People can want what they want. Doesn't mean management listens to them.

management bends the knee to the black widow and terry

Aren't Francis and Hextall both unemployed?
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

Francis refused a trade here back when they made the move for Gilmour.


Just an FYI.

3 in his last 21 or 8 in his last 25 depends where you set your goalposts. Also, when did Dahlin start getting the majority of ice time with Eichel? He's a -9 in the last 10 games with 58% Ozone starts. We don't have any forwards that know how to play defense. But, let's trade for a small center who is a career minus player and just hit 60 points for the first time in his 8 years in the NHL. So glad that no one here has any say on what the team does.

It comes down to this -

Ristolainen isn’t good, nor has ever been very good. He’s an average middle pairing D man who for 3 years we’ve been saying he’s going to “take the next step”

He is who he is. Defensively flawed to the extreme, and slightly above average offensively.

Acting like he’s this All-star D man is insane

No one is saying that

There’s a HUGE difference between,
“Don’t trade Risto for RNH”
and
“He’s an all-star”

You’re overreacting & putting words in ppl’s mouth... AGAIN

Not that +/- is a great stat. But when you are the worst In The NHL over the last 3 years by a wide margin. It should say something.

That u play a lot of minutes on a terrible team
And yes, that he’s not good defensively

But +/- is much more of a team stat
Look at ROR between last year & this year

Or look at Doughty
Is he horrible at defense now?
Or do the Kings just suck like us?

I could go on & on with examples
But i think the point is made

I like how you snitch to the mods when people challenge your nonsense or aren't concerned with your delicate sensibilities; and then have the gall to show up and start picking fights and instigating.

I have been calling Ristolainen "Phaneuf 2.0" for almost 2 years now. He is more useful to this team in a trade.
