why would you ever do that? Again, not many guys can tee up a one-timer like Jack can...don't waste that weapon.

Someone posted earlier about moving one of the three centres to wing. Maybe they should try Eichel on Sam's wing. Imagine Eichel flying up the wall (he does anyways) but now he's got Sam in a better spot to distribute (which I feel he is more superior to Eichel in that regard anyways). One of Jack's best moves is stepping off the half boards, cutting to middle and ripping it top shelf. Maybe try him there. They've tried everything else.
BINGO!

Happy for that guy. He's having fun again. Pretty hard to skate when you've been dragging around a franchise for 10 years.

The guy is very talented. I don't see why not. He's been in doghouse after doghouse, maybe if he had some consistent playing time that talent could come out.

It would never work with Bylsma here though. He'd be on the fourth line before he even got off the bus.
