I love hearing we do not need this guy or this guy

we lost our best 2nd line winger for a good chunk of the season

no real first liner to step in if tuch or skinner goes down for a while


and when was our last playoff game?

That Quinn news should have made it a requirement to get two forwards and one at least being too 6 quality. Yet here we are

But hey we got jost

Perfect year to do it to, there was some decent talent available that could have helped. Well unfortunately as soon as Girgensons was brought back you knew that they were basically done up front.

If that happens, which I believe it will with the roster as it stands and the major improvements East teams have made, Adams and Donny get fired. Then it’s another 5 year rebuild

Don's extension kicks in a year from now. As much as I think there should be some pressure on him, there isn't. They aren't firing him before the extension even starts.

Just seems like they aren't willing to pay the price and settle for bottom of the roster guys and hope they play better than expected.

Next year, things have to start to change. Missed opportunities this year and last.

I can't see that happening, for as much as we female dog they have turned things around in some aspects.

If we miss the playoffs this year, they’d better be gone. What GM/coach combo get 4 years of leash and keep their job after not even making the playoffs in any one of those years. We are well beyond absurd now. This fan base is showing signs of domestic abuse survival. It’s embarrassing af.

Same place we have been for 12yrs, On The Outside Looking In. Well Adams is gonna have to move a couple bodies, hopefully he has more than he's shown this year.

Adams might be more equipped to be President. If he goes 4 years without a playoff appearance he sure as hell isn’t an NHL GM.

I’m fine with Erik Johnson on the third pair. It’s an upgrade. Signing Okposo, Girgensons and Yost is egregiously bad GM’ing given our current overall situation. Even 2/3 of those signed is questionable in my opinion. If the plan is to be good the year after next then prospects should be occupying those roster spots. Just baffling asset management. I don’t understand wtf he’s doing, barring some trades that really blow our doors off. I hope Gerbs is right.
