I know it's only 2 games, but he's been worse than even VO and Mitts. Also think his waiver exemption is on their mind.

xGF%
Pilut 24.2%
VO 34.7%
Mitts 36.7%

Understood on all of that but it's going to take a little time to reacclimate here in NA. In any case, godspeed to Clague. We'll see how it goes

when you're playing terribly and you're about to lose your waiver exemption, I'd think it's a factor. could be wrong.

For the team it really shouldn't be IMO because they have 4 or 5 of the same player. Obviously it is to them, he should just play and see if he has it.

I'd keep playing him too. Rotations are killing the vibes quickly.

They might have to waive him when Joker is back. I'd risk it. Someone else might be hurt by then.

Pilut sits 2, then Fitz sits 2. Would be great for blogs and twitter.

Unless I really am missing something but neither one of these guys are gonna be in are hopeful top 6D. I really believe Johnson is going to sign, there is great opportunity in Buffalo and he got to see that this summer. You still need atleast 1 top flight RD that can come in and play right now. Especially if you are going to play Power 20m a night. Sorry Joker isn't it, maybe 3rd pair but Bryson Lyubushkin were a solid 3rd for right now. Atleast make a defensive move and then just worry about developing your forwards.

It's tough. I would have traded for Bear if they had no injuries on D.

Guess I'm prepared for Johnson to bolt. Would hurt.

They need to improve on Joker, taking them way too long to realize this. Tried of evaluations and rotations already.

it's great that you guys started out 4-1

I know we have a few long term injuries out there for RD and it looked not so good the last few weeks

you need help, so let's welcome Cale Clague



that sends great vibes to the team



5-1 hawks

kind of like 2 old men fighting over a hammer in their under wear

Obviously you didn't watch the game.

1st goal was bounced in off of owen power.
Asplund would not have made a bit of difference.

We outplayed montreal. Should have won the game.

If assplund was so important, why is he scratched again?

Now you're second guessing donnie, maybe you should second guess yourself.

Asplund is (to me) obviously not good or tough enough to play against.

You had an arguement, when you asked if I watched the games. How ironic that 1 day later assplund gets scratched.


Now he's sitting kiddo , again......
Time to look in the mirror
- Boss34

With that logic we shouldn’t have second guessed Ralph then either just because he was HC ?

Donnie will be watching games in the stands within a year or two if he keeps butchering his lineup decisions.

Sitting Asplund over Mitts, Olofsson, Okposo is hilarious.

That's the bad thing about Bear, maybe he does Maybe he doesn't help. Atleast you acknowledged and tried something. Would actually have gone a long way In my opinion

but that would be sending a message to the locker room that they believe in them and think they can play meaningful games in march

why would you want to send that message to a young team that does not know anything other than lottery picks?

Because it was methodically beat into my head this offseason that this was not happening.

Can improve the team in October for a 5th. Could show confidence in Pilut + Fitz. or just go with a rotation.

they will weaponize their cap space and give Brandon Davidson an NHL contract by mid week

serious question


if adams and granato's contracts expired after this season would they be standing pat?

Adams definitely has his plan and he is sticking to it lock stock an barrel. He's a young GM, he seems stuck in neutral.

trading for Bear might’ve made Johnson not want to sign...

I have no problem with the deliberate, methodical building approach. That approach also also allows for the occasional swing on a player.

I think it's a decree from the top to trim payroll that prevents those kind of moves.
