Today I would like
Bylsma fired
Koluli and franson gone
girgensons or foligno gone
Kane to stay unless its for a legit established top pair d man

- hubie



Kane getting moved for a top 4 is almost impossible, what playoff team would trade a top d man? I think anything with him extension or trade happens in the off season.

Girgs and Foligno are legit 4th liners we are just using them above and beyond what they should be used for. If we could ever establish a solid top 3 lines they will be a great 4th line tandem.
- lulags


i think the return is greater then the output they produce, I do notice Gus regression since Byslmas arrival.

No big fan of FOligno, but not many 4th liners get 10 goals and 7 assists at this point in a season - and no, he didn't really get much of that when elevated to Eichel's line.

He's a solid 3rd liner, there's nothing wrong with Foligno/Gionta on wings for a 3rd line, I just don't think either should be any higher

Yes, IF we trade Kane it will be in the off season. No legitimate playoff contender is giving up a top asset for Kane right now.

A third round pick or something like that would be disappointing, but a trade for an actual D prospect with a name would be fine with me

Was it just me or did Bogos choke on D for almost every Preds goal last night? Put some effort in, jesus. Add him to the dead weight list and trade his ass if we can today.
- lulags


He was behind the net on the first goal alone. Why???

We will not get much in return for Girgensons or Foligno. Maybe a 3rd if we are lucky but the impact it would have on our 3rd, 4th lines would take too long to fix. They are both hard working, dedicated players caught up in a horrible system and line juggling. They will be good 2 way players and I think they would both benefit from consistent 4th line time with special teams (PK) opportunities.

Couple Girgs of Foligno with one of Kuli or Franson and get a better return?

I don't follow directions well. Also, could never get that check mark in Elementary school for "Works well with other".

I almost failed kindergarten for hitting my friend with one of those large wooden blocks. Plus a few other temper related issues.... It's hard to believe that my temper faded around the 5th grade.

He just let Forsberg walk right in on that OT goal. No Challenge what so ever. No second effort on the bullpoop Fischer goal either. Hes done trying for this team. Time to go.

Remember when the deadline was fun and guys like Martin St. Louis were traded?

Something needs to change, this is one of the most interesting times of the year

You should be smart enough to know this year isn't goign to be one of those years. Too many teams still in the hunt.

I actually like Foligno a lot. Girgs is just too frustrating for me to enjoy. He's always falling down and he's completely abandoned his north/south game. also, it's a little thing, but every time he takes a hit, he wastes a second or two fiddling with his helmet because he wears it too loose. If I were Bylsma, i would tell him he's not taking another shift until he tightens his chin strap

The first goal was the one that Lehner came out and tried to do a Hasek impression and failed miserably. I believe Bogo was right with Fisher the whole time. (Not saying he was doing a good job, just that he wasn't behind the net).

If we could only keep one, Its Foligno hands down. Much more upside to his game. I still think Girgs has potential but I cant argue the falling all the time and fumbling with his chinstrap.

Have to disagree here. Lehner coming out screams lack of trust in his defence and his instincts were right. Bogo was there but he was never really never on him and his attempt to recover after the fact was very reminiscent of the disconnected controller ovechkin play.
