If FA has decided to rebuild properly I would like a GM and Pres. that know how that is done, not a guy that is good at watching kids play and a guy that is good at watching himself in the mirror.

Edit: on another note I may have met the next ASL GF tonight, wish me luck

They've been bombing Yemen every day for years.

He has sucked at trying to make a competitive team, the rebuild only started when Burrows and Hansen were traded. Basically he is now in a different mode, he knows they suck and need to be rebuilt. He reminds me of Burke when he went to the Leafs and read the talent totally wrong and overpaid for Kessel. I would of loved it if he had told FA when he took the job that the team needed to start a rebuild, Torts told them but they didn't believe him and just fired him and went out and signed Miller and Vrbata

Except JB hasn't traded a 1st round pick for a player let alone two for Kessel. Then Lou trades a 1st away... no we don't make those blunders.

I have a hard time thinking that the addition of Goldobin and Gadovich signal the start of a rebuild. A small part of what was already in motion imo.

Advantage Dragon. I stand by my post and would like to read his stance on that play. He's been a good evaluator of coaches here, dispite getting made fun of for it.

I didnt see the play in question.

I havent seen enough of Nolan B's work to comment. Only seen a handful of games this season. I was concerned as he was never a full time NHLer but green thinks high enough to bring him here so Im good with it.

What I can say is that you can be assured something will be done about it.
Dont worry the team will improve

He's inexperienced at the NHL level as a coach of any sort. I think it shows sometimes against more experienced coaches. He's learning, whether or not he will have learned enough by the time this team is ready to compete will show whether or not it was the right move.

I like his coaching style. He is doing really what most fans have been looking for. It's 15 games in though.
- manvanfan

he has the right stuff. Some wily vets might have some advantage but he will learn. his work with the young is excellent also

I liked him in the beginning.I wont list what I don't like but Tkachuk and Sergachev would look pretty good right now so would a 6'8 Russian.

ill have to agree with this
we miss tree on D

Baumy is really the only coach without NHL experience. Newell Brown and Doug Jarvis have been around for a long time.

Team will improve next season

5-3 SJ

This is where I think we are right now

??? ??? ???
JV Bo BB
Sven Gaudette Granlund
??? Sutter DD

??? ???
OJ Tanev
Pouliot ???

Markstrom
Demko
- VANTEL

1st Line - BB (is already scoring at 1st line rate), EP
2nd - SB, BH, KL, JV, JG, NG, JD
3rd - AG, PP
4th - ZM, WL

That would be about it for players under 24 on the team. That's my projection on what they will turn out to be.

As for D. That's too far away too project.

I think they should consider packaging Goldy with Granlund or Sven to maybe Nashville and get D prospect and a pick.

Kesler lite?

I just read Sidney Crosby is 30 years old, it just didn't look right! Where does the time go.

7-0 Vancouver.
Green coaches Boeser in 3 goals, Newell Brown coaches 1 PP goal by Del Zotto.
Dorsett scores 2 because of coaching and Cloutier coaches Markstrom into an empty netter.
