Because GMJR constructed a good roster that is missing major pieces, featuring new faces that is failing to currently work well together.

I really don’t think the roster is that terrible on its face if the best players are played.

Personally I would want JJ, Rikolla, and Cullen all replaced.

JJ and Cullen for me no doubt... Rikolla I like things I see and believe he can improve, maybe not production wise though that's possible too,
but all around game wise. I wouldn't lose sleep if he was shipped though.

Still though, should be a good constructed roster.

Oh yeah for sure. But in all, those guys shouldn’t be significant enough to prevent a team with Crosby Malkin kessel letang guentzel hornqvist etc from missing the playoffs. I liked the adds of Bjugstad and McCann. The talent and fit is largely there. I’m not denying the negative impact JJ has. It’s (frank)ing large. But the other guys being mentally fragile in large swaths and generally inconsistent combined with sully being obtuse as (frank) are obviously issues too.

Boughner was a great pen anyway.

Not that I want to bring up the Reaves thing again, but my point about wanting to keep him was less about his fighting prowess (although quite entertaining) but more that he replaces the MAF role keeping things light in the locker room which this team obviously needs!

I just don’t think the guys on general have fun much together...not nearly as much as they did with Flower and Reaves.

Looked like Cullen took that into traffic when he had a clear shot.

If you completely jumble the lines and get the same play then it's clearly not the roster.

1st period Hyde, 3rd period Jekyll.

Really like that they battled at least a point out of this.

That's probably about the only coach I would want that's available if Sully was fired. I forget who else is available though.
