Isn't bringing Schwartz in just another example of bringing someone in who has no NHL experience to try and learn on the job? I'm sure there's some differences between WHL and NHL goalie coaching.

their accent can be rather sexy. I had a fun time over in England a couple years back on a rugby trip. They love Canadian rugby guys

It fits right in with our plan. Bring in the Junior player and throw him to the wolves

I would be absolutely shocked if scrivens/fasth numbers go up with a new goalie coach but no roster changes

I doubt they will go up immediately maybe not even by the end of the year but next year I would expect improvement. It took the summer for them to go from decent to crap, I expect it will take a similar amount of time to return them to decent.

Read Stauffer's bit on him. He sounds like he has some good background in technique.

We'll see. Doesn't change the need for better d though.

I was in Scotland a few months back..... lets just say thankfully Beckinsale isn't Scottish

this is very true as well

Well do we honestly have to wait 40 games in order to get a guy like that... like why wait until the TDD to make a transaction

The key is the OTHER team wanting to make the move.

Literally the only team that we can guarantee wants to sell off assets at this stage is buffalo.

We might have no choice but to wait. These assumptions that fair trades are there but mact is too scared to do it is silly imo

Oilers fans be talkin' bout the glory days of Kruger

.463 winning percentage and missed the playoffs lol

Scottish girls to British girls are like the Newfie Girls to Nova Scotian girls.

You don't think Mact is trying?
- Iggysbff

I think he has been trying over the last 10 or so days... but I do think he could have tried harder at the end of last season...

Dat change dough

I would argue that Carolina would be in there. Columbus and Dallas might be, depending on the proposed deal, but they still have a chance to redeem their current standing position.

I am sure that Toronto will be sellers soon- they have been up and down all season...

I would like to know what is happening with Loktionov.

Yes, they have done this from the very top of the organization, right down to the bottom. Why don't they bring in someone with NHL experience? Is KLowe purposely surrounding himself with inexperience just to keep his iron grip on this franchise?

Food for thought.

And even buffalo by all accounts doesn't want a fair deal per se.
They want a huge haul for a guy with a bunch of question marks.

Carolina, Dallas, Philly, Toronto are all looking for defence. They're our competition not partners IMO.

good things like this must be carried over to at least 2-3 pages... its just the right thing to do
