I'm sure he's referring to the Sedins, because he always does lol; but I'm in agreement with you in that you'll see at least three players moved this year. And no not the Sedins Vantel

He needs to let that go. Not gonna happen so no point in even discussing scenarios.

Ya its definately everyones fault. GM made some bad decisions along with the owners (Luongo/Schneider/Torts)...Torts isn't the right coach for this group of guys...and the players weren't into the system and didn't play well (and were honestly plagued by injuries).

I don't mind the core group. This would be my lineup for the top 6
Sedin, Sedin, Kasssquatch.
Burrows, Kes, Booth

I like Bieksa, Hamhuis, Edler, Garrison...

Keep Lack for a backup and maybe make a run at Hiller or Elliott this offseason???

I also don't think they are as bad as they are playing. And I think that has to do with a few things, ie: coaching, injuries.
The fact is that in order to do a rebuild, you have to suck for a while. Unless you're Detroit.

Or tor and edm. They've only been rebuilding for 10 yrs.

Bringing back my 3way trade proposal...

To PHI: Kesler, Byfuglien
To WPG: B.Schenn, Coburn (prairie boy waives NTC), PHI 1st
To VAN: E.Kane, WPG 1st, NHL rights to Burmistrov

Draft Ehlers w/ WPG's pick
Draft Kempe w/ our pick

Sedin Sedin Burrows
Kane Horvat Kassian
Ehlers Burmistrov Jensen

Eventually those young/fast/exciting middle lines will be our top 6 & we'll have Gaunce & Kempe on the 3rd.

Easy to say coaching but for the last two years the PP has been dropping off and we have been winning fewer games. I think we had one win in our last 11 playoff games . Hard to blame Torts for that.
last year fire AV fire Gillis , this year fire Torts fire Gillis . How bout we fire the core instead.

Jesus, put your franchise in the hands of a punk kid who constant has off ice issues. Does what has happened in edm and tor really seem that amazing that we want to do it too?

Don't see the Jets trading Kane, Byfuglien, high 1st, Burmistrov's rights or B.Schenn, Coburn and a lower first. They'd want another valuable asset back.

Gillis's first year:

in (08/09) the team was 17th in the league at 18.8%.
In (09/10) the team was 6th at 20.9%.
In (10/11) the team was 1st at 24.3%.
In (11/12) the team was 4th at 19.8%.
In (12/13) the team was 22nd at 15.8%
In (13/14) the team is 27th at 14.9%

The major drop-off in 12/13 can be attributed to the players, or lack of. Although a team like San Jose has dropped from 4th-2nd-2nd-7th-17th over the past five years?

Ya think there is an Ehrhoff correlation is there......

If MG could somehow pull that off, I'd be on board but the Jets GM would likely be run out of town IMO. Seguin apparently has off-ice issues, ask Dallas how he's working out with Benn. Edmonton is just poorly managed and doesn't have enough(any?) quality veterans that can control a locker room.

How about Mike Gillis puts an actual top six, with six top six players, together? Say that three times quickly

I don't see us winning any of the next three and for game 81 and 82 we may see Markstrom in goals and Bieksa shut down.
