I dont mind this move with gouhlbourne. He was killing penalties in lehigh. He has decent wheels and he will add some toughness. Has actually been a smart player in lehigh. Not rinaldo 2.0

We called up an AHL 4th line plug, let alone an NHL one, any way you cut it for a team starved for scoring and depth. While players like Lindblom rot.

He's going to PK over who? Raffl? Laughton? That's good? It's just to pretend the PK isn't Lappy's fault. It's personnel! So call up Goulbourne. Because he's certainly better than the players they're already using.

It's pathetic. This team is just the (frank)ing worst.

Lappy blocked two shots with his face and know we're obligated to penalty kill mediocrity for the next decade.

Aside from the Elliott signing I've lost a lot of faith in Hextall this season. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong and does something significant but I really doubt it.

Another year of G, Jake & Simmonds' prime is being squandered. Haven't won a playoff series in over 5 years. Somebody tell me I'm wrong.

This. Doesnt make any sense to me. It can't just be toughness can it ? We could trade a bag of pucks for a goon if we really need to.

I think people want to see some more toughness out of the top six. Simmonds is just not an even strength top six player. And it's not just about having a goon to fight between the whistles. It's muscling guys off pucks, winning board battles and driving the puck to the other teams net.

Yes to all of these except MacDonald. For now.

If they trade Simmonds presumably for young, cheap players then they are in no rush to clear AMac off the cap.

Lindblom checks all those boxes except fighting and he actually creates offense something we lack.

He’s no bigger than Manning. How much toughness is he really bringing?

It's not so much Goul as it's finally making a move and its not Lindblom.
