Let's look at this from another angle: if Krueger somehow makes Sobotka useful does that make him a genius?

Flight out of Salt Lake got cancelled due to weather in Chicago I guess. Luckily they were able to get us on different flights so I'll still get home today. Which is fantastic despite all the time I'm going to spend in airports today.

I'm in Salt Lake right now, right? Ran into a Buffalo comedian, Matt Bergman, and a lady friend of his (from Lewiston) at Beerhive. Just spent the last few hours drinking beers and checking out Mormon ***** with them. Small. *****in. World.

Brutal

I gotta agree with this. I'd add to get Eberle but I don't want a first coming back.

It's like people wake up every year completely forgetting that sports doesn't care about their impatience.

Wow what if that's a part of it and all this pants-shitting is premature?

Like I said, let's talk about this again in a few years. I think it'll make more sense then.

Listen, I'm not going to litigate this whole thing right now. But we can do it in a few years and it'll all make sense.

Short term. There was no savings short term. I think Berglund was supposed to fill Johansson's role.

And the other will be off the roster soon as well. Y'all gotta think big picture sometimes.

I'm reserving rage for late October.

We traded O'Reilly for cap. I'm convinced of it now more than ever.

I don't think it matters. He'll be fine.

Mittelstadt isn't ruined. Stop it.

He's there to lose that spot.

Let me provide a post from two years in the future. Feel free to save it for posterity: "The O'Reilly trade on its own really sucked but the net result was positive."

It's okay to be wrong sometimes.

On the bubble: trading O'Reilly to plug guys like Johansson in behind Eichel on the depth chart. If this Johansson thing works the O'Reilly trade suddenly becomes a great move.

Yup to all of this.

If the center spine is going to be Eichel - Johansson - Mitts then yeah, no reason for him to be here. Next year though...

Back to Lethbridge per Twitter

I'm not sure my timeline for him is that long. I think he's fundamentally more sound. I'm also not worried about his hip surgeries. So many goalies get this work done now.

Interesting. Thanks guys!

It's the correct ordering given Ullmark's lack of development last year.
