I’m not convinced he would be an upgrade on anything on the roster except Lui. He would be the new Lui in short order. So hey, $6m x 6 years sounds about right.

Trade for or OS Cernak. Pass on Hoffman unless it's a short term team friendly deal.

They should be teaching their best players to play all situations instead of grabbing more chaff because they’re good in the room or on the PK.

Teaching players to be good in all situations and actually being good at it.

There is a reason why Selke voting seems to be the same players every season. It's just not something a lot of forwards are good at.

This is the year Petey has to start playing at the end of close games and on the PK if necessary. If he's going to be a 1C his ice time needs another small bump and he needs to take on more responsibility. That to me is the solution rather than trying to find other players to fill a defensive role.

I am told you can teach defense, but offense is different.

Right

I feel like when they say they can teach defence and not offence, I think that they mean they can teach "structure" not actual defence. If they could teach defence than I think a lot more players wouldn't suck so much at playing defence.

What I’m saying is, isn’t this the guy who bullied a teammate about losing a child to still birth? Also, what is it about Jim’s tenure as a GM that suggests he is about winning?

Retooling on the fly while staying competitive.

You'd have to move out 2 contracts to sign him, or Ferland LTIR and 1.

Jim's clearing $9.5 million in November.

Thank god we've stayed competitive the last few years. This fanbase couldn't take a rebuild.

They were told. An intelligent fan base but an extremely whiny one as Burke said.

Lukas Jasek got an assist on Trinec's 5th goal. I thought I was going to have to write him off as a NHL calibre player. Two games without scoring

Hoffman may have been on JB's radar for awhile he's a better option than Toffoli IMO if he can make it work somehow.

He's on about the same level as Pronman. Takes 50 shots and hits on 2 or 3 of them.
