I can understand frustration, what I can't understand is strong arming a team to be the franchise player a year before the frustration leads to a trade demand. We were awful when he asked for the 8 year extension...

If Vegas starts to falter, more will come out, but I'll just say the cocaine and partying issues haven't lessened. The piper will get paid in the end.

Not trying to call him a saint, just think the frustration we feel as fans has some similarity to what players must feel.

Why should these guys be top 6 wingers in their first or second seasons?

given their draft positions, and esp with what savoie did this year, it's not much to ask

if your gm has a clue when he drafted those guys

Lomberg. 29. 4th season in nhl. 5'9 plays like 6'4. 0G 0A 0P 7min Toi/G. Solid 4th liner.

Rempe. 21. Rookie. 6'7 and plays like it. 1g 0a 1p. 6min/G. Terrible 4th liner. Only playing cause injury i guess.

Lundell picked 12th. 3rd season. Not playing top 6 on a Stanley cup final team.

Lafreniere. 1st overall. Took till 4th season to be a top 6 player.

please don't compare our roster to a cup contender


Lundell is playing 17 minutes a night vs Bennett playing 15 in the playoffs, not that it matters

What are you talking about lomberg is a career 10 minute player

Rempe got 5.38 in the regular season and apparently 6 in the postseason, I'll take your word for it. Literally in the lineup because of injury

Then sure, throw Savoie to the wolves

Posting Playoff stats. Who tf gives a sheit about the reg season right now

Lomberg is playing 7:40 or something in the playoffs. As a 29 year old in his 4th season.

Rempe 6:21 I Believe. As a rookie.

So we're not trying to be cup contenders?


- DirtyDan

nope

getting the 8th slot is all that matters

pay attention

better trade your boy Benson if he is not good enough for a top 6 slot

No, I get it my friend, no one was going to be happy about the situation. I just can't give much leeway to a guy who signed up to be in a frustrating situation only to do a 180 within a calendar year.

stenlund is better than both

And he was taken out for chytil once already this postseason?

Wheeler healthy would not be sitting over 5 min rempe. Its not even a debate

It's been a while, but didn't he play 3 years on his big deal in Buffalo and sign it a full year earlier?

Time flies, he's 2 seasons from UFA now. Meanwhile, 2 more new coaches in Buffalo and still no playoffs.

Peterka and Quinn didn’t crack the NHL lineup until their D+3 year.

Kulich, Ostlund, Savoie are entering their D+3 seasons this coming October.

The only prospect behind schedule really is Rosen, and quite frankly he very well could have played more games this past season but the consensus was to do the ELC slide.

Logan Stankoven is in his D+3 season, played half of the year in the AHL, and is now skating next to Johnston and Benn on a team with cup aspirations.

This isn’t the NFL gents, it’s extremely normal for prospects to take 2-3 years to make the show

so 14 months from now

what will the contracts look like for
6k
levi
quinn
peterka
