Think he's turned into a very good player, him and Miller played well together.Wish Dahlin was fearless

I take it a step further. I think Adams is effectively their Pres now.

Agreed. Next step is really important. That's when Pegs got impatient last time and they made series of deals that all blew up in their face.

I just hope Ventura is effectively the GM.

I'm hoping the owners think enough of Adams (and by all accounts, they do) to actually trust him and allow him to finish the job.

I sure hope Adams has an answer for the goaltending next year.

it's a tank year

still can't understand how people don't get it


anderson overachieved during his brief stint here

- homiedclown


And conversely I can't understand why people accept another tank when when we have the best prospect since Dennis Potvin on our roster.

Try to win as many games as you can. If youre not good i can accept that. When you artificially end my season in November because youre afraid of icing the best roster i cant accept that.

hopefully this year.

Before anyone says anything, no i dont care about the tank.

Draft wherever you end up and make it work.

Every other effing team seems to be able to figure it out.

We have yet to see Mitts. Not sure why he is the consensus 1C.

This is exactly how I feel. Throw us a bone for God's sake. I can deal with a lower draft pick if it means winning more games this year and instilling some of that hopeful culture in young players like Cozens and especially Dahlin who has seen a lot of losing, not to mention us fans. Not looking for the playoffs, just something better than Aaron Dell and a 40-year-old in net.

Don't go by lines 1 - 4. Those days are gone. You agree with this lineup?

I guess.

Much rather see Cozens with Skillful wingers but he might be the least skillful center of the group.

I just listed out for perspective. This is our 2022 top 12 forward team. Lets hope we hit here. D needs work and Goaltending as we all know.

Looks/sounds like Laaksonen might be ready for next year. Put him with Samuelsson.


Dahlin- ???
Power?-Joker
Samuelson-Laak


Have to find Dahlin's partner this summer.

That's fair. But I don't know how you fix it this year. Dallas has an abundance of goalies but is that the direction. Lousy goaltending will suck the life out of any team. Maybe Anderson will be back soon. I can't watch Dell.

I wouldn't mind a vet goalie next year for a few years and have 6K learn from him. None of these ECHL goalies at 750K.

Are you still in the trade Olofsson while his value is high camp, or has his play so far this season begun to make you reconsider?
- kingcong39


Too few games to sway me yet. Fortunately, they have a few more months.

Everyone on this team is playing too high in the lineup. It messes up valuations.

First and foremost, they need to make a real decision. 3+ year extension or move him. Can't hand out another 1 year deal that defined KA's first year.

It's gotten pretty bad. Every time I tune in it reminds me of Jeb! and his "Please clap" moment, but instead of please clap, it's please come to our games. Duff seems very uncomfortable with the whole thing
