Since Robin Lehner is the only guy that plays with emotion, fire Bylsma and make him head coach.

Are we worried that the Isles might scoop up Gallant as their next HC.

I dont think he's great or anything just looks that way next to bylsma. I still think the college route is the way to go. Heard some NCAA coach recently won gold with the US...beat Canada twice

In the end...no matter which individual player decides to play like poop on any given night...

This team would be sitting in a much better position playing an offense-oriented game...and that is on this coach.

ha ha yes Mosko. College coaches don't normally succeed in the NHL. Actually Haskol in Philly is the only one recently to make the transition. I would prefer Gallant or Scott Gordon.

So, realistically when GMTM goes into sell mode at TDL, what can we expect as a return for the following:
Ennis - 2nd? Could be only a3rd due to last 2 years.
Foligno - 2nd? (Probably not trading, serviceable 3/4 RW)
Gus - 3rd?
Gionta - 3rd?
Carrier - 3/4th?
Dlo - 7th?
Bogo - not tradeable at TDL
Kuli - 2/3rd?
Franson -3rd
Gorges - 3rd

Not that I expect all to go, but those are the assets as I see them potentially being moved.
I guess the take-away is the true value is getting rid of contracts, not so much the return.

9 picks in the 3rd round That would be epic

We are not gonna see that many guys traded. I would think Franson and Kulikov will get moved and we'll keep Falk and Fedun up for the rest of the year. Gorges might go but not sure yet. Any trades they do make have to think about the upcoming expansion draft.

i wouldnt move carrier, and girgensons is playing on a show me contract. larsson has been marginally better, you could add him to the list when hes healthy. move the others if you like. i would not object to using one of those picks to have vegas take moulson off of our hands.

his system is boring there's no doubt and playing like this when you're trying to compete will fail. But they scored 3 goals last night. and have averaged somewhat close to that amount since Eichel's return despite bylsma's system.

Im not saying don't fire him, but I dont think youd see a change in their position in the standings if you did that. Theyd score more and concede more, way more entertaining but not much of a difference results wise.

If you move carrier and ullmark at the deadline it puts vegas in a spot where they may be forced to take one of the bad contracts anyways

We should look for a goalie of the future that's ready now because Lehner is not the answer, the Devils may move Schneider.

Will be 31 in March


Will be 33-34 when the team is ready to compete for a playoff spot (at this rate)

Will be 34-36 when they're ready to challenge for a cup.
