Sooo...
The Wayne Train gets in a scrap 4 minutes in and there's been nothing significant in terms of fights, goals, penalties, caring etc... since then.

We're almost 120 minutes of no goals and no one seems to care....

Trades, firings, releases, buyouts....I don't care what!

Know what would be better than doing nothing?

ANYTHING!

This team is hellacious and I hate the fact that nothing is being done! I don't agree with some of Homer's moves but at least he wasn't content to be a spectator when things were going wrong. He didn't make moves to hurt the team...he did what he thought was right. Turns out many of his choices were wrong ones but at least he tried. What if Amac was as good as Homer thought? What if Vinny was able to find the fountain of youth and skate faster? What is Emery was as good for us as he was for Chicago? Homer tried stuff and things didn't turn out....


What is the front office trying to do right now????

That spinorama is Streit's move.

Remember when L. Schenn tried the spinorama at the blueline that time. That was a beauty.

Draft Hanafin
Trade Coburn for a pick.
Take top goalie prospect with that pick.
Buyout RJ

No need to buy out RJ this team isn't going anywhere next year.

2 legit top 6 players in Giroux and Voracek while the rest are average or below average. unless its a PP then Simmonds is useful.

Mark streit is having a solid season and would be an amazing 3 dman a this point in his career but we have to play him like he is a number 1.

A team with literally 0 fire. Giroux gets hit multiple times a few games ago an no one even looks at him angry.

Back to back shut outs against.

I dont even know what to say.

I thought they would be an average at best team this season with Giroux , Voracek, Simmonds and Mason leading them but the results just arent there..its horrible.

Everyone but G and V are on the table, but start with players you don't want back. Get what you can and even eat some to free up cap space if you have to. It's 2 years later than it should've started, but you have to finally start the rebuild. 2 years of G and V wasted on fools Gold.

DO NOT FIRE BERUBE!!!

Wait until the offseason to do it. If you do it mid season you run the risk of whoever the guy who takes over the reigns getting these guys to play better and screwing up a top 5 pick.

Let this man keep his job the entire season, TANK TANK TANK!

They're not gonna magically do better with whomever takes over, nor will they tank. They're a bad team but I'm doubting a top five pick bad regardless of what happens next.

Disagree. Part of the problem is coaching. This team should be a bubble team, not a McDavid contender.

Voracek and Giroux both still had less 5v5 ice time than Rinaldo.
