Yeah. Not exactly the model franchise we should aspire to.

I like their young core a lot….but for what ever reason they can’t seem to put together a season….like Ottawa…like Detroit….

Speed of NHL down low may take him some time to adjust.

I almost want to see Torts just roll his normal lines out for the pp. what could it hurt?

3 checking line centers playing this weekend- going to be tough. Not sure how Briere gets more talent at center, but it is a priority.

I can’t figure it out. Solid on paper. Eventually I think at least Ottawa and Detroit will get there. Buffalo seems to have found a good goalie though.

Might have to be a trade. If we can accumulate some prospect capital, then at the right time you might be able to flip them for a guy that a team might want to move on from. the heavy lifting is yet to come for DB

Has to be as nothing in the system at all that projects to be a top 6 center.

Edit: free agent is possible.

Just keep the puck in the d zone when Johnson and Staal are out there, Torts, nice.

Neither of them were at fault on the goal. Frost took himself out of the play in the neutral zone. There was no forward backside pressure.

Might have to be a trade.

I do expect a trade this summer. I think it will be for a young, unproven center that can grow- similiar to Tippett in FLA.

They're 7-2-1 in their last 10

Yeah. Maybe fa ar the right time. I like the idea of a package of maybe one of our wingers and some picks. The type of big trade that happens at the draft. That’s when the true team building happens nowadays.

Did captain Coots have a press conference today?

Should have specified. Wasn't talking about record I was referring to how they play. They will win but barely

Must be a crazy adjustment from the khl boom right into the nhl. I like aggressive play from a tender but he’s so big he can afford to play back in his net and not get beat. He should have been a little deeper there.

I have an idea and i didnt need to go to Wharton to manifest it

Darn Ovie doubled down

Man. Lycksell couldn’t score on $10 hooker.

Because hookers are notoriously bad at goaltending?

Unfortunately, it may not matter if they can’t beat teams like Chicago, Montreal, Islanders, and Buffalo.

Yes. They tend to have issues with 5 hole shots haha.

Should have 3 by now

Carolina out shooting them 20 -6 and down 2-0. Look familiar?

They’re playing a decent game but the tender is playing very well.

Edit. Great shift guys. Wow.
