If I had to guess I'd say Sam's time is more or less up

Any news on Tyrod?

I mean, it's already over.

But if he's out, it's really, really over.

Three eyed raven prognosticated turmoil in KC so there's that.

no broads was saying a centre might be moved and it may not be larsson/girgs. That kinda limits the options pretty quick

Well, Wilson had 28 points last year, so that should put him in our top 6.
BINGO!

A part of me still thinks he can be. It didnt work out the first try but his line generated shot attempts and chances and this was all with griffith and Girgs.

Id like to see what he could as the 2C with say okposo and pouliot or something like that.

So a tank move is to spend a 5th round draft pick in 2019 to bring in a young player with hustle and 2 stanley cup rings?

wings didn't like him after a few months


botts is familiar with him, don't expect him to be anything special

there is a reason why the wings were given him and a 3rd for riley sheahan, who is also nothing special

is he an ok player, maybe but IMO it's another body for the bottom 6 for when gus/larsson gets moved

I guess but you and I would both be foaming at the mouth if Murray did this with some guy from Ottawa
- Sabresfan-365

Eh, a 5th? in 2019.

I don't see the need, but whatever

Okay well Faulk could be available, but we'd need to balance it out a bit.

the red wings stink and only played him 7 minutes a night


he's a body to replace gus on the 3rd or 4th line for the rest of the year

Well lets see

Out is Moulson who can't skate for crap
In is E-Rod who can fly
In is Wilson who after reading up about him doesn't take a shift off.

When he starts taking shifts away from guys like Reinhart and Okposo and Pouliot then maybe just maybe the rest of the team will get the hint.

Work and work hard or be prepared to sit.

Acting like this is all Botterill is going to do like bringing in Bob Corkum for a playoff run is asinine.

This team needs talent yes but it also needs players that work their a$$es off

This; this is the first move that starts to address the piss poor lackadaisical culture.

McDermott says QB Tyrod Taylor is day-to-day with a patella tendon contusion. His ligaments are fine.

McDermott said when healthy Tyrod is their QB
