Larry Quinn says Hello

the way all parties make it sound, you'd have to guess it is 85% Housley's decision. Besides transactions, I'm sure they discuss player performance daily and maybe determine together, let's put this player here, see what happens.
- TheSabresTaco

Yup

Botterill has said that he isn't going to go to Phil and demand he play a player or who that player will play with

I don't see them firing him, not yet.

Another top 5 pick ..

The only way I see fans coming back if we Sign Matt Duchene

I believe this, because I don't think this is how a healthy organization functions. The structure is openly and clearly defined to the media all the time. I'm sure some will refuse to believe that, so whatever. It's not 100% Housley, but it's pretty close.

Nothing more classic then the Larry, Darcy and Lindy pressers at the end of the season, just classic.

Hopefully jack goes to ownership and gets rid of the clown

50% of the fan base would find different teams if jack was moved so Phil can stay

He should be more worried about surrounding him with talent so he doesn’t request a trade

*Signs Steve Montador* (RIP)

It’s how Cup contenders are built. I’m not ashamed at all. The same people complaining about “tanking” and missing the playoffs would be the same ones complaining about having a consistent playoff team that can’t get by
the 2nd round. Whether we miss the playoffs and pick top 5 or are this decades version of the St.Louis Blues the last time I checked we have the same amount of cups.

Pegula was a lifelong fan.

Everyone complained about not advancing past the first round . That was the complaint for years.

So he buys the team, pumps some money into Leno, regeir and errhoff. Bad moves, but he tried

So he tries the patient, rebuild/tank
The way championship teams recently have built their teams:

Chicago
Pittsburgh

Unfortunately tmgm picked
Sam instead of leon
Missed out on mcadvid
Picked nylander and his 3 nhl goals

Then :
Mitts
Dahlin
Both are very young.

Patience people

This is probably good advice. Just tired of waiting as I'm sure all are at this point.

Not too interested in putting an exact percentage on it, but I fully believe that putting VO on the top line and bumping Nylander down was an organizational decision.

how did the kings build a 2 cup team?


it's interesting because everyone uses the pens and hawks for comparison


kings built it with a really good top 4 d
a decent playoff goalie
kopitar
jeff carter

and warriors on the wings

why?

nylander was doing fine, outperforming skinner and reinhart before the demotion

Good point, but I really think tpegs is building or imaginary building our team like the pens.

His dog is named Sydney right?

Homie, you know this team is about to turn the corner next season. Its gonna happen
