On this Memorial Day, cheers to my Uncle Mike, who died in Normandy not long after the invasion, and to my father and father in law, both of whom served in the Navy in WWII and who are now deceased.

poop, you must be an old Bastard yourself . Born in the 50’s?

I think this is a very high possibility. The tanking is over, it’s time to win. Now is the time to make a move for a winger.
- Pegullaville

Which should be for 1st or 2nd am I willing to overpay for both ? Yes both are going to be franchise players

Then we have a core of (z or Svechnikov) Casey , jack ,dahlin

To me the rest of the team is fair game to get this

I just don’t see Botts pulling that off. I sure as hell wouldn’t move picks 2 or 3.

I'm thinking ristolainen , ROR for Weber(cap dump),3rd OV ,Alex g

ROR , Sam , 2nd round , Pu, Guhle for 2nd overall and noah hanifin

No one supported him. Got criticized by every liberal outlet. Was also ran out of league. Won a playoff game, was still young, sucked, but better then some backups and 3rd strong QBs.

He never kneeled during the anthem it appears.

Why so much blind confidence? Ullmark + ? + ? is a huge unknown. It could easily end up being similar or worse.
- Lunaion

Well I’m assuming that whoever pairs with Ullmark will at least be someone like Bernier or Hutton
Not that they’re awesome,
but pretty hard to be worse

Even if who we have is just average,
that’ll be better than what we got last year

Lehner had a .908 save%
Johnson was at .891%

I haven’t looked to see where that ranks league wide,
but i bet it’s pretty close to the bottom

I like you fitz but your answers just confirmed what I've been preaching about I don't think will be the worst team in the league but will be in the bottom five
- GERBE!!!75PTS

But we will bring in another goalie,
a Bernier type or better
So that quashes that argument

Sure, neither Sam or Okposo are speedy
But both will definitely have a better first half than they did last year, right?
So that quashes that argument

I’m not expecting guys like Bailey & Baptiste to light the world on fire
But their speed alone is an upgrade to the style of play we want,
especially over scrubs like Nolan, Moulson, Griffith, Criscuolo, etc etc etc
So that squashes that argument

Like i said...
i can’t say exactly how much better we will be
But there are many factors at work here that are moving us in the right direction

so nashville fans want to trade ryan ellis

The market is thin after those two, and they're at the top of everyone's list. We may not get one, and frankly, are they really that good? Their careers don't really suggest it. Odds are a third goalie gets some time, and we need add that guy too.

Assuming it's going to be significantly better is blind optimism. Right now, it's a major area of concern.

So then re-up Lehner, not that I want to see that song and dance again.

I doubt they go that route, but you can't completely rule it out either.

Based on the market this year, they may have to.

I'm thinking ristolainen , ROR for Weber(cap dump),3rd OV ,Alex g

ROR , Sam , 2nd round , Pu, Guhle for 2nd overall and noah hanifin
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Don’t think either of those teams would do that. I wouldn’t if I were them at least.

Lameass trades, yeah exactly what we need to do again, trade 5 guys for two, or whatever you tried to say before that...

You dont get better buy trading away all of your depth...

It's possible to be good without being elite
- jcragcrumple

Something Gerbe doesn’t get..... nor will ever get.

My father was a b-24 bomber pilot, based in Spain, got shot down twice, last time spent 8 months in Germany pow camp after 8 days trying to escape.
Not very talkative about it either...like the others posted.

Which I’m confident will be addressed

I'd take a flyer on Kristers Gudlevskis (Lightning youngster)

He never kneeled during the anthem it appears.

- gcomella34

Yeah, the controversy was that he was praying on the field. It's pretty (frank)ing simple, if you know showing players kneeling riles people up and you think it's driving people away, don't show them kneeling, better yet don't show the anthems. It's an anachronism.

He's a competitor, that's for sure, that game against Canada was, and I hate using war terms, heroic.

- Wetbandit1

Apparently he's with the Islanders this year...but w/e...he'll be a free agent.

But ya..his performance in the 2014 Olympics against Canada is something I will never forget. One of the best single-game displays of goaltending I've ever seen.

We should do nothing

The goal should be to get better not stay the same .

This is ovs time let's go bring it home
