Yeah because 2 vet Dman who are mediocre and past their prime can fill the void just the same AND save us cap space.
- Aaron_85

Yeah thats not actually going to work like we plan.

Give all our crap d core more minutes and we will get better, makes perfect sense.
- Yeti1181

Bring in better dmen with the money saved. Not a hard concept

Hey look at my avatar... its Iginla on the Blue Jays.... now thats what im talking about Jack!

If his cap hit is sh!t and his play is getting worse by the minute.
Keeping the best crappy dman who can't lead, is the answer
- Fakepartofme

He can't lead because a bunch of posters on a site say he can't doesn't actually make it true. He has crap for defensive teammates and the forwards don't know where our end is.

The d can't get worse.

Can't believe there are people that still want Orr and McLaren, ie. burn.

- Fakepartofme

Who is this magical d man that we are going to bring in? Seems to be a hard concept since nobody has the answer.

The d can't get worse.
- Fakepartofme

Oh it can.

The d can't get worse.
- Fakepartofme

Yes. Yes it can. We have 7 more spots to fall in a draft that tell me it can...

But the results and his play on the ice along with all collapses in the past 3 years do make it true.
He's not a number 1. Fact

It's team game with 25 plus other players but let's blame 1 guy.

It doesn't have to be one. Bring in or up a couple of defensive dmen

Untrue. Orr can legit fight heavyweights. Tootoo has more than a 1st gear when skating.
- weirdoh

and both a waste of a roster spot

No, they'll be other players changed too. But he has to be one if them, if they want a culture change

I agree to this but getting rid of him right NOW I don't think helps. If there's interest now with his contract going forward there will be interest in the future...even in a year I think.

If the D can't get worse and he STILL has interest from GMs then it can only go up in that line of thinking.

- Fakepartofme

So we want to replace 1 person with two people now so basically we can't replace him and his minutes. Cause now we have to take some else roster spot and are replacing two people's minutes now.

- Fakepartofme

There's a lot to change if we are changing the culture might as well rebuild now then.

No now is the time, his new contract with a ntc kicks in on July 1st

Pfft...

You can't even beat Italy! You clearly know nothing.
- Aaron_85

I didn't play Italy.

The other guys did.

Oh so you no showed, shocking.

No that's stupid.
Move the captain, get some new supporting players.

- Yeti1181

Ya exactly, taking out another crappy d player with someone more defensively responsible.
Improving the d

Oh so you no showed, shocking.

it'd be so freaking cool if the u.s. could win the world cup

- Flyfreaky

It would be almost as annoying as Italy or Portugal winning

No that's stupid.

I don't think it's that easy honestly.
