Interesting to read the Wild's blogger who said Tyler Ennis has played his last game as a Wild. I wonder if somebody else will take a chance on him. Those concussions really did him in.....

if he didn't hire the ryan fat boys, probably would have made the playoffs 3 straight years


it's a mixed bag with the pegulas

some good, some bad


just like most owners

I think Rex was a very understandable hire at the time. Pegula had just been spurned by his coach, and Rex instantly gave the Bills some swagger and national press. The first year of Rex was fun imo. The second sucked

Agreed, as mediocre/bad as Rex was. It was the right hire at the time.

And it’s not like we were terrible with Rex

Better Days! Goo Goo Dolls......

There are a coming!

You can’t changed things overnight, I truly believe Pegula’s want to make this right. 3-5 years is a good time frame, these next few years will say it all. Going through coaches/GM’s until they get right fit (held Darcy too long), GMJB will get this organization going .........finally.

*Beanie/McDermott will live/die on this QB selection the next 3/4 years. It’s a tough business, it’s not fantasy’s as some on here think!

Have to give to get:

- Trade Ristolainen, ROR and a young prospect - maybe Nylander. If we get Dahlin, it opens up some great possibilities with 55. Guhle will be just fine, get Eichel a winger for 55. He will not be missed in the lockeroom.

- Goalie is another huge aspect of this make over - Ullmark and ?

- Give Jack the “C”

- Bring Lindy back as an assistant

- Those Uni’s and that Blue!

- New goal song, to bring on new memories.




NICE JOB MIKE!

Yup

Always "in the hunt"

Never could get over the hump

Bad coaching/play calling, a loss here or there, always close just never close enough.

Throughout the drought, I bet their average wins per season was close to 7. On the bad end of mediocre

They haven’t, which is why I never understood the absolute hate for Whaley.

Glad we have BB now, but people treated Whaley way worse than Murray or even Darcy

Nah, he’s right on this one, and it shouldn’t be a debate, but Lebron has been on an awful team for like 50% of his career now.

And? He's also playing in an NBA that protects him like the NFL does Brady.

You put LeBron in the Jordan-Era and he's Charles Barkley.

You realize Jordan left the Bulls and they won 50+ games and made the ECF.

Lebron left the Cavs and they picked 1st to get Kyrie.

It shouldn’t be a question at this point

He’s the 2nd or 3rd best of all time

Oh, good argument, just ignore the fact that Jordan left the Bulls for 2 years and those 2 years were book-ended on both sides by 3 consecutive NBA Championships. They absolutely would have won 8-straight and it's literally 100% because of Jordan.

If LeBron was even as good as Jordan, he wouldn't have 5 losses and 3 wins. He would have 6 wins.

I'm not saying LeBron isn't one of the greatest players of all-time, but he's not better than Jordan.

This is like trying to argue if Mario Lemieux was better than Wayne Gretzky.

So the fact that Jordan didn’t make a finals until he was 27 was a 100% Jordan’s fault then too I guess, right?

Jordan is the only player in NBA history to win the MVP, defensive player of the year award, and the NBA Championship in the same season.

Jordan has scored more points (in less games than Lebron) averages more points per game than Lebron, Kobe, Chamberlain, EVERYONE

Jordan turns the ball over less than Lebron and Kobe

Jordan averaged more steals per game than Lebron and Kobe

The category Lebron beats Jordan is assists and rebounds per game, Jordan beats Kobe in both of these.

He is the GOAT
