but now he has the stink of losing on him, always seems like as soon as one of your guys are part of a losing season their value drops down to garbage

Don't know if you're aware, JG is a head of MacK in points...

can't wait till Hall goes 10P in 5GP and you're all suckin his Richard again

part of the solution, not the problem

Stick to the plan and actually acquire the filler pieces as you go (the Pouliots, Faynes, what should have been Ribeiros/Roys) until the lineup is competitive. Klefbom's looking like that future (not too distant) top pair guy we've been waiting for, Nurse on the wings, a season under Draisaitl's belt, a new coaching regime, and a little bit of lady luck. Sucks where EDM is, but talking about trading Hall is just going to bring about trolls who think the 25th overall pick and a 2nd liner will get it done.

Don't force a trade and certainly don't trade a premier forward for 3 minor pieces

Great fukin post.


One caveat. At least someone who has the possibility of growing into a competent 1 goalie . At present we've got two guys that can play great and then follow it up with a sieve performance. And I don't think thats changing from either of em. We need the chance at stability back there. The enroths or even the neuvirths etc.
Even Paying above past market value, Ala a 2nd and a gernat/khaira would still be a solid risk imo.
it sucks dubnyk didn't work out, but the direction they were going with him was still the prudent move imo. Try it again.
And brossoit is just too far away at present to wait for it

with 7 (frank)ing wins they have no where to go but up
- saskoil21

I meant they should have more wins by now. Not all Dallas fault. In years prior Ebs Hall Nuge would win games by themselves hell even Perron. Don't see that this year. Team is going backwards and individuals... not good

U know I've been one of the main proponents that it was much deeper than Eakins.
But they're just lost and don't have an ounce of confidence right now.
Right or wrong, this change was probably needed

Would have been nice it would have happened 10 games ago when there was 3/4 of the season left... then again anything that can get the team to respond is a positive at this point as the entire team

Still the random errors, but he's also under constant attack.

A great skater, can carry the puck, and an extremely solid player. He does alot of things well.
I'd be very happy to keep him around if possible.

I agree but he still has at least 2 major (frank) ups in a game... my guess is Marincin gets recalled in a game or 2...

I don't think mact was full of it at all 2 weeks ago. He thinks Eakins is a good coach and didn't wanna scapegoat him.
But at this point, it's change for the sake of it. They can't win. And I'd bet even Eakins understands that

Sometimes he has been the best skater out there, more often than not its when the games out of reach but you start to notice him more. If hes in your top 4, thats not a bad thing at all.
