Ok at this moment are we a contender??
At this moment are we in a rebuild?

This is the time to figure out what you have and push guys, bench guys to drive a point home and mold them to your future roster

Exactly. So you dress Bobby brink over ND. Case closed. Smarten up.

A future roster built in Torts image with little elite skill and not coached by Torts? Sounds like a marvelous plan.

The FO thinks they are a contender; they also will not commit to a rebuild

Exactly, in no world is ND getting any better. He shouldn't even be in the NHL at this point.

It's a learning process for MM. Yes, some bad turnovers and decisions. What he may have gotten away with in KHL, isn't translating to NHL. He'll be fine.

Let's go boys!

We are on season 3 of this bafoon. If you have witnessed his lineup decisions and are still defending him there is no hope for you.

Why he got scratch for a turnover and ND I agree is butt, but explain to me why it matters so much.

Can Bobby protect michkov???

Bobby has 1 feature and thats scoring and if he is not then he useless.

I get what you saying play the kids .
But sometimes a benching can be a learning moment ( if you don't do as i ask another player will and take your spot)

Honestly, I’m in favor so far of the players Torts has chosen to get rid of. Kevin Hayes and Tony DeAngelo.

As for who does and doesn’t play, I don’t think really matters. We all know this is a bad team and when we lose or upset because Brink or Foerster sit. No line up with our best possible players is changing the outcome of this season.

A benching sure. How many times has Bobby brink been scratched the past two seasons? Wake up. And ND isn’t protecting anyone. Did you happen to see Montreal this pre season? How did all those injuries and cheap shots happen if they have WiFi in the lineup?

I'm sorry but why is the roster trots fault.no talent or not enough is a gm failure and chuck was awful.

And danny practically doing nothing to improve this roster is a good thing in disguise 🥸, top 5 pick plus 2 other 1st can really build a roster

so should we sit MM39 like Brink or TF? You are missing the point widely just like a Tippet wrist shot. You play the kids and develop them. Simple as that.

Can Nic protect Michkov???? Since we both know the answer is no, then play Brink.

Agreed

Ppl need to just look at this season as to see what fits and what doesn't and with so many picks plus more coming with trade deadline, it's gonna be a different roster next season

My opinion, Frost, risto, bee, and maybe other small moves, i know it won't get you much back but the open space will

No it isn't. Who is coming in? The Jett™ and The Bonk™? Who else? Who is leaving? They have already shown that they have no interest in trading players on expiring contracts.

Bobby Brink hasn’t done anything great so far this season both defensively and offensively and Tyson Foerster was third in penalty minutes in the league at one point this season. Zamula, second worst in plus/minus on the team right now.

no space if the return is players not picks.

The fact that folks think 3 picks in the first round next year will put this team on the path to contention is laughable. Maybe if they get a top 5 pick that kid will play in the near future. The two other picks are mid to late rounders and will most likely be years away from making the roster.

They have a lot of work to do outside of the upcoming draft to right this ship. The draft is not an immediate fix.

Frankly WGAF. Nick D should not be in the lineup over either one of those kids.

I don't even think Bonk will be here next year. It was clear the kid needs a lot of work in preseason. Jett will most likely make the team out of positional need which is not a very good development plan for a young player.

Okay, well I guess Brink, Foerster and Zamula need to play better then. I’m just giving the facts of what’s led to them sitting.
