This is good news. He and Reilly were solid depth singings by Lou.

Yep if we do make the playoffs we already have our backend depth in place. Both have been more then serviceable.

Wonder if Aho gets pushed out.

I think the best thing is to run with this team and see how things play out and make moves after the season. This gives more time to Patrick with this team as well.

Lou is not blowing up this team for any one player. That would be stupid. Best case scenario....Mayfield goes to LTIR and we use that $$$ to sign a rental. Wally & Holmstrom stay till end of season. This is a new team with a new voice. They sent down the guy with the least upside. Give it a few more games....I think we're gonna like what we see. I trust the people close to the team know more than the experts here.

has anyone done a wellness check on Ben? Is he out there? Do we need to ask Dee (to come back) to post a new blog?

Pretty sure no one here brought up Roy to replace Lane...even tho he was available.
So, yeah, you have to admit the people who work within the NHL every day are more aware of what's really going on. Versus the armchair QB's who flex all over this site.

Where are the chains around his neck? Any good athlete knows the secret to success is training with chains on your neck. Just ask Josh.

Apparently we have to fire the coach to get a new blog. So it may be a while.

I am usually for moving picks and prospects for established players. At this stage I would like to how Roy manages a healthy squad. Let him start tweaking things at the draft. Roy could also be that free agent draw some believe we are lacking.

One thing is for sure is he had this team playing more complete games.

It really would be and especially if he never gets an NHL look.

I agree. I'm fine with moving picks and prospects for the right player. I think with the Cap and the prospects not being great, I would like to sit tight and let things play out.

I think Patrick and his style and coaching will hopefully help in terms of FA's. We can say it should just be about winning, but having fun and players being able to put up good numbers is important to many players.

If Roy can get Engvall to be more physical and aggressive on the puck, he'd be dangerous. Not holding my breath, but that would be miraculous.
