What possed you to eat those?!

easiest bet I've ever made and I'm going to lose it and the cherry on top is them making the playoffs before us smh

Just double checked and it was a 1st 2016 and a 2nd in 2017. My mistake.

30th overall in 2016 (Sam Steel, pretty good prospect)
2nd round pick in 2017 (Leafs? Could be decent pick)
And the kicker? Then signed to a 5 years-$25 million contact
He is 27 years old

Would rather Lehner deal over that 100 times out of 100. Lehner is 25 years old.

he's playing pretty good with that defense just fine ..

we gave up an early late first-round pick in one of the deepest drafts in history

By the way Happy New Year's Eve everyone

ok, now for the good things Murray has done

1. finding more than serviceable back up goalies, many times we expected the worst
Nilsson
Johnson
Lindback
Neuvirth

2. getting decent value for miller and ott
in essence he got a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd and Carrier (2nd from moving stewart)

3. getting a throw in for the ROR trade, Mcginn
I had no expectations for him with his back, he performed well and we got a 3rd rd pick for him at the end.

4. trading Moulson and spice boy to the wild, getting in essence 2 2nds and a 7th (moving mitchell)
The crazy part which I give him credit for is he got them to sign with us as ufa's a few months later. I never agreed bring Moulson back but being able to convince a player to go elsewhere and then come back as a free agent says something.

5. getting a 3rd for mike weber, nuff said


the draft picks will play out and we will know more in 5 years, but there has been some good things done


I will avoid talking about the bad for a day or 2

I have been here for 10 years and read the forum daily (sometimes 30 pages of backtracking). What l don't understand is why certain people come back here just to female dog and moan on a daily basis. Does it make you feel better to try to belittle other posters? You remind me of the guy who failed senior year and comes back to torment the underclassmen (yes I am thinking of O'Bannion).

I enjoy hearing the insights and the positives. We know who is not playing well. Every player on our team is an NHL caliber player whether you like to admit it or not (besides Grant maybe). We have the talent to bet a top 5 team in the conference.

Everyone loves to female dog about Murray, but what really has he done that has been horrible for the team's future? Traded a 1st for a goalie who has better numbers than Luongo right now? Or give 2 firsts for Anderson, who's numbers are not much better?

Trade Pysyk for a top 4 defenseman and move up to get the guy you want? Kulikov could be traded at the deadline and Pysyk could be lost at the expansion draft.

I know everyone here could do a better job as GM, but what we have now is better than what we have had in a long time. Darcy had how many years and everyone wants to fire TM after 3years?

It was a late first (30th) and a second in 2017.
Considering the way he's played the last couple of months, not a bad deal.

So Finland is not going to be in next year's World Juniors?

To be fair, Andersen has been phenomenal.

You think 27 is old for a goalie?

He has too much pride to show that he's wrong

Outside of the fact th at Lehner can't stop a beach ball in shoot outs ...
do tell why he is crap?

It be pretty crazy though if they got kicked out

for starters would it kill him to ever win a game for us . I mean before we were not scoring any goals now hes giving up three goals a game

Can he take over a game sometime is that too much to ask ..

Pach had a nic e article back a couple weeks about how Lehner is playing as well as Nillson, but the team conveniently forgets to score goals when he is playing....so, is it on him now to actually drive the net and poke in a few himself?
The whole hate on Lehner is so over done, again except for shootouts. Hey forwards...there's 12 of you playing out there...think 3 of you could poke one in a night? Can anyone go these guys actually bury a shot rather than hit posts, shoot wide, fire it into the goalie?
Last game against Boston he stops a shorty breakaway...then gets beat from in front while 2 Sabres screen him.
Lehner isn't the problem.

To be fair, Andersen has been phenomenal.
