Agree on the Yotes.
Big fan of Chayka and the moves he made, added a fair #1 center and got tougher on D. Cut dead weight on Doan. Feel they could make a serious push.


NJ, Van 1/2 worst, Col and VGK and bottom 4. Surprise bottom 5 team this year? SJS.

San Jose will do fine as long as they have Burns. I also disagree with Colorado. They're bound to be better. Detroit will be at the bottom.

Having pavelski helps too

Yes. I fully expect Colin "The Savior" Wilson to push Avs above the 60pts mark.

I like you

You should trade Taylor Hall for a quality defense man, like Adam Larsson

Strome for Barrie. It's not a win/win but (frank) it.

Brian Boyle and Dalton Prout. You guys need grit and will need a RHD to replace Barrie.

Who cares about last season we now have our best forward since the commie and Zach left..I'm fine with Hallsy being in red and black more than happy. Severson takes a big step forward Moore surprises us all and Mueller takes Lovejoy's spot in top four...Heres hoping Go Devs

Idk if it's possible for the team to be worse then last year. Yeah the defense still sucks but the forward lines are much improved and if Schneider does bounce back we're probably looking at another 10-12 place finish. Mike Mcleod territory. But who knows. If they do, when they do, miss the playoffs I'd rather they finish top 5 to grab one of those high level defenseman. Getting Dahlin would be incredible. We'd need Hall's lottery luck again tho.

Dahlin, Merkley, Veleno, Svechnikov fortunately I think there's enough high end talent that when Colorado, Vancouver and NJ are all terrible we should each still get a good player.

I highly doubt Corey can bounce back until this team has a better defense to put in front of him. It's seems reasonable to expect the offense will improve but how much remains to be seen. Last year at this time we were talking about Hall making a difference and we still really struggled. The kids, Mojo and Boyle will help.

I'm trying to hold back the "trade Cory" parade. If our defense is swiss cheese, then it'll be pointless to have a good goalie.. as any goalie will be letting in goals with a bottom ranked defense.

the other side of the coin is that we should be looking to improve the D next year and hopefully be contending the year after that.. so we gotta think long term with Cory.

We're gona land a top 5-ish pick again either way this year, with or without him, so might as well have him in the following years when we're good, instead of searching for a good goalie at that point..

It doesn't seem like they'd get good value on him right now and there is no point in creating another hole on this team. Still, if the right deal came along I'd do it; but I sure wouldn't me 'trying' to move him.

Hopefully mueller is better than lovejoy, and santini takes a step forward in development. Best case scenario is that they are just a little better than last season.
