I think that makes sense. I'm just not sure how much anyone will pay for it.

Huh?

Agreed.

I'm not convinced Kane is plug n play production. He certainly hasn't been for this team.

I really don't think we're getting a first for Kane. His value is lower than we think it is because I think he's a higher risk acquisition than most.

So Bogo hurt himself making a hit in practice? That's so Bogo.

I think this team gets better by unloading Reinhart because he's a two-fer, sitting firmly in both middle categories. If you can get Okposo off the roster you improve team speed. We can't move O'Reilly because he's a position of need so we have to live with his slowness. Pominville needs to probably go as well. I like him but he's not contributing. Girgensons too, since it's become obvious he does not have an NHL shot nor is he dominant enough physically to overcome that.

I wouldn't expect an improvement just by swapping goalies. It's going to be up to forwards who actually want to play hockey. Right now we've got a bad mix of Jack, talent that doesn't care, talent that cares but is too slow, and your typical filler players. Those middle two classes are the big problem.

Reinhart doesn't get a pass because his sucking is a direct contributor to the team's overall sucking. He's a major part of the problem, not a victim. Free passes are for plugs.

For some reason it didn't occur to me that the All Star game was even happening.

I would assume they don't want to completely nuke the trade value of the players they want to get rid of by publicly trashing them. Reinhart specifically comes to mind. That dude is a problem going back to last year but we don't want to completely confirm that.

This is the first time since the first day of my first smart phone that I've turned score alerts off. I'm tired.

Ooookay

Aaaaand I'm out.

Lehner is done. Remember when I was talking about Lehner and his game being predicated on focus and confidence? Welcome back to normal, unfocused Lehner.

I can't believe how many months are still left in this season.

Well, there's no room for him anyway unless someone gets traded.

I'm looking forward to some of these guys never being relevant to my interests again.

That was brutal.

That was a nice job by Girgensons

I'm not giving Guhle the go ahead yet.

Yup.

Sure looks like it.

Nylander is in trouble

Why did they call Ullmark up if he isn't going to play?
