Sedinery seems to have no place anymore. Guess whatever they do they will be raked.

Setting up two goals last game was overlooked cause of goals against and PP. It's going to be rough to go through end of contract.

Hope emphasis on Bo and co allows for Sedins to slide into background.

They need a coach to help them. The Sedin's are fine but they can't have 7 passes behind the net before they try to go to the net. It's going to be 1 or 2 and then moved a different way.

I would really like to see them split up.

Don't think this has been mentioned...but apparently Benning said Dahlen won't be coming to North America this year as his sources indicated he has a chance to play in the World Championships. I am assuming we may see him in Utica at the start of next season? Unclear.

The player tribune article by Burr was well done. Canuck legend in my eyes. Gonna miss the guy, His heart is unmatched.

That is correct. They definitely have hopes for him playing in Utica next season. Benning mentioned that today and in an earlier interview shortly after the trade.
I was pretty high on Acid both times so I'm not entirely reliable.

Hopefully one day comes back and gets into management like Stevie Y and Craig Conroy did.

They've gotten to the point in their careers IMO that they need an elite shooter. It has been frustrating to watch them cycle the puck endlessly since day 1 but at least they were producing. They still get the cycle going at times but don't seem to have anyone able to pull the trigger including Daniel.

We used to always see Ohlund or Edler getting the back door goals or Samuelsson/Kesler set up wide open, or salo with a blast from the point.

Now all they seem to have is a sutter/granlund deflection or a weak shot from Daniel, I think having some more legit offensive support would make a big difference as well.

I'd like to see him go the coaching route. He seemed to be great in the locker room. Great around the young guys. Played very smart 2 way hockey and he has one of the more inspirational paths to where he got as anyone. I'd love for him to get an assistant coaching position in Utica when he hangs them up. (Assuming they are still there)

He can sign his contract to play next season, but i think it means he won't join Utica for fear of missing it due to playoffs.

They need a coach to tell them not to pass the puck behind the net 7 times. They are fine as long as 1 or 2 passes then towards the net. Exact same on the power play.

All it looks like is that he got more time on ice.

The overager JB signed has half as many points.

Gezz he's got a higher PPG avg then OJ. Van is screwed

I am going to go out on a limb and suggest they actually watched the players play and signed the kid they think is better. Crazy huh?
