We'll see. I'll be doing my usual laugh at every poster who gets pissed off and judgemental over #unconfirrrrmmmed rumours etc so I'm hoping it wont be too boring.

I think the most fun in here will be Makita when Stecher gets a 3 year deal

How about the announcement that the Sedins are in charge of player development? Makita would like that and you'd flip

Wouldn't bother me at all. My problem with Sedins was on ice not off ice

I wouldn't think it would be a good choice over qualified people. They can mentor kids and make sure they stay physical instead of playing video games... they would be just amazing at that. I can picture the kids working out with them in the summer prepping for camp and shown that level of commitment the Sedins are famous for but stay out of the club for a while. I think a "Sedin Camp" would be a great thing for prospects to be offered though.

I think the biggest blow up will be over the contract we absorb for a contending team.
The return will not be enough, or we should've taken someone else.

Well some are broken records on the same old worn out tact. Nothing can change their minds. Stubborn comes to mind. As for me i said a few times no rush to call in the hanging judge. This is the season if the results show no real strides forward. Furthermore i said again on more than one occasion the 2019-20 season is the year that counts most. The micriscope is on JB here on in & his job is on the line. Now who was it thats paying for JB’s Toastmaster Course?

Anyone care to quote me on JB is the best or worst will have a difficult time finding it in the archives. I chose patience as I do with the team during this rebuild. I also said i like TG & his coaching style & stand by that.

Anyone wishing to dispute the above can leave a message at the sound of the tone & I’ll get back to you asap. 🌿👀🌿

I was just joking around, I don't like Benning but you think he's good...there's nothing wrong with opposing views.

It's possible. I'm still hoping for Yamamoto and Lucic for Hutton. As long as the contract isn't too long, we should definitely look at a salary dump deal. Wait how long does Lucic have left?

Far too long.

Ok, name more than one.

Honestly, if we're being honest, my opinions of Benning are overstated sometimes because I like to have a little fun in here at his expense because it rubs some people the wrong way.

He's done a good job rebuilding the prospect pool because of the low finishes, I'll never debate that, there's some really nice pieces there. Could it be better, yes, there's where he annoys me. What's wrong with expecting better?

Furthermore, it's the other stuff, not the prospects aspect of this management that gets to me. The rebuild is going ok. He's made some mistakes because of how he conducts himself and quite frankly I think the other GM's perceive him as a nice guy but a bit of a meathead.

At least that's how I see it from my seat.

Tanev is now 24th on TSNs trade bait list. Can't see him being moved unless we sign an RFA RHD to be honest

Would prefer dealing with Tampa and taking on McDonagh for either Cirelli or Stephens. Both are centre, something this organization badly needs.

Did you mean Callahan? McDonagh is a pretty useful player that I'm pretty sure they intend on gaining on if they trade now or at TDL

The gap between our opinions are not too far apart when the hyperbole and drama are peeled away.

Ya I would think Callahan is the likely salary dump. Yzerman's structured the contracts really well though with lots coming off the books next year when Kuch's next contract kicks in. it's possible though as Point is up as well.

I saw that and fixed it already, damn Apple products and their autocorrect.

We'll be picking 9-10 next year.

A full year of BB + EP and maybe OJ and Demko joining and we're gonna be worse?

OJ and Demko haven't made the team yet? And if they do it'll be as bit roles imo.
