Would be worth a try anyways

Skinner. Cozens. Casey? Or Sam?

I'm smart enough to know it and man enough to own it. the golf tourney is quite entertaining right now fwiw.

never said they shouldn't

said they wouldn't



when the goalies were being signed left and right and we got none, I knew we were stuck with ullmark and hutton


I have said many times before to bury hutton, or whatever




when he got pilled on for a few losses when we scored zero goals, I defended him, because it didn't matter who we had in net we were losing




just like reinhart

I really don't think he is special
I think he is a good player


but when people started to pile on him because of where he was drafted and not named leon, I defended him for what he is


once they sign a contract and wear the jersey

it really doesn't matter where they were picked or what we gave up for him


it's a cap era and all that matters is how they produce and how much they get paid for that production



hutton sucks


he is not why we are dead last


he is 1 of many toothpicks on the floor but we need rain man to count how many are on the floor
- homiedclown

U also said he was “fine”
And argued against the goalie upgrade I’ve been calling for

Makes A LOT more sense than what Ralph is doing
- jdfitz77

I mean you could try tage instead of asplund



but they refuse to put sheahan on waivers to get to taxi squad


and they are not going to pay okposo to watch the game

I don't understand how anyone watches these players year after year and pins it all on coaching. This season is over and about 1/3 of this roster is UFA.
- Lunaion

Because the coaches we have/had are all trash.
The team has no heart
Good players come here and disappear
Players here that disappear go elsewhere and strive.

If you bring in new players like Hall and they disappear who do you want to blame? Hall? Eichel? Then bring in more players and watch them disappear too, then who do you blame? Sooner or later you have to wonder why players come here to die.

YAWN
- jdfitz77

He did have a good shift today. Stay awake he may have another

Of course not on a long term deal. You think another team is going to offer Ullmark $5M on a long term deal? That seems highly doubtful.
- kingcong39

I really don't know. The fact that he hasn't been able handle a starters workload is a problem. But if you aren't going to pay him as a starter, why shouldn't he test the market?

Skinner. Cozens. Casey? Or Sam?
- Gr8daygo

Sure.
Whoever there would be “ok” with me
It’s more about playing Skinner with some actual talent, & giving Cozens a shot at Center

Dahlin, Joker, Eichel, Hall, Skinner and Staal all regressed under this moron. What more evidence do you need?

YAWN
- jdfitz77

it took you all of ten minutes to respond to him after you just said you wouldn't. you cant make that poop up. unreal. be a man dont be an it.

How anyone could have confidence in him, I suppose.
- Lunaion

I mean, who in the entire organization is worth of inspiring confidence? I vote nobody.

Fixing this team begins with firing the coach, and ASAP.

Why? Because they cannot tank yet again, on purpose anyway, and making over the roster is going to take the totality of the trade deadline and offseason, but you can fire the coach without waiting.

Firing the coach is only step one.

Casey was playing well and he got scratched for Okposo.

- jdfitz77

he was a backup suppose to play 25 percent of the games


this is a really bad team, and the goalie numbers go hand in hand with how bad the team is



when they are not claiming a goalie, on waivers that can help, and have Michael Houser as your emergency goalie

the season is over

I agree completely nice post.

Fire the coach and get the change started now.

Give the players some hope for the future or else this dumpster fire will continue next year too.

Bring in someone who will instill heart into this team.

So what do you offer him, to keep him from hitting UFA? An average starter makes 5m. Willing to go there on a long term deal?
- Lunaion

Well he’s top ten in both GAA and S% for starters over 12 games (roughly, don’t know exact). You say the average starter, so since he’s “less” proven, 3.75-4 for 3/4 years perhaps? He’s one of the few that has played well not only this year, but the last two.

olofsson can score pp goals


so ralph stays

firing the coach could kill the tank though.

- homiedclown

I’m not trying to give u sh!t here,
but do u really think Tage deserves more time in the lineup?
Have u actually liked him at all this season?

He looks like the same lost player as when we first got him
89 said to trade him for Deslauriers last night
Deslauriers is a 4th line face puncher,
& I’d be totally ok doing that for Tage

He’s a good AHL player, but that’s it
