Need to start playing Stafford and put Lovejoy on first pairing for any chance at Hughes.

would it hurt to let muller, Zajac, green, or lovejoy sit for a few games and give one or two of the young guys playing for the B Devs a fews games, I'm not saying foever, just enough to give thoughs guys a rest.

Mueller is our young guy and he should remain.
Zajac brings stability on a team filled with youngsters
Greene and Lovey should both be stripped of their skates.

So I agree with you half way.

Dea claimed back by the pens am I reading this right ?

Didnt we do the same thing with Reid Boucher ?

Would the flyers ever get desperate enough to offer something good for Schneider? Just thinking out loud, I mean it would kill me if he found his game again but it would bring a big smile on my face if they paid something and he didnt lol

Would Zykov be worth a waiver pick up ?

Schneider for Provorov . Its 1-for-1

Would Zykov be worth a waiver pick up ?

He’s making $675K. Might blow the team budget but worth a try. He’s a LW so not sure how he fits. Dea could at least play C and RW and was $25K cheaper...

Didnt have first round pedigree though like Zykov lol for whatever that is worth

McLeod is going to do nothing and we're going to lose every game for the rest of the year.

Yes, yes, and we are doomed. Listen the prospects we have better start developing or blow it up. We are either building something or its time to trade Hall (god forbid). Call up Q and give him a chance, not fourth line minutes. And by the way Blackwood is looking better. Hope.

Q has had chances and done very little. Most of the time he has looked like an AHL’er so not sure he is the answer? At least not yet anyway

Fair or not that video made me want a coaching change. I just don’t feel like Hynes is getting the most out of our players. I don’t think he’s a bad coach, but he doesn’t seem particularly good.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't share that sentiment. Just look at Lemaire and what he did for that delusional squad of lost players. It was a different team though. That team wasn't a 9-22 squad, having just been to the playoffs for the last infinite years and still having a ton of talent. Lots of vets that just lost their way and couldn't shoot a puck into an open net from the right circle. This team isn't like that.. and I'd be surprised if we ever see what that group was under MacLean. Like Lemaire said, he never saw players forget how to play hockey like he did with that group. We're obviously in a rebuild with less talent, but they're still just not playing the best hockey.

I'm not calling for Hynes to be fired, but watching Lemaire made me really want a more savvy and experienced coach.. like a Quenneville.. perhaps..

How many young players where around when lemaire came in? Im sure at that time we considered 26-28 young lol

I feel the same. Love Greene's leadership and poise, but he can't handle more than 12 minutes a night. Way too slow. LJ is the worst player in the NHL and would not crack most AHL lineups. No clue how he keeps starting. Zajac is like Brian Little was in Winnipeg. A 3C playing the role of 2C. Mueller has been pretty decent thus far. Nothing flashy but seems very solid and responsible. I am still a believer that Hall needs to run a line on his own. He drives the play, and does not require Hisch or Palms to generate chances. He would do just fine with Zajac and Bratt as his linemates, while Mojo/Hish/Palms would be a scoring line as well.
