While I agree Risto and Zadorov are capable, we have yet to see it consistently. Who's to say they won't have serious hiccups.

In the past calendar year we have seen

Myers gone
Ehrhoff bought out
McNabb gone
Pysyk have a mysterious illness

The blue line is looking a lot thinner right now

Myers' last 4 years have been one big hiccup.

So they haven't done it consistently(Risto & Zads) and what's to say they don't have hiccups. Sounds alot like describing Tyler Myers here

Risto/Zads
Bogosian/Gorges
Pysyk/McCabe
Ruhwedel


Brycen Martin also appears to be a solid prospect.
Doesn't scream the cupboard is bare.

I thought the same thing
Difference is, u expect that from guys that aren't 20 yet
Myers was coming around for us though. His play was clearly better under Nolan, although still inconsistent in his own end...
And while some insisted he was a top pair guy, I never saw that in him
If he turns into one for Winnipeg, then good for them!
All I care about now is how Kane & Bogosian do for us

You could say the same for Zach Bogosian. He's no all star

Unrelated comment. The NFL might just do away with that extra point. I say fine. 7 pts, go to commercial, get on with it.

Might as well get rid of kickoffs then too.

No need for a kicker.

Saw some odd proposal where you could get 9 points on a td by converting a 2pt then kicking a 1pt from further out by the 33yrd line.

No, we should just blindly love every move he makes because he's built Stanley Cup teams as an NHL GM before and there is absolutely no way that he ends up doing a bad job here. That sounds better to me.

Go back to the night before this trade happened. 99% of us said it was a ridiculous trade and we wouldn't have done it.

I think watching this talentless team is really wearing on me

That I disagree with. The kickoff is a high intensity play. Anything can happen. The xp is a 99.3% play.

And what good does whining and moaning about it now do? We havent even seen half the assests involved yet. The trade is done, its not gonna change. You want someone to pat you on the back and tell you you were right or something?

No. I want our GM to be smarter next time he wants to acquire a player and not toss assets around like play money.

This has nothing to do with me being right or wrong, it has to do with whether this trade made us better.

Well to be fair Staff is a 2nd line winger.

Ok, again, what can be done about it now? Everyone wanted staff gone, myers was starting to come around, when kane was armias age he scored 30, lemeiux didn't want to sign here. This conversation has been hashed some many times with nothing new being said.

I didn't realize the extra point was where the men were separated from the boys.
