it's my duty to constructively criticize their product.

Ottawa, Winnipeg, Coyotes, Predators, Sharks, Blue Jackets, Wild...... but I guess they don't count because they are newer expansions?

They count too of course, I just included the other five bcus they're the longest without a cup.

I think Makita has binders of options and choices.

The quicker those other teams get a Cup the greater pressure there is on Vancouver ownership to produce a Champion...that a good thing

Ok criticism is fine but what would you do given the circumstances?
FYI U cannot blow it up.

Be patient, as Booner wisely says, but ensure you deal assets at the TDL to pick up as many picks as you possible can. Building takes time. They've gotta stop with the retool mentality though, that annoys me.

You (not you specifically) can't tell me a management team has a rebuild mentality when they've only drafted once in the last three drafts in the second round. That's a manager looking for quick fixes.

So Megna got his one game scratch to come back as gang busters on the fourth. The WD model to have balanced lines that can defend well and balance out scoring. Too bad the players assembled are not skilled enough to finish. Why create two top lines when you can have three 3rd lines and a 5th.

damn, we need more choices.

I have been accused of being a circle jerker, a Lemming, a Walmart Greeter and a Donna....I am starting to become confused on what they all mean.

I am not as a big a fan of the current administration as most think. I just defend them in general as I find people that complain about minor things over and over again rather annoying

So you are saying those 2nd rounders would be better then Sven and Sutter?

I am not sure acquiring 22/23 year olds is looking for quick fixes. They didn't want a team of 19 year olds and a few 36 year olds.

Also, I am curious as we no the TDL freakout is coming soon. Who would you move at the deadline and what do you think the return will be?

Ok but generalizing assets is vague.
Moving out which vets or how many will help how exactly?

Ya I get that part, it's really important to have quality vets around, however, I think they were trying to push because of the twins. Which was/is wrong...obviously.

I'd move Hansen and a defenseman...

In other words offer up next years roster ideas U have & how it plays out going forward.

plus you are the only one among them to shell out money to go to games. They don't have the same standing to complain.

Don't say things you can't qualify. For example, I won't say "you haven't been to any games this year" because this is a message board and I don't pretend to know details about peoples lives unless they mention them.

The whole purpose of the message board is to complain, joke and share hockey related poop. No one reserves a higher standing, although some of us like to pretend

- LeftCoaster

Yes, those are the only pieces that will generate a return. I don't buy the fact that we can get a return for Miller or Burrows.

Hansen is key. They love the guy so it will be interesting to see if they can actually pull the trigger. He should net a 2nd.

4 got love them Eastern road swings.

So you are saying those 2nd rounders would be better then Sven and Sutter?
- Nuck4U

For a building team I think those 2nd rounders they traded for Vey, Baertschi and Gudbranson are important. The 2nd they traded for Sutter is really irrelevant because they only moved down five or so spots.

Listen I know a lot of people love this Gudbranson kid, but to me, he wasn't great this year. Ya he had a couple good fights but who cares, he didn't play that well. He's young and he's a dman, so I'm good with that one.

The Baertschi and Linden Vey ones I could have done without, but that's water under the bridge now isn't tit.

Just use the picks that you have to select kids....please
