if he only trades for kane, lehner, and ror

this team is in much better shape

- homiedclown


True.

He's really aggressive, and I like that about him, but it's cost the team a couple times too.

It's always interesting, though. Gotta be thankful for that at least.

Give up depth players, A first-line player or ( top defenseman) , top 6 forward, top 4 defenseman

Wasted 5 second round picks

Yep we wasted a lot

Retaining Bylsma is only going to encourage Jack to look to Boston...

And if Sam Reinhart played like the best player in the draft maybe we would be talking about playoffs

find a number one left d man
find a number 2 right d man
find a 3rd line center

ship out bogo, ennis, moulson, girgens, larsson, ennis and maybe foligno

- homiedclown



Don't see anyway that all happens and I'd like to keep Foligno... and if we have the last week of the season Ennis, him too. 3 line center we can keep Evan, or shift Sam there, where I actually thought he was starting to play well.

Otherwise I agree with you. but that's a lot of retooling for one off season.

Here are the only questions i care about for Tim Murray:

1. What is your plan to fix defense

2. What is your plan at expansion draft

3. What is your plan with Kane

4. What is your plan on College/Euro free agents

5. What is your plan with players already drafted that are currently in Europe (Asplund, Possler, Oloffson)

Edit; 6. What is your plan with players already drafted that are currently in College (Peterson, Fitzgerald, Brown, Willman, Hurley)

Bullpoop...last time I checked Pegula wasn't putting in some stupid ass scheme that doesn't work and refusing to adjust to a system that does.

Bylsma sucks. Murray needs to be fired if he doesn't have the ability to see that.

we have depth...you just want to complain... who on your "list"is better then ROR, or Kane ? I want Names

It must be nice to go back and say you should have picked this guy or that guy 3 years later.... Problem is you can do that with EVERY GM and every ORG.

Yes...because that's what every businessman wants...something that will hurt the bottom line.

Maybe he just tried to rebuild too quickly and grabbed at the pieces he could get instead of being patient and waiting for the right ones?

Sure, and the ones that put together a good team can be forgiven. He hasn't (yet) and has about 365 days or less to do so

We might not. We don't know yet. Jack Roslovic, Colin White, JT Compher etc are just breaking into the league. All while we are still a bottom 5 team.

Timing is crucial.

so if Disco is TG's insistence, is he also insisting he needs to stay? if GMTM was against it, and continues to lobby for his dismissal, how happy can he be without having much control on what happens on the ice

Its a silly argument you wont win right now. Its obvious we got the better players Now and gave up future potential. What is yet to be seen is how much better or worse those players will be in a a couple years. There is absolutely still a chance that we "lose" some or all of those trades down the line. There is a reason value was placed on the assets we gave up.
