Eklund: NHL GM Resolutions, What is your Team’s One Need?

New year and you’re still banging the same old drums.
MAF isn’t close to what the oilers need. He makes them worse. They aren’t a contender. Besides; I thought you said the oilers owner wanted Price?
Tocchet to Philly would also make them worse if that’s possible. They aren’t a contender either. I thought Khudobin was HIGH on their list.
Islanders are out of it. Everyone but you seems to know this.
Druzy needs more than Chariot to contend.
The panthers are the only real contender you listed but you didn’t make any suggestions on improvements.

So Fox is the only defenseman in the NHL who can be mentioned in the same breath as Makar. Hedman and Josi not even close?

So, a bunch of east coast teams. Got it

Hedman and Josi are contenders but I think they may just be pretenders. But they might also be mind-benders.

Forgot about that. Hedman and Josi could have desperation scores that are out of whack too.

As long as they aren't transgenders.

The Seinfeld take on that would be, “Not that there is anything wrong with that.”

Fire Sweeny and start a rebuild

Hawks to hire a vp of hockey ops and start making trades. And don't bring back the current coaching staff back. Same issues d zone mistakes

Marty Jones and his .911 save% is not the reason for Philly’s woes. Seeler has a good work ethic but he’s an 8th D man. Then there is Yandle and his sacred streak.

The Oilers need to fire everyone employed in a off ice position. The management sucks. The broadcast team is horrible. The ticket taker is a maroon. Popcorn salesman is slow. Anyone who doesn't wear skates needs to be replaced.

Of course not. Ha ha

What’s wrong with Patty Maroon? 3 consecutive Stanley Cup rings can’t be wrong

Leafs: SC

The Leafs need BeLeaf from the fan base. That's it. If they can get that, the Cup is coming home.

They might get to round two this year. That’ll be about it.

PHI: Mrazek, Holl, 2022 2nd round pick
TOR: Jones, Ristolainen (salary retained), 2022 4th round pick

Good one.

Good one.

That’s why they pay me the big bucks… to stay away from Gm’ng 🤷🏾‍♂️

Jones numbers are comparable to Mrazek but he’s significantly cheaper.

Holl and Risto are both UFA after this season and will either get the same contract or slight raise. Risto at worst will give us the same horrendous output that Holl has but if he benefits from a change then I believe he has more offensive upside than Holl. Obviously only makes sense At 50% retained.

Overall neither will bring the IT factor that leads to 1st round win or even dare I say a Cup. But i feel makes sense by freeing up cap space for another move at the deadline and/or to extend Campbell

Risto has already not benefitted from a change. Hes not a good player.

why you keep spinning the Jones is the key to the flyers narrative?
