Okposo plans on playing next year.

Ugh.

The gift that keeps on giving.

Just playing devil’s advocate here, but is it possible that the biggest thing Granato did to improve all of their development outlooks was simply just to let them play?
- Ratsreign

It certainly helped, but their points per game exploded as well.

Casey Mittelstadt under Krueger – 13 GP, 1-4-5, minus-11, 13:20.

Mittelstadt under Granato – 28 GP, 9-8-17, minus-3, 17:04.

Tage Thompson under Krueger – 13 GP, 1-1-2, minus-4, 12:56.

Thompson under Granato – 25 GP, 7-5-12, minus-2, 14:22.

Rasmus Asplund under Krueger – 5 GP, 1-0-1, plus-1, 11:40.

Asplund under Granato – 23 GP, 6-4-10, even, 13:07.

He also friggin finally played Reinhart at center.

you mean remove those that show up 10 minutes late every day
is on their cell phones checking messages during business calls and meetings
extended lunches and breaks
etc
- homiedclown

Sure. I call them my family

He does. It also should be noted that ralph was historically bad at coaching the hockey so the bar was set very very low

One last thing from me on the Torts idea -

If they're keeping Eichel and Reinhart then I get the Torts idea more. If they're not, just keep Granato

Your infatuation with me is very weird.

Another cry for help? I'm here for you thatguy
I'm not a doctor (yet) but,

Make 2 bad trade proposals and call me in the morning. 😀

its either that or he just will let his agent handle it

if he really had no idea what was going on with the expansion draft i wouldnt blame him at all

Nothing beats expecting a call from a local area business, having the phone ring with a 716 area code, and falling for it. Another extended warranty call. Shame on me.
- buffalofan19

I can't recall the last time I actually answered a call where I didn't recognize the number. It's been years. Same when someone rings the doorbell or knocks on the door. Haven't answered that in years either. Don't care who it is.

That's usually the case with me. Problem is, I am expecting this call.

Can we get a new locker clean out blog? Do you have to have Ek's go ahead to post a new blog?

Yeah, I don't have posting permission. I'm hopeful that's coming

Eichel at 11:10 for those wondering

And Sam after Risto, 10:30.

Risto is indifferent. Not up for a rebuild. If they make a push for playoffs great. If Adams trades him, he’s fine too...

I think that's really code for "I'd really like to leave", and I don't blame him. Both sides need a divorce.

Yikes.

Me Thinks Reinhart is a goner.

Wouldn't answer if he wants to be here.
"Has to think about it"

He definitely has a "dead inside" vibe

Risto pretty clear he is not down for a rebuild.

From what I can tell
Risto
Skinner
Rinhart

All don't want to be here.

I assume the Eichel PC will be more of the same.

Might as well just blow it up at this point.

So what's the return for Sam, Risto, and Jack?

Might want to leave, or it's a negotiating tactic.

I think the reporters are really trying to get Sam to grief all over everybody

I think Reinhart is going home to Vancouver

Thats a tough sell.

They are not goog trade partenrs, IMO.

Boesser and Horvat i assume are untouchable.

So what Virtanen and picks/prospects?
