Sorry I believe winning for 'now on" is much more important then trying to "win now"

"From now on" is now

You have to get to "now" before you get to "on"

We are the 5th best team in our own division. Which team is trading us two top 6 forwards in order for us to compete ?

This team is in a transition year and I hope they are competing for a playoff spot late in the season and if they make the playoffs ill be thrilled but the odds aren't great.

Better lottery odds ?

Tell Sheary, Sobotka, Bogo, Erod, Vesey, Girgensons, Scandella to take a hike.

Pilut and Cozens will be here full time next year.

Tage/Mitts should also be in the consideration.

Use our cap space to bring in quality instead of quantity.

Olofsson-Eichel-Cozens
Skinner-_____-Reinhart
Mojo-Asplund-______
_____-Larsson-Okposo

Dahlin-Montour/Risto
Pilut-Joker
McCabe-Miller


Pick who you like more between Montour/Risto and deal the other one for a 2C. Tage will be in consideration for 3RW or included in the trade package for the 2C.

tough call

your 3 points behind the leafs for second in the division with a game in hand


yet your playing 9 million dollar skinner on the second team pp with e rod and vesey and johansson gets the top unit duty

The thing about the “patience” argument, is it can be deployed every year, without endpoint, ad infinitum.

At the beginning of each year one could say, “were not winning the Cup this year, best to bottom out and get the highest draft pick possible.”

I’ve heard things like, “if you ain’t first, you’re last.”
And “better to finish out of the playoffs than lose in the finals.”
But that seems like a pretty drab fan existence, to only enjoy a season retroactively once it ends in a championship.

Bogo is playing an awful game so far. Might be shots fired at ralph for benching him

Here's the problem. "Winning from now on" becomes "win now".

Pommer’s shortie was even longer.
Hasek vs Bodeur 4OT longer than that.
May Day longer still...

I’d really love to see how Jack would do in the playoffs someday; hopefully in a Sabre sweater.

But their lack of fight only enhances their draft position, so there’s that.

Teammates are wondering why Miller is being scratched.
