Adams better have a heck of a plan for his two goalies for next year. 6K needs ample time and will probably be in Rochester next year.

I just don't know why a team would acquire risto and not use him on the PP. It's like buying a miata to go offroading

I disagree with this post.

Dahlin is being forced to play difficult matchups.
Big boy minutes. Real minutes.

It's not going well ☝️

- Boss34


Really? My post was that Risto isn’t good defensively and just because Dahlin isn’t good doesn’t make Risto good. Two things can be true at the same time. Rasmus is not good at defense. Pick which one it applies, cuz right now it’s both

Based on this move they dedicate time to mining sub prime players to fill voids until 23/24. Those players fill 2 roles, excited to have a full time roster spot so they are happy to be here and they consistently keep the winning percentage low at all positions filled.

Well it took them a month, but they did the bare minimum of "anything" and it cost them nothing

It's essentially a waiver claim.

Can we have the days back where you needed to go on a waiting list... please?!

- Dannymik

I think those days are actually on the way out and professional sports might have to downsize operations to a certain extent.

This is another throw away year, not paying assets for stop gaps is probably prudent. I get why most of you guys wanted a better option, I did too...is what it is, Rask for free sounded like the other option. Ullmark situation sounded too weird to me.

Like I understand the contract is an easy target, but Tanev as the same amount of goals as Skinner but less points...so if Skinner sucks than Tanev must really suck

Meh, I did a blog that mostly consisted of Subban-level players so the caliber of player doesn't bother me. It was obvious that they werent going to spend for someone good. My only qualm is that this should have been done 2-3 weeks ago.

What's funny Skinner scored 2 that night. I think he gets better the worse he gets chirped.

Why did risto need to stand in front on the pp? A defenseman....
Seems like a guy that was " known" for standing in front or the net, would be that guy?

- Boss34

Because you put your best player in front of the net who is not afraid of getting hit by the puck!! It takes Courage!!

I think it’s funny how much rope he’s getting with the fans based on acquiring some good prospects

All it took to get them was our only really good players getting traded
