it's the pressure of not being a bachelor anymore might be sinking in.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

or lack of pressure from being in a steady relationship?

Rieilly is a pending UFA, what exactly do you exepct to get for him?
usually they go for a pick and a prospect.

- fidopro

Yes he is a UFA and Matthew is an RFA.

Again, didn't say 1 for 1.

Yep. ALL.DAY.LONG.

Kadri at $6m...after a raise in a new contract...with good wingers is way better than JT with the C, not doing poop at $11M.

Prove me wrong.

- underhill14


That cant be proven wrong.

It also pisses me off to see Marchment playing well in Florida. Has there ever been a answer as to why we traded him for Malgin?

They’ve both been poop. I’ve seen Mitch play at a high level so I have confidence that he can play that way again. I don’t know Ritchie’s game other than these games and the preseason. He was supposed to play a key role but looks slow and his decision making seems slow - he seems to read plays and opportunities after they’ve past by.
- Canada Cup

I give less (frank)s about Ritchie sucking ass than I do Mitch. The former was signed and we all hoped would add some much needed sandpaper to the top 6 while the latter is the highest paid RW in the game and is supposed to be driving the offence.

So until Marner starts to live up to his expectations it's absurd to poop on a guy with equal or more aplomb than the superstar who is literally a waste of space for 22mins a game.

You're focused so hard on Ritchie supposedly reading plays slowly while the rest of the team can't get their poop together in precisely the same way.

Worse ....We all agreed that Mikheyev was the worst finisher in the history of the world last year. He bagged 7G on 107 shots. 6.5%

So far this year JT/AM/MM have bagged 2G on 61 shots. 3.2%

Last year the Big3 clocked in around 15%.

They owe us 8G.

- Blue Cat Lodge

I never understood the Marchment for Malgin trade beyond some vague notion of "skill over size". Mason isn't a great skater but he's been a lot more effective than Malgin ever was.

Exactly. I was a supporter and had put faith in the plan. Upon reflection, Dubas has really crippled the team with decisions like this. Now I`m looking at it trying to figure out what moves hes made that have been "good". Pretty darned lopsided to the bad.

Since Marner makes almost 4.5x as much I want to see you female dog about him 4.5x more.
- mjones242

What about the same amount, but in 4.5X bigger font?

The problem is people think this team is elite, they arent.
Theyre a good team. But prior to covid they were tied for 6-8th in the conference with 81pts. Babs got fired, then they went on a tear for about 15 games, then came back to earth. Still tied for 6th-8th.
Last year, its clear the north wasnt as good as other divisions.
This is good team and they will get this back on track.
I just dont think they are an elite team.

It seemed like a trade just to trade someone.
Malgin was a failure

Jesus, I started by saying Mitch is playing like poop - a topic that is pretty well covered in here. I’ve also been clear that the entire team except for a few has been really bad. I’m not sure why I’m not allowed to include Ritchie in the list of first line guys playing like poop.

If you disagree, cool. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how he’s been playing well. But spare me the poop about the topic being absurd because he’s being paid a lot for a cap strapped team to fill a critical role.
