Dahlin needs to keep working on his one timer...that should have been a goal

But the second unit can't pass at all

This whole "reward the veteran" thing is out of control. Enough with beaulieu, scandella, okposo, and even pominville. My patience is wearing thin.

This is all pommers fault.

+1 in 1:40
2 game point streak heading into tonight

Tied for 3rd on the team in goal scoring

I know he's been through a lot and part of me does feel awful saying this but Okposo is totally shot.

It's one thing to just be bad. The truly awful instances are the ones where the player is half of what he used to be, and everyone knows it except him.

He's trying to do the poop he used to 3 years ago. He doesn't have it anymore. The best he can do now is simplify his game, but hes still trying passes he can't make, shots that have no shot and holds on to the puck way too long.

Absolutely right. He only plays around 11-12 mins a game and creates a decent amount of opportunities

As I’m reading this he gets poke checked at the blue line.

It’s buy out time

They can't put the puck in anyone's wheel house, Thompson was ready to let one rip but it was in his skates

There’s absolutely 0 reason CJ Smith shouldn’t be here.

It’s inexcusable at this point

Dahlin had Girgensons back door there but can't really fault a man for putting the puck on net.

Yeah bro, probably had nothing to do with his injury.

Read the above post. That should help you understand better.

I think we'd be more upset if he passed it off to girgs

If he's gonna hang around, I'd like to see him try to drop 15 pounds and totally reinvent his game. I'm not saying it would work. But the alternative, yada yada

I honestly think it’s worth it to get a hopefully above replacement level player in his spot

Suggested that the other day. Okposo buy out.

Lots of suggestions around here, no one agreed

no way they buy him out this year and I highly doubt they'll do it next year either...too much money and term
