Zak MacMillan: CBJ Mood Mondays - Utter Disaster

The Hawks are in a rebuild so Korchinsky will play in the league by default. As for NJ they are quickly discovering that maybe throwing 45 million up front on your offence and not shoring up the back end if Hamilton goes down probably wasn't a good idea, Nemec, is okay but I feel he's not at the same level as Hughes, also don't be fooled he had plenty of offensive zone starts.

Concerning Jiricek, he must be sent down ,because 1) Blankenburg is a tad better than him , and probably being showcased to get traded 2) the rest of that brigade will have to go through waiver. Someone needs to explain to him that the entire defense core is being showcased leading up to the eventual TD, he's simply failing to see the bigger picture.

Doesn't anyone want Gudbranson - even with retained salary ??? Please . . . ??

Everyone won't be moved at the TDL, a few will happen this summer, a few still here in October. I do think Provorov will go at the TDL - but Jarmo has to recoup some of what it cost to get him last summer !! Roslovic may also be gone at the TDL - but with Laine being down indefinitely it might change.

Alex -I disagree, Jiricek is better than Blankenburg, and will get better. Blankenburg is what we see now is what we get. He's a good 2nd or 3rd pairing.

The McConnell’s have to see :
JD has failed
Jarmo has definitely failed
Vincent is not the answer
To me it has been obvious for a couple years now that this ship is sinking. It is past due for a new vision. Maybe it’s Chris Clark or someone outside but something has to give.
