It was great to see Jones and Terry up, although I wish RC put them with a more offensive center than Grant (even though he isn't totally bereft of offensive ability). I wonder if they put Shore as the pivot for that line if they'd have a bit more spark. That would allow Sprong, Getzy, and Rakell to gel on that first line. IDK if Grant has the speed to play with those kids.

Good thing they played (ar least at the beginning) against a goalie clearly off his game. The next two periods were all Wild. Once again terribly outshot it was Gibson who bailed them out. Not a recipe for success. They keep playing that way they will enjoy another long streak on their way to the NHL basement.

Yeah the kids were fun... Jones has some real wheels and TT looks much more comfortable. I have to think with all the youth available this roster is going to look completely different next year. Kase / NR / already regulars and young.... along with Jones / Steel / Lundestrom/ Welinski
Comtois /TT / Mahura all should be in Anaheim at some point next yr.
on to Jersey keep it going guys.

Although technically correct, a lot of those were trash shots. And score effect.

Eakins will be the coach next year imo. All the kids you mentioned were/are coached by him. The Athletic had an article stating the same, also speculating Carlyle will remain with the team as a scout. Seems like a logical transition for the team. With the change, also think new assistant coaches will be coming in too (our PP and PK just aren't cutting it).

Eakins didn't really coach a NHL team in Edmonton. Give the guy a shot.

Yeah cogs was the only regular player shipped out, but kes and silf were also out of the lineup. Maybe played a huge role
