Call Minnesota:

Eichel for Rossi, Boldy, a first and dumba with a salary dump

Call Vancouver:

Sam for a first plus

Call Winnipeg

Risto for harkins and a first

Call someone to flip dumba for first and some change

Call Calgary for a first for Hall

Call anyone for stall for a second

Retain on any as needed (Except Eichel)

Do them all within 5 minutes so no one catches on, oceans eleven style

Mix and match first between 21/22

Accept we suck and play Irwin and kids for a couple years. NHL experience, mentor and let the kids learn.

Hope it gets rid of some bad karma, or just get ready for this again in 10 years

Can I summarize all that to this?

Hall for Tkachuk as the core pieces of a trade with Calgary.

Think they would for a season or two. Obviously they won’t do this. They’ll be convinced that they are so close and just need a couple more pieces. I’m convinced that after seeing them for this long this way, drastic measures have to be taken. If you are going to trade Eichel, DO NOT LET HIS NTC KICK IN. If you think we are a piece away, I’ll still watch and already be looking at the 2021 prospects like I’m in a dynasty hockey league at this point

If you think we’re a Tkachuk away. We all thought we were a Hall away from at least competing. For what? Unsure, maybe just as an NHL team. Clearly we were wrong. I’m so (frank)ing fed up with it tbh

No, no WE all didn't think that.
I had them battling for 7th in the Division.

They may surprise us and dig deep to achieve 29th or 30thk

I did say challenging to look like an NHL team. So there’s that. Most pundits had us at like 5/6 in our stacked division. But we’re really just that bad that we’re worse then NJ.

You are correct. The millionaire players should at least be playing hard for pride, not to mention their pay.

The season ends today for me. I'm on the trail again tomorrow. I'll post a picture or two from the Grand Canyon in about 50 days. I'll miss griefing with yall, but since my grief source will be gone....

Happy trails

Good convos the past few months.

Have a great trip. The canyon is the one of the coolest things in the world. 👍

Eichel sounded as though he had no clue in his after game presser, no emotion or answers. Dahlin sounded pissed and I just can't stomach Krueger anymore. You read the Buffalo News and it seems nobody that writes for that paper has an issue with Krueger, it seems to me they think it's the players.

Because he can’t help himself. No coach can

Ristolainen is big, tough, physical and knows how to lose the right way
- sbroads24


Let's draft a generational talented defenseman #1.

By year 3, he's gonna be much better than risto.

Best hope is to sell the team
