Nothing wrong with that Boss, it's fun when they win. It's just a shame they didn't recognize this 4 months ago.
And is it good to keep some of Management. So be it doesn't fix things.

Good post and I agree

It is tough to win with young guys like power and benson though

Hopefully we fire Donnie, can’t really fire all the players

UPL has been a great surprise this year for sure. If this really is what he is its great, and if levi can replicate his play in rochester in Buffalo next year we will have a top goalie tandem in the league

Hopefully it isn't wasted like all the career years were last year
- ieetbred

Absolutely agree 👍

Part of the 3 goalie rotation , was upl’s injury back ground. I’m still worried about his durability.

Levi looks great in Rochester

Maybe add a tough hard nosed player up front and a guy that actually plays defense well

Fire don

10 points back of Tampa and Detroit.

2 games on hand on Tampa and 1 head to head meeting left.

0 games on hand on Detroit but 3 head to head meetings left.

Fat lady hasn’t sung yet, but she’s walked on stage and is holding the mic.

There is still a chance though

Grab your Pom Poms you liberal

I’m not sure if it’s “guts”

He has a slow plan and is sticking to it.

Looking at this roster, management is slow rolling it.

Hard to win with power and samuelsson in your top 3 imo
- Boss34

You make it sounds like the defense is killing them. It's not. The offense (specifically the top line) is killing them.

I'd still like to know what the plan is. Their top 10 F's might return and 4 1st rounders are ready or very close, with no open top 9 spots. It seems very poorly timed and planned.

Tanev on an extension is what the GM ordered allegedly

Did tanev say no to the sabres or did the GM say not without an extension?

There are plenty of players without movement clauses how come we don't hear about those failed acquisitions. Besides the chicken man of course

Only seems fair to mention that every team between them has games in hand.

Man you owed all of us a detailed prospect report a month ago lol

Good thing is you can only move these particular goalposts for another month

The top line is definitely killing them.

The defense is still in need of a defensive defenseman. A 27 year old Eric Johnson type , that actually blocks shots and plays d.

Basically, what we thought samuelsson would become

I heard we’re in on Anderson and Weegar from Calgary . Take it for what it’s worth .

They are in position to make a major hockey trade for a win now player

Whether its a deadline deal or in the offseason it has to be coming

KA's solution was Clifton.

Fair chance we get a Joker extension this summer and no change.

Are you good with that?

They ought to be in on everything and the GM talks like he is

Concerning when nothing ever comes of it

Man you owed all of us a detailed prospect report a month ago lol

- ieetbred

And then you’ll get your prospect report.

Since I started my prospect report they then won 7 of their last 10.

Time will tell

Yeah, always like joker . I’d extend him reasonably

Buddy says he’s the trade bait going to Calgary though

I get what your saying , it’s not exactly exciting knowing your gm is a slow roller

- Boss34

If you want to improve your D, he's logically the guy that needs to move.

When this falls through, and he just extends him, is anyone going to be surprised?

KA never lands the guy he's in on. He's the Ek of GM's.

And then you’ll get your prospect report.

I want them to win games too

Doesn't change the fact you have still not honored the deal you offered and it won't change their spot in the standings if you do

Time has already told

Slow roller or incapable

I want him to prove me and many others wrong. There is nothing to roll slowly here hes rolling himself further into a corner

If they don’t win one of the lottos for the top 3 pick, they are trading it.

If they don’t trade it, my prediction is another smaller WHL forward in Berkly Catton falls into their lap and they draft him igniting a civil war amongst the fan base despite him being the BPA available at their pick.

If they win one of the lottos. Celebrini, Demidov, Levshunov/Richardinson are my targets.

So your prediction is they trade the pick or use it?

Gutsy call

They should not be using the pick if it isn’t in the top 3.

That’s my answer.

As a hedge to our GM being the king of conversations, I supplied a name.

Happy ?

- ieetbred

Answer is both.

Last year there was no urgency and it was a see what they have year.

This year they acknowledged they needed to make external adds and swung and missed on Kane and others.

If KA is actually following his own 4/5 year plan, I’m not faulting him for being incapable.

He has made a couple big trades and probably learned from them. Hopefully anyways

He landed Alex tuch at least

Greenway is probably his best trade though lol
