I don't see the big deal with Eriksson myself, but i know some need a whipping boy.
Baertschi sucks and we've all known that for awhile, and somehow he get's put down as a 1st line winger on many rosters.

I like Gudbranson and would re-sign him myself.
this team needs more grit, not less.

Sven is more defacto LW cuz chemistry with Bo & Bo is 1C.
Nothing more & will be bumped down or traded eventually is my guess.
Better if he were 3LW

Benning fired by end of January 👍🏻
- LeftCoaster

I say the TDL could be his make or break as the 1st bullet to dodge 😜

Sven is a slow starter. Top liners are not easy to find for this team right now. Maybe he gets moved down like LE.

If so, do you have Granlund in with BO and BB or call up producing Goldy and have a look?
- Nuck4U

Goldy called up only when he rounds out his 200' game IMO
Maybe Rodin gets the call idk

Have you seen Goldy play lately? Cull has said good things. Puts him on PK. Not sure if label should hang just like JV "not fit" label. Young players adapt and change or they find themselves out.

Rodin has longer climb adjusting it seems. Haven't seen or heard much yet.

Can we waive Gagner and bring up Goldy yet?
- dbot

4 games new team, new system waive them all, unfranking believable. This fanbase is just pathetic.

He's already shot himself in the foot a couple of times.

A lil tidbit...

Either the NHL or NHLPA could exercise early termination before the 2020 season.
See page 31 Article 3 of the CBA. LE has his contract front end loaded for that very purpose

All hope is not gone yet.

then he starts lighting it up then the mood changes, hes struggled mightily but hes on a different line every game pretty much, pretty tough to gain any chemistry, they have misused him when hes been healthy.

I consider the loser point a loss.
Its smoke n mirrors IMO

Its a tie, with individual skills to determine the outcome of a team game is what it is.

Sven is not a top 6 forward even on a bad team and Loui is a dork

Snippits yes. AHL is not the NHL. He would have to have turned a big corner i think.

HB going to fire him?

Do we really need to listen to somebody extolling the virtues of the whole god damn organization for another entire season?

- A_SteamingLombardi

Mortally wounded? Lol
I agree he will be on the hot seat.
I said in preseason this year was gonna be an the microscope year. I wouldn't bet on him being here if real money.

Coach would never do it but i think Virtanen should be top 6 with the Sedins.
