Hutton sucks
Kuemper is good

It’s that simple. And it’s unarguable

- jdfitz77


It’s not that simple because bringing in Kuemper they would have to give up too much of what they need going forward.

Ristolainen, Thompson, Mitts, Hutton.

Couple more things: Eichel playing at 50% effort and he still got 2 assists. Imagine if this guy gave a crap anymore.

Olofsson: 2 points and still a -2.

Reinhart: -2

Hutton: .815 sv%

Skinner literally needs to be on line 1 in order to be effective at all, yet he is buried on line 4. We paid this man 9 million dollars to play "defensively responsible hockey" on the 4th line, apparently.

Okay, maybe (maaaaaybe) he's 1-dimensional. Yes, he's over-paid. But this guy needs 18 minutes a night and a high shot volume to get in a groove, and we have one of the best play-making centers in the game to feed it to him.

But Tage f'king Thompson is playing on line 1 because Ralph Krueger says you have to "earn" your chances.

Mother (frank)er, Jeff Skinner scored 40 goals playing with Eichel and got paid 9 million dollars for it. If that's not the definition of earning it, then I don't know what it.

- 3rd GM's the charm



Eichel didnt lack effort in my opinion. His back check is one if a kind. He used his speed, reach and stick defensively tonight from what I saw?

2 nice assists +/- 0 despite a 1 eyed goalie
3rd in team ice time. 10 seconds behind risto.

I think preserving energy is being confused with lack if effort. Just an opinion GM3.

We win tomorrow night . Book it

Better to give up these future assets then lose Hall & Eichel though

I’m sure they would take it all if they weren’t ready to go under.

Add in any of Johansson, Asplund, defensive prospects we have like Samuelsson, Bryson, etc

Might have to give up a 1st though
I admit, that would be tough to give up
But I’d rather lose a 1st than lose Hall & Eichel

We looked slow & sloppy

And we have to play MUCH better in front of Hutton bc he’s just not good at all most nights

In this division, we can’t afford a slow start

- jdfitz77



When was the last time we didnt look slow and sloppy? Seriously!! Laziest fu*king team in the NHL. This looked like the last 10 years

Ralphy boy should be gone tomm. This is not a overreaction. No preseason and he said hes gonna take the day off. What?!?!? And its been said to move him upstairs and bring in a real coach.

I dont want him replacing the urinal mats in the pissers.

There will be a time when giving up prospects and draft choices will be necessary but it isn’t now. If Hall loves Buffalo as much as he says and Eichel is a true captain they are not going anywhere. Whatever happened to loyalty?

Lindy ruffs debut as devil's head coach

3-2 shootout loss to Boston

Devil's had no Nico bratt and vats

Blackwood stopped 35 of 37

Devil's had 3 shots in the first and at one point outshot 25-10

After 2 periods devil's had 4Power plays with one shot total and about 20 seconds in offensive zone

- dmarsden2988


Lindy's great, you're gonna love him.

He's in charge
He's was old school with players
He's a hall of Famer
Don't worry about being outprepared in the coaching dept

negatives:

Times have changed a he may coach a dinasaur style that's outdated.
Same for player relationships. Times change , not sure if he's still old school or evolved.

My best guess at the lines for tmo:

Hall-Eichel-Thompson
Olofsson-Eakin-Reinhart
Skinner-Lazar-Cozens
Reider-Sheahan-Okposo

Eichel is at his wits end
At Hall isn’t gonna stick around on a losing team

Hutton blows, period. The end.
Get the f#ck rid of him & do what we have to do so we actually have a chance to compete
