jordan greenway is an effective, complimentary piece to this team that few people could still argue.

He was had for a late 2nd and a lottery ticket.

Complimentary players can be had without using the likes of Tuch or Mittelstadt.

They won't trade Tuch. No sooner than any other team desiring to trade one of their more important players.

Mittelstadt, if you do trade him, you're aiming to change (further?) the dynamic of the roster. I think you're aiming at a more offensively potent Jordan Greenway.

Would Tampa consider swapping Mittelstadt and Cirelli? Could be an interesting idea.

I think the quickest path to consistent winning is to get those other 2 d men for the top 4

we were able to score last year and still fell shy


the goal needs to be how to become a top 4 team in the east quickly and IMO a d man to play with dahlin and a d man to play with power gets us there quicker

- homiedclown


I'm not sure I can disagree with that assessment, but I do think we need to get heavier up front as well. Butchy isn't a fighter, but does play a big man's game.

The cost of top4 RHD makes me think that's a pipe dream to some extent as well. I can see them getting Andersson, as an example, I can't see them trading for him, then going after another quality top4 in the same offseason. Adams would be in a corner sucking his thumb, crying.

Soooooo....it's been awhile.... how's it going?

Is Erik Johnson worth kicking tires on a trade?

- Aaron_85

I will drop him Off, where we going and "Future Considerations" are thought of highly by this Organization .

New, for @TheAthletic: Amid a strong season on the ice, #NHLJets ownership is working feverishly off it to return season-ticket numbers to a level that can keep the organization healthy and competitive over the long term.

Winnipeg 34-15-5

Buffalo 25-27-4

what do you want out of him? 8 minutes of EV and 4 minutes of PK per night? Have at it.

so by not trading an objectively strong player, we're "pissing away Dahlin and Power" and extending joker and erik johnson?

what is this mess of a sentence

- TheSabresTaco

this franchise is a mess


a tinker here or there will not fix it

He's a RD. All I can tell. Is he useless?

What about Connor Clifton?

Yea he’s been the best defender we’ve had all season. Never makes mistakes. Constant pro. Has elevated play all around him. No need to scout or look at anything. Trust me bro.

A coach that gets his team to back check would be start.

Getting players will do nothing unless the coach gets harder on his team.

- DirtyDan

the core liked ralph

he was easy on the team

the core at the time, hated disco dan

he was not easy on the team


if you get an effective coach, be prepared to ship out a few sally's

Eric Johnson is completely useless at this point


There was a good reason Colorado didn’t resign him this offseason

He is no longer an effective nhl defender

Would you rehire Lindy ruff as head coach this offseason

He has a professional relationship with Adams , as Adams was Lindy’s assistant coach at one point

A mile? I would strongly disagree.

They're pretty equal players IMO. And Cozens is younger so there I would give my edge to.

Last 2 years Mitts has 1 more pt in 4 or 5 more games I believe.

I think that ship has sailed

the time to get him back was when the stars parted ways with him

time to look ahead instead of the rear view mirror despite wronging Lindy in the past
