There is no way in hell that Rodin pushes Boeser into the press-box...

It's the only risky signing. Could turn out to be a nice insurance option if the Sedins retire and we could trade him for picks. Or he could bust when he isn't sheltered by a strong team. The best thing about all of these signings are zero NTC

I dont disagree at all. Im just hoping moves are made to acquire prospects and picks is all. Thats how the leafs did was all with 1 year deals and it worked really well for them.

Horvat has had more NHL fights than the Sedins Tanev and Edler combined. He is a serious goon

@maury

Idk really what u define a rebuild as.
Toughness at this point is not important without a set future competitive roster.
Til prospects develop its more auditioning & some stability than anything else.
I can see many more trades from now til 2019 happening.

Rebuild as in trading old assets for young ones.

Toughness is important if you have a young team so that kids like stetcher last year arent getting beaten on.

As long as he starts moving out aging vets finally or this players on short term deals I am fine. Not saying he wont but not confident in this groupl either.

Horvat fighting Nurse and Miller saving Stecher are the only memorable moments of the entire season...(frank) I hope Gudbranson is healthy

Dude, way off base. Edler is a heavyweight enforcer.

Further to add to that is next season & the 1 after drafting more & developing prospects. Toughness from within is coming but D & the PP can be improved most.

Only when vets fetch good assets & needs.
Atm we have many wingers we've to see is here longterm.
At C & D is where patience is needed.
Lots to do but we r getting there slowly but surely bro

You are ok with our most physical forward being....granlund? Horvat?
- CanuckDon



I didn't say I was ok with it. But that's what I think will happen. I just don't see Dorsett as a factor this year. I think he'd be more useful in Utica than in the press-box here, playing 6 minutes every 5th game.

I guess the whole "Boston model" is out the window now. This team is softer than the 2011 squad at this point. Hopefully Sutter can show us how big his balls are this year, otherwise he'll be redundant in a hurry.

Next season is just one more on the path of the rebuild....

Massive roster turnover since JB arrived.
Finally he has the go ahead for the rebuild.
Drafting & trading has stocked our system better than ever before.

New coaching team with new systems will take a lil time to implement.
Patience & pain for a 2 years or so is to come.
Plenty of kids to groom & Utica finally has some talent.
