I really like Quinn Hughes, and think he is a fantastic player, but I wouldn't even take 5 seconds to decide to trade him straight up for Dahlin.

Positivity is in the eye of the beholder...I still maintain this club is not as bad as their record suggests. I had them at 16-19 that is where I expect with this roster. If they finish bottom 10 it's on the players not Green or Benning overall.

I still think if they get their sh1t together that they are still a top team. They need to change the coaching and finish off their games.

Oh ya. They are playing very bad right now and a lot needs to be fixed but closing out games is the big thing. Some players are still learning...I get it. But there are enough Vets here to close out games regardless of the whining about contracts lol

So it's on everyone but the guy that acquires the players and the guy that coaches them? That seems contradictory to me. Either the players drafted (traded for, signed) are good enough or they aren't. Maybe they aren't being coached well enough, but to absolve the selection staff and the coaching staff for the players not being good enough 8 years in seems absurd. Especially when you consider their lack of success.

I think they were just trying to kill 2 min and not get scored on.

While I would agree Green might need to go in the off season this club has enough raw talent to win games and close them out IMO. Next step? We'll see but this club has improved 3-4 spots in the standings under Benning in 5 successive years. I guess we measure success a bit different. My expectations are systematic. It requires patience. Boeser - Petey - Hughes - Demko - Hogs and others are players you build championships around not talk about trades right now. Sooner or later the bad contracts will fade and all will be well. As the great band Rush said...Little Victories man...Little Victories...

It’s time to Guy Boucher this thing. No forecheck, five guys in the neutral zone.

*also, that was a burger reference*
