4-11 after 15. IMHO.

Just a point to note, 10 of their first 15 games are against the eastern conference, including a 6 game road trip out east. With that in mind, I don't think a rough first 15 games would be enough to sink WD.

some coaches have been canned after 8 loses in a row to start a season.

linden seems to have a long long leash for his buddies. For this reason for christs sake dont hire your buddies in a pro sports franchise. We've seen that lesson with burkie over and over

As for Willie I think he is a very nice guy but as a coach he just does not cut it. He will be canned once the wheels fall off. He gets outcoached game in and game out. JMO

Is it the craziest idea rob play Hansen with the sedins and see if loui can click with another line?
It will inevitably happen and some point in the season, may as well see who meshes

Louie Eriksson signed with Vancouver because he was told he gets the Sedins. Why start with head games WD, I sure as hell you told Louie not to worry, lol

Maybe JB should be coaching if he is making lineup decisions for WD?

and he will play with the Sedins (PP1 at the very least).
however, it is inevitable that they will be split up at some point this season when the scoring dries up.
Not a big deal to see who else he gels with.
ps feelings.

A few months ago I said they should try him with Bo...could that still be a thing?

Moving on...what is Chia Pet doing over there? Yak for a bag of pucks. I know he hasn't panned out but damn I think you should have gotten more than that! Hell Sbisa for Yaks would have been better

I think he'd light it up with Bo and Sven.

He has gotten rid of half of his first over all picks for Larsen and future considerations. Yet Benning gets ripped for trading for a third overall pick. That seems fair

I think he'd light it up with Bo and Sven.

I think he would too which would add scoring depth

eesh.
Yak and Hall for Larsen and a 3rd? thats...ouch.

although the pundits will spin it to:

Yak and Hall for Larsen, Lucic, Russel and a (?maybe 2nd).
Even that must be hard to stomach for fans.

that would be the argument.
Allowing Rodin Sutter and JV be a decent 3rd line.

a couple of weeks ago according to all sources we couldnt even get a 3rd for him....now if he scores 15 we will get a second....I dont know what people thought he would fetch us...he isnt a good player sad but true...he couldnt light it up playing with McDavid ffs....1st overall picks should be drivers not passengers.....he failed at every chance given

that would be the argument.

One they should explore....Loui is going to have to find someone else besides the twins to gel with...they certainly wont be around in 6 years

eesh.

Depends on how you look at it but tbh its been beaten to death for months now

That's exactly what Kiprisoph(sp) said during the Leafs?Detroit intermission..

I suppose the other GMs had Chia over a barrel so to speak, knowing Edm had to offload some forwards, but...i dunno.
in hindsight, why sell low?
Why not move RNH or even Drai and try and get back some value, while still developing the Yaks? or even take another reclamation project back as opposed to a 3rd?

I would have been pissed in we got a 3rd for CoHo. at least Kassian had potential.

Im waiting a season to see how this all plays out before I pass judgement...but lets say we do better this year....like alot better....not playoff but in the hunt....were these moves so terrible? did we really get robbed? to get something you have to give something so it will be interesting to see how all parties involved do this year......if Hall wins the scoring title but Jersey finishes in the bottom 3 did we get fleeced if we got better?....its all subjective at this point as I said we will have to see what happens when the games really matter

that would be the argument.
