So, we still want to send Quinn down to the AHL? Or should we just put him on unconditional waivers you buncha impatient malcontents?

All fun, just getting to the edge of not.

Yep, appreciate the gentle banter 🙂

Tage does the same move every time lol.

And it keeps working, turns out you didn't need to practice all those moves, just be 6'7 and learn one.

Scratching a 24 year old or Olofsson is not a bad look if the players are not playing well and the goal of the organization is entirely focused on winning as many games as possible.

So the question for you is, are you more concerned with winning games no matter what, or are you ok with possibly being a bottom 10 team because the team just kept running players out there who are not playing well?

It's a development year. I was excited at 7-3.

Once I read the the stat about every team in the past decade to have a 8 game pointless streak , has ended in dead last or 2nd last....

Play mitts, he's still young , see if he turns into a tage.

Play olo , get something at the deadline.

Dont play asplund - he has no value and isnt turning into tage.

No guess. Doesn't look like he's playing well, is he a reclamation project you're interested in?

I am just looking at different things, he's a big body. Doesn't always play that way. Just trying ideas to fit Krebs in.

I doubt there's any realistic in-season avenue to addressing an upgrade in goal or on defense, but when I see the team having a true top line in the league, a Center who may be a top 10 player in the league, a top defender, a rookie line that is making a quality impact, and a rookie defender who is having a fantastic rookie season, I see an opportunity to try and do more at forward to win this season.

Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, and don't just wait around for another losing season.

I'm not asking for major moves, just doing anything possible to stop having a forward line that gets caved in nightly and only gets 10 minutes or less of ice time.

If that means rotating any and all players until a combination can be found that comprises at least a competent line, I'm all for it, even if means further depreciating trade assets and potentially lowering the return.

Little surprising that the forwards have stayed so healthy this year. Maybe it's the upside of no hitting.

We're on the same page.
I'm just being a tad bit more patient.

There is no incoming trade that's gonna change this season.

They just added jost. Very quality upgrade. IMO.

Okposo hurt x 2
Girgensons hurt
Asplund hurt
Quinn hurt

Just off the top of my head.

Good point with the hits though, less contact , less chance of Injury

kotalik did the same thing in the shootout for like an entire season and scored at a ridiculously high rate

I think this means he's still eligible to come back Week 17.

Probably didn't get the progress on the swelling going down. He can come back in 4 weeks, Probably having the meniscus fixed or there draining it and hoping that works.

Mitts, Olofsson, Krebs can all go.
Have Mitts or Olofsson had a shot on goal in last couple games?

Asplund maybe too, but he adds some depth value for 4th line.

Time to build around Cozens, Quinn, JJ

Let’s not waste their prime years too.

2 top lines set IMO.

Liking What Jost brings. I’d move him to the 3rd line to reward his good play, cycle between Hino and Asplund on Larry line.

2 shots. -3 rating 9:31avg time per game

the improvement of cozens game makes casey replaceable

and 3 centers picked in the first round this past summer

tanking with dignity

Jost has looked good but once he starts letting off the gas hes going to be become useless. Guy needs the motor to keep running to be of any value going forward. His offense is very limited, has some hands but makes some bad decisions with the puck (like keeping it way to long)

Actually made that line tick, maybe if Stone Hands could score that line would be worth it.
