Hope not.... the chemistry on this team is good don’t mess with that by adding by subtracting...no need for that. Depth players I get, but we actually have that down on the farm.

Agreed. Adding someone like Stone only helps if you send a Neal + pick the other way. I'd rather find a good backup.

Yeah I’m not ready to call it quits on Neil. I’m hoping his value is in the playoffs.... with his experience he has had in the say last five years and how he has proformed in the playoffs is going to be extremely valuable!!

could probably get Coyle for cheaper then Stone. Even if it was Frolik for Coyle

Not sure that makes the team better. At this point, why mess with the top 9? The chemistry is the best I have seen in 15...and 30...yrs. hmm

Didn't bring there A or even B game tonight...take the two points though

Avs are weird...they get lots of chances but give up a ton. Don't let the shots fool you the Flames were flubbing point blank opportunities and over skating odd man rushes all night. If the Flames were sharp they could have blown it wide open

but come play off time a bit more weight on the RW that could keep up would be nice.

I agree...if it ain't broke. But with a lot of weight on the west teams in the playoffs Coyle I think would help Tchachuk focus on scoring and help Bennett out.

Plus its likely Frolik is gone next year, so trading for a younger player is a win there.

That was the sloppiest I’ve seen them in a while.

If anything, Bennett is the asset you use for trade. I must do 't want to. Frolik is great in this offense and a playoff asset...if Peters allows it.

Not sure how cheabCoyle would be. Like the player and the grit. Would be nice to have more size come playoffs.

Cannot trade Bennett.

Nice to play a sloppy game and still come out with the W.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I will take the 2 points, but they got caved in for most of that game and can't let that slip into their game too often.

The fact that Colorado was trying to get MacKinnon matched up against our top line says something - as dynamic as they've been, they are going to need to show the ability to button down defensively as well.
