The one player no one has female doged about has been the Skinman.

I give it 2 games after his extension is signed.

Maybe Ullmark too

I did yesterday and a couple weeks ago too.
The honeymoon phase has come and gone. He is a one dimensional finisher. That's great, you need guys like that I just don't think you want them for 8 yrs at >8M aav.
I'm still cool with ullmark.

He won't settle for 7x7, but I do agree with you that he shouldn't get a penny more then $8M.

I agree. I just don't think teams are going to line up to pay him 8Mx7yrs. We shouldn't either.
8M x 6yrs sounds great. He won't do it but that's where I want to be anyways

I personally don't think he does.

But as far as being one dimensional, I agree, but you can be one dimensional when you are elite at that part of your game.

Eh, I think this team needs to do whatever it takes to load up the next two years while Dahlin is on his ELC. (I don't mean overpay a bunch of old dudes) I think Skinner needs to be signed no matter what

According to the news, Okposo demoted to the 4th line and erod moved to the 2nd. That should fix things.

At this point I think we’re just shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic. We’ll have to wait until Botts flips a taco bar.

Agreed. He's just trying different line combinations to get a few players going. If that doesn't work and they keep losing, gotta do something.

Reinforcements are going to come from Rochester at some point. I think part of Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, Dahlin's development is trying to right this ship on their own. If these guys can win with absolutely no secondary scoring we will be better off when they are actually surrounded with enough talent to win.

I thought about that the other day but I guess they don't want to change that line.

Edit- I wouldn't mind trying Tage there too.

Agreed. I just want to see a 60 minute effort, get back to winning.
