Blaming skinner is laughable how about the goaltending , coaches decision , The rest of the forwards on the team besides Jack , Sam

How about you blame Kyle for his 10 goals what about Conor Sheary where was he ? Or pominville ?

So what I reed in the above is we are rebuilding in perpetuity
- hehateme



yes, sort of.
this team requires immediate replacement of effective players at those positions, , do you not agree?

once they have a suitable contending roster...then they will need to re-stock with cheaper players on ELC's...that is the "Rebuilding in Perpetuity part

you left off the biggest problem

the d


night after night risto, scandella and mccabe easily the 3 worst d men
this leads to lack of break out passes, odd man rushes, point blank shots from the other team


fix the d, and scoring goes up

and our goalies become above average

I agree.... I just want them to be relevant again. They have all ready wasted 4 years of Eichel and as it stands right now, they are still years away from putting a playoff caliber team on the ice. They have a lot to fix.

They absolutely need to make it a priority to
Trade Risto for help in top 6
Move Scandella
AND
Find a pertner for Dahlin in FA...an aged vet who can stay back and actually defend our goal and turn Dahlin loose.

those 3 moves will absolutely improve this team dramatically

I've been repeatedly assured that it is not a problem that Girgensons, Wilson, Larsson, Sobotka and Thompson don't score, because they try

Sobotka goals this year
2 goals within 8 minutes of each other in the first period November 8th against Montreal
The other 2 goals have come in the last minute of games we were losing by 3

He hasn't scored at home

I know that was in jest (sort of).
But fixing the issues with the 4th line should be prioritized lower than fixing
the middle 6
the top pair

That said, I do NOT bring back Lockport Larry nor the Latvian Lion-eater.
Use Wilson, Sobotka & ERod there for this one season...then they can filter in some Rochester guys

The combined minus rating of Sobotka, Girgensons and Larsson (-32) is almost higher than their combined point total (35)
