Feel free to toss them now at this point seeing as we saw the team around them raise their level but not them; but I wouldn't of been willing to prior to the season. Lyubushkin isn't a prospect but is an average bottom pair dman with physicality. Additionally none of them required long term commitments. To a degree I think you are using information we know now and using it against things in the past. I'd love for them to get a better Dman to push down and out Bryson and Clague at this point but doing so requires 2 parties, and a logical and sane deal. You don't go trading Savoie or Kulich for Chychrun for the sake of a player who'd be our 4D. Goalies are a crapshoot and we targeted a well thought of back up with upside whom we could escape from if he fell flat on his face. I'm not interested in trading a 1st or multiple B+ level assets for a goalie when any goalie you acquire is likely to have warts not much better than a random goalie off the street in the offseason.

So effectively you are fine with just chucking young players out the door if they look mediocre at best after a year or two; patience is a virtue you certainly have little of. Bush is fine as a 6D and was used accordingly in Toronto. We intended him to be a 5/6D so I'm unmoved by that claim.

Goalies via trade are almost 100% overpriced in assets required and signings are a complete crapshoot. Look at Campbell’s struggles in Edmonton for instance. Defensively, KA expected Fitz, Pilut or Bryson to step up as the 6th D but none have. Bush has been injured half the year and has been better as of late but is far too easy to goad into stupidity. With how Bryson and Fitz looked last year, one could of believed they were on the verge of making the step and since neither were waivers exempt; it made more sense to let those two duke it out for 6D. Otherwise we more or less tossed an asset out the window out of the gate based on preseason appearances.

Bruins are after the guy from Columbus; just freeing up money

After tonight my plan doesn't change much Send Rosen, Bryson and 2 2nds to NSH for Ekholm and a 4th Then I'd acquire a cheapish vet forward and give Peterka, Rosen's spot in Rochester, I love the kid but he's snake bit and in crunch time we can't have that.

Issue with Comrie is his terrible glove high ability. UPL is inconsistent and wildly unpredictable game to game. Anderson is old and has general off nights but is solid when he’s on.

I’d love to understand why they are so sluggish to start; they have such trouble in either the 1st or 2nd at competing and beating other teams. Granato has issues with inter-period shifts but seems to have a knack for getting them to jump after a bad period. Not sure what to make of it.

Hate happy Leafs fans; I hope we poisoned their food with laxatives and every Leaf gets the flu

God I would of legitimately jumped ROR after that empty netter suspension be dammed

Love how Girgs gets tripped prior with no call but a Leaf flying is perfectly normal and not at all embellished

Hope the team watched that game because that's the sheer passion they'll need to grind themselves out a playoff berth

No idea what to do with this

What? have you gone senile?

Deposit 2 more points into the standings; next is Toronto

Watching the Stadium series game; they said Carolina needs a shooter for their PP. Would you trade them Olofsson if you could get their 1st? Now obviously I would only do it if we intended to flip the 1st elsewhere for a different kind of piece but its an interesting idea.

It’s fun to see them respond to some of the memes. Best is not even a meme though but when Tage sees his old YouTube account name.

Not really interested in Fabbro; he’s far too similar to our other puck moving Dmen

I'm kind of curious what the price on Ekholm would be from Nashville; would certainly fit the role of vet savvy dman. Rosen and 2 2nds?

Ok Miss Downer…. Is there a single positive bone in your body?

Oh, Arizona... How many teams can possibly give you only contracts of the ELC level?

Got hairy in the 2nd and a stint or two in the 3rd but dominated them otherwise

Tuch goal! Comrie…. Can you please get your glove on the puck one freaking time!

He’s got a glove hand of stone

They called it the “Black National Anthem” which creates an immediate division of the citizenry. That was my personal issue with it. Sinclair may have had political leanings far more to my liking but they were still a complete farce of a company. Hopefully their monetary blunders don’t hurt the cap too much.

Krebs!
