Ulstrom? Nielsen? Cizikas? All guys I would like on our team for years to come
We just need new top 6 (niño to step up)

Moulson- JT - blank
Blank blank PA (maybe bailey at LW next year)
Grabner-Nielsen-okposo (could use ulstrom here)
Martin-cizikas-blank

Insert in future: Nelson, strome, niño,lee, kabanov
If 2 of our prospects become legit top 6 we would be in good shape on 2 years

Defense is another story...

- Danformo

and don't get me wrong I like both Ulstrom and Cizikas, I just think its easy to get ahead of ourselves. Its time to start adding real veterans that are capable leaders as well as players. Not anymore Reasoners, Rolstons, etc... Real guys that give a shat and aren't collecting a check. Enough of this losing attitude and environment.

Nielsen actually doesnt look as good as last year so idk where you're getting that? Cizikas, Ulstrom are not proven in any way and project to be third liners. And you are reaching with your insert in future category. Don't overextimate our prospects.

Nielson hasn't stepped back, his line mates have. His assists may be down but his goals are a career high

Also I said if 2 of our prospects pan out, I never said they all were gonna

It's not Snow. Capuano sucks. He has Reasoner playing with Grabner/Ullstrom and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.

There are alot of holes in this line up, anyone can see that. There is a zero percent chance of all of those wholes being filled and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there is very little chance of 1/4 of them being shored up. Nielsens overall game has taken a step back imo. I am fan of him and think he's a good player but to think this teamhas improved is crazy. They havent and much more was expected by the fans, the players, and least of all Snow.

Oh yay the first part of a feature on AMac in between periods. My guess is it's a training video on proper execution of defensive zone turnovers.

Who hired Capuano and gave hime the vote of confidence when this team was falling apart? I know it seems like I hate Garth, which I don't personally. He just isn't a good GM in any sense of the word, you can't do twenty percent of a job and expect good results.

He could have 40 points in 14 games and I wouldn't care. He was completely and utterly useless here. Useless may have even been an upgrade from what he was.

Coach had no idea how to utilize him correctly.

OK, he has fired a couple coaches? lol. Awesome, he needs to fire another one. Fire another coach that he decided was good enough to coach his team. One of the many things Snow is not good at doing, picking a coach to coach his NHL team. I have no idea who is available? I'm not a GM? lol. None of us on here know, we only know what we are told and if you think the only players "available" are the ones that we hear on hockeybuzz or therwise I'll tell you you're wrong.

He'll make a move when it it makes sense for the team.. that's all you need to know.

that does it, X, you have to be Garth Snow. I always suspected as much, but the "when it makes sense for the team" bit seals it.

When a deal comes across the desk that, that helps the team for the present as well as the future, is financially logical & does not take away from the core players, Garth will make the move... those deals however don't come along often.

Even less often when you're waiting for those deals to "come along" instead of actively pursuing them.
