Goldobin needs to step up. He is running out of chances like Boucher. There are a lot of prospects waiting to pass them on the depth chart

I bet Goldobin wears a Speedo.

Yup

Fans

That is fine . Fans will claim that the new UFA signings are stopping Goldobin when in fact it is Sven LE and Gagner.

He hasn't done enough. 20 points in 60 games isn't going to get you a top 6 scoring role. He doesn't play a bottom 6 style of game.

The 3 you mentioned have better all around games and have shown they can produce at a better rate.

I am not debating who is better , I am just pointing out Goldy has to win a spot in the top 6 not the bottom 6

Neither I am. Just saying the fans that want vets to sit for kids because of salary and youth.

The kids have to beat them out to make the vets sit.

Yup I don't mind this years signings. Only two players in the system that play that style are Gadjovich and MacEwen . MacEwen may be ready the following year.

He's Russian... so... like yeah.

Got a new woodpile.
A Cacoon suspended seat, very relaxing.

I guess that puts a rubber stamp on things

People (not you) need to be realistic about who they bring in this year. Pettersson Gaunce Hughes Demko Dahlen OJ . That is way too many

Why?

That's not why you had such a great day yesterday was it?

IMO that should not matter . If he is being outplayed then sit him. It should not be an issue that he makes 3 mil. We have plenty of cap space so if he is in fact being outplayed then play the better player. It may push him to improve his game.

LE, Gagne, and Sven should all be sat or moved if if they aren’t cutting it. I’m hoping guys like Goldobin take the step.

Green won’t have the option of taking a kid over a vet. It will be one kid over another, the vets all have their spots locked up.

Going to be a long four years Vintsy.


Just kidding. I think Green wants to win . If a player is outplaying someone he will make the change

The only veteran I can see losing a spot is Gagner, even then it's unlikely.

I don’t think they do, Benning (the genius) stated if kids earn it they will play and he will trade or waive.

I would love to see Hughes make the team, if he signs that is.

Friends and first responders have identified victim in early morning drowning at the Hamilton Harbour as former @NHL goalie Ray Emery. Ray played the @ottawasenators, @NHLBlackhawks, @AnaheimDucks and the @NHLFlyers. He was swimming with several friends & never surfaced #HamOnt

As contracts start to expire, things will start to change. Gagner becomes tradable next year, Eriksson the year after, MDZ this year.

I hope the team will be back in a playoff hunt in 3 years.
