First one, yes.

Second one, uh, Jim Treliving has an estimated net worth of about $700 Million. Tom Dundon is supposedly worth about twice that, so...

Do we think simmer will have a better second half, that maybe his recovery from injury affected the first half ??

He is not this bad

I was one who gave G that pass when he was recovering
- wcorvette

Yes, but with another team

You lost me when you have TK and Patrick as not tradeable but Giroux is.
If you are going to go full tank like that then Coots should be in the would move list also.
- opeth_pa

Sounds good.

Spin some magic Fletcher.

Every one is watching you.

Like the OPEN EYE OF ZINJ!

All I really want to see from now to the end of the season is:

Provorov playing the way we know he can play

Ghost getting his mojo back and playing the way he did last season

Simmonds traded to whomever offers the best return

Hart back down with the Phantoms, leading them on a deep playoff run

Patrick back healthy and generating offense

Lindblom back in the top 9 and putting up some points

Sanheim continuing to play well for the rest of the season

I know.

Don Waddell is the GM. HAH. Got you, fu...

Oh poop. Don Waddell is the GM.

I feel Provy is almost there. He's been better recently.

Ghost just needs to hit the net and his swagger will return as they go in and they will if he hits the net more.

The rest are what this team needs to bounce back.

has anyone asked Dundon if he would've drafted Svech over Dahlin if the Canes had 1st overall?

What would your thoughts be about running Patrick for a bit on G's LW? Maybe playing with G from the wing he'll get a better idea of what it takes to make it as a top line center? Also may help his confidence with getting more points on the regular.

Just a spitball idea.

Love it. I would like to add Morin back healthy and getting some minutes.

This is pre-emptive. Before anyone reads Eks blog and suggests Gostisbehere for Nylander. Absolutely not.

I would like to see Lindblom get moved up from the 4th line. Raffl works hard on the ice and usually puts some effort into playing defense, but he shouldn't be on the 1st or 2nd lines. He has his stop and go/stutter step move, but after that he doesn't have much left. He has only scored more than 10 goals in one season 3 times. I don't understand how they expect him to start putting up offense now? I understand the G line needs somebody to fight along the boards for the puck, but I just think Raffl would be a great 4th liner or on a 3rd/shutdown line, not a 1st liner.

Not a Raffl hater, just think he's being used wrong.......

Agreed.

Counterpoint: I don't give a (frank) about the Phantoms' playoff position.

You know what? You’re right. There is no reason for these kids to build a winning Pedegree. Call them up so they can learn from our current leadership core. I can’t wait to hear whatever advice the vets have to give.

Looking for balance in the lineup.

Nylander just got off the schneid...1st of season

There is a lot of positives to Michael Raffl’s game but every year they use him more than he should be used. This year he’s in the top six on a line with Couturier and Voracek one game, the next game on a line with Giroux and Konecny. Last year Raffl replaced Konecny with Couturier and Giroux. It is a set up for failure by the player and the team.

I’m not a Raffl hater either but he can go out with the rest of the trash in the offseason. Everyone knows my stance on Simmonds but at this point I can’t argue trading Simmonds or anyone else. We need a fresh look.

It’s absolutely criminal that Lindblom has spent the amount of time he has on the fourth line.

Stop

Flyers should trade for Klim Kostin ASAP.

Agreed.
- Nucker101

Further agreed. This team can not afford to lose Ghost. Now something involving Simmonds, Gudas, Nuevy +

I’d happily talk about.

Why would the Blues trade him? They need to stockpile prospects/picks right now. They’re a mess.

Patrick has played center and been a number 1 center pretty much his entire life, he knows what to do. He just needs to keep at it, he’ll be fine.
