yeah. I say liquidate, but we know some guys won't be going anywhere.

CBJ is going to finish 5th in the standings?

Right now they could be #1.

burrows might get a 4th.
Larsen might get a 5th or 6th
Granlund or Baertschi. Don't need 2 3rd line LW

I don't see it. I think they'll make the playoffs but I doubt they stay near the top.

I guess I'm more surprised that there is nothing except excuses and complaints that the issues are WD ad nauseum, yesterday it was B2B and tough schedule, or whatever the reasons that are the flavour of the day, week, month.

So I like to point out that it's the talent deficient players and I'm accused of angry and depression. Maybe it's because I'm a ref and shouldn't have an opinion, but there is only so much WD bs I can stomach...it's the players with a dose of WD on top.

WD does suck...the schedule has sucked. Hard to dispute either issue. But yes, ultimately they are losing because they don't have enough talent. The Sedin's decline has also been a huge factor.

I meant literal, right now they have only 26 gp and are 3 points out of top spot. win both and would be 1 point ahead of montreal with same amount of gp

I think it is almost time to embrace who we are. We are sitting 3 points out of last and have played 2 more games than most teams.

We should be getting a top 4 pick , another teams failed prospect, an AHL allstar and the 61 st .

kind of looks inconsequential.... I guess every bit helps.

I prefer a line up that isn't built of AHLer's like right now.

This is it. With guys like Jooris available for next to nothing we continue to roll with 6 AHL guys in the lineup. I'd have to agree at this point they are looking at another high pick.

Megna - AHL
Chapoo - AHL
Gaunce - AHL
Baertchi - AHL
Hutton - AHL
Skille - AHL (for the most part)

How are we going to beat top 10 teams consistently with those 6 constantly in the lineup?

Perhaps Aquilini has issued a payroll freeze. Would certainly make sense as they have stopped improving Utica as well. For some reason this isn't discussed.

Jonny Hockey has a brother. Undrafted.

I've been asking myself if I should be happy JB has stood pat with the lineup vs making a trade or waiver pickup?

why does being patient have to be a long, drawn out ordeal?

I would have like the occasional waiver scrap. Griffith or boucher to add a bit more skill and Jooris over having a complete AHL 4th line.
Every team every year is rebuilding with the draft. Takes time, no one like to wait anymore.

Oh I agree. Even his late round picks like Tate Olson and Brett McKenzie have some potential.

I like the new handle you have given me (what's his name), if I was a little bit bright I would change it for this site but I can' t figure out how to do that.

Look at Burrows Tanev Eriksson and Edler 20 mil in salary 11 goals . Thats where your problem is, not Megna and his 2 goals.

How many games have we won with Tanev and Edler out again?

Tanev has scored 14 goals in his entire career (302 games) and has only played 7 games this year. I get what you are saying, but Tanev isn't on the team for his goal scoring abilities
