Assuming we can resign him or just as a pure rental?

Re-sign. If we could get him I'd be prepared to move on from Simmonds or Jake if need be to sign him.

Perimeter...a little too much the last few games? Has JJ watched the games the last few years?

Cool. We can drop Hak off at a Yoshinoya Beef Bowl in West Hollywood.

I can't say that they have tuned him out but they're certainly not responding to much adversity. There was minor push back that period. Not good enough.

Even if they come back in the third I think its time to look at other coaching options. I hope Hextall is working the phone lines for trades as well. This team looks so stale. I think theyve played well less than 25% of the season so far.

Laughton, one of the few bright spots this season, has played 7:01 after 2 periods.

Next coach

Thats a hefty price but if we could then move Simmonds for a 1st I think I might have to pull the trigger on that.

Out: Voracek, Simmonds
In: Panarin, Frost

I think the worst thing you can do is make reaction trades. You have to look for some kind of sign. I didn't see much urgency and much desperation. It's early but the season is on the line.

That quote made me laugh.

I used it here for the first time a couple years ago. Nice to know he reads HB.

Wouldnt trade anyone for the sake of it but they have holes they need to fill. Id start with the coach and adjust from there.

It's always encouraging to see when they highlight a player who hasn't shown much then they show their ice time it says only a couple shifts...yet the ones with way more shifts are the reason nothing good is happening.

Laughton has played 4 minutes of 5v5 through the first 2 periods. That's literally like 6 shifts. He's been one of our more consistent forwards.

The coach is out of touch
