There wasn't really a "top line LW" available though. Hall would have been in most years but he's all of 2 goals on the season. Outside of that, Palmieri was probably the next best winger out there and he definitely fits what this team thrives on a lot more than Hall does.

I think it was pretty obvious that we weren't taking on anyone with term unless money went out the door and clearly everyone else thinks of Komarov the same way we do here

First line lw?

You are making to much of this as far as how effective the lines are or can be based on 3 left shots on a line or right shots. Nelson Bailey and Beau have been together and been very effective offensively. There’s always 2 of the same on any given line and having 3 is not a huge hindrance in the o zone imho. It honestly makes a bigger difference in the d zone.

Violins and cellos, man!

I hate how all the lines are set up right now, but that's just me thinking they're not properly balanced with shots - all rights, all lefts and all rights. I'm not a fan of Zajac's offensive ablilities, but to each his own. Would prefer Beau or even giving Bellows another shot. I actually thought he did well and isn't a defensive liability. He works his ass off, finishes checks, shoots, and backchecks.

That’s your opinion. I don’t think he deserves the criticism that he gets on here. He’s tied for 3rd in scoring on the team and think he’s playing well. Does he make mistakes or turn over the puck. Hell yeah. Some of the HB favorites TO the puck and make mistakes but there isn’t much said about that. I mean some times poopty goals become fluky and TO become others on the ices fault. It pretty comical.

But I know I am in the minority on here so fire away Girls

Like I said he’ll be ok don’t worry man but he still sucks and makes our powerplay exponentially worse. Move on I’ll never agree with you. It took me years to dislike the guy I’m not letting it go so easy.

It’s ok we all have our opinions. I could give a shat about Baileys feeling
It not like he reads any of this BS, if he did he would laugh his ass off.

Honestly thought you were a Bailey basher for years. Didn’t realize you turned on him recently
