They have great success drafting forwards. Which makes me think Laughton is going to be a player. Defense, and goaltending not so much.

agreed all around man

i personally think at least the d-man part has a lot to do with patience

Spent the night at Hinkie's house. No chance of that happening.

Was sheer genius trading an all-star for a pipe cleaner with a bad knee.

No doubt about it. D-men and goaltenders take a long time to develop. If they get rushed it could ruin them.

i hear ya man. i was a carle supporter, but i also thought they made the right call in letting him walk (albeit a tough decision, imo)

but now? and it's unfair to judge streit in that context i guess because he had nothing to do with all of that (and it probably had a lot more to do with suter/weber than anything else) but he's gonna have to perform pretty damn well to change my feelings on this. say what you will about carle, but he filled a much bigger role than 3rd pairing pp specialist

obviously we need to reserve judgment until, ya know, streit actually plays a game. but i'd be lying if i said i felt good about it right now

- FlyerMike18


Streit is a former captain. I guess they are hoping he will take a leadership role on the team. I never got the impression that Carle had any leadership qualities.

They will finish 14-68 next year and lose the lottery. See Kane, Patrick.

He's no JvR.

A lot of rumors floating around. Lets see what Holmgren does after training class with Hinkie.

They are setting up that team so there is no way they can win...basketball out of all of the sports you need to tank to win... Maybe worth it to get wiggins next year

I wonder if it will be a big blockbuster trade with St Louis,

They have 3 goalies and some very good defenseman... with Couts going back in a package deal of some sort

If Wiggins was a certainty I would agree. What if they don't get Wiggins? They traded their best player, who is 23 for a project big man with an injury.
