I dont know about this ron francis guy. Columbus just signed back their guy lost in the exp draft. Yet another wasted pick. Just awful

They seem kind of directionless.

For what Wenny got from Seattle im glad we didnt pursue him too hard. Still wish we had of focused more on the defense

Totally dropped the ball on not upgrading the defense in my opinion.

We’ve all seen them but let’s look again at some of these defenseman since 2015 and you tell me what a poor job we have done on the back end.
Kampfer
Mathewson
Brown
Gudbranson
Petrovic
Psysk
Dimmers
Stillman
Wideman
Keeper
Stralman
Nutivaara
Gudos

Could still be looking to add to the D by making a trade including Vatrano.

Just getting Yandle out of here upgraded the defense, and they have more than enough to make up for whatever offense Yandle brought.

Only the last two on the list were brought in by Zito. So, all this really doesn’t matter anymore.

So what Nutivaara is now going to eat up Yandle’s minutes? Help me out here bro.

It’s a pattern

Nutti would be better than Yandle on D.
That’s why I think Frankie might be traded, to fill in on D. Ekblad, Weegar, Forsling, Montour, Gudas are first five, and then Nutti, Kiersted, Connauton, and the rest for 6 and 7 D. I think Zito is going to try to add someone.

New GM and assistants, scouting department is not the same. It was a pattern, can’t say it is any longer.

Zach who?
- harveykline

Zach AHL.

Havent heard anything on reinhart. He must be being a pain??? Anyone heard anything? Youd think that if zito wants him and reinhart is happy to be here it should be a no brainer...

I would like to see them sign Chara to a one yr deal.
Not what he used to be , but still a good d man. He would be like a coach on the ice.

Like a coach...trailing behind the play yelling out instructions and/or encouragement?
Jk, There would be some benefits to having Chara with this group.
