Ok, that’s fair
But idk that replacing ROR, Risto, etc gets that done
I think we need to ADD to them

- jdfitz77

I wouldn’t replace them necessarily.

I do think that upgrading from Risto as a #1 is a must. Doesn’t mean you have to trade him.

I also think moving Sam now while he still might be viewed as a really good young player might be smart. Especially if you can get a good top 4 D or top D prospect

Agreed

My views are in no way anti-Republican, or anti-Conservative...
just anti-Trump

Does waiting for Mittelstadt/Nylander/Ghule equate to blowing anything up though?
- Herzeleid


How badly is Nylander hurt? I don't think he's played a game yet this year.

Said at the start of the year it’s going to take 20 games to see what we really have...

Have some patience people.

Bothered by the nylander injury when it happened it was precautionary..... that was like 2 months ago.... and I still don’t think he is on the ice.

Tennyson has no place on this team

Fedun and Antipin look so much better

If Mittelstat is the real deal, I would consider moving Sam. It would have to be a Hockey trade.

Sam and a first for OEL type trade (obviously not enough) but something like that. I’m enjoying watching them come together.

It took 10 games, there’s still more work to be done but they’re improving. Hopefully they keep building on it. Tomorrow will be a good test.

Currently 14 million dollars without a point this year (the 3 amigos)

20 mil if you count Okposo

That is untenable

Nylander & Guhle should be able to at least be called up & provide a little help
I’d guess they’re both full-time by next season at the latest

Idk about Mittelstadt for next year though
Too soon to tell

antipin looks good, since I don't notice him in our end
- homiedclown

Definitely has some speed, noticed that a couple times, he seems to use his stick well too.

Moulson and Bogo for sure

Gorges is gone after this year.

I’m like what Pouliott is doing the last 3 games.

But getting a true #1 is basically impossible
I’m all for improving the defense,
but we gotta be realistic too
Hopefully we can still target Anaheim
I like their guys quite a bit,
and they have young guys coming to potentially replace
