Eventually, probably very soon, Tuch, Thompson and Dahlin are going to want out. That's 3 first-round picks that would come back. If they could get that in the same season, they could then trade up to the #1 spot if they don't win the lottery. I hope none of this happens and they add to heart and toughness to this roster along with some defensive coaching. How is Marty Wilford still employed? Power is a huge problem as he hasn't an ounce of toughness/strength/anger/hate/meanness in his body at 6-5 and he's defensively unaware nearly 100 percent of the time. He is constantly pushed off the puck by smaller players. First overall? What a terrible pick he's turned out to be, and he's an 8 Million dollar boat anchor dragging this team down.

Is it legal to trade Owen Power for a broken 1982 Zamboni? He gets outworked and over powered constantly. He cost the game standing next to Hayes for the GWG. How many times must we watch his defensive ineptitude???

While I wish he provided more offense, Mal is a valuable member of the team. Penalty kill, eating up 4th line minutes, and SMASHING everything he sees wears out an opponent. His game is just fine with me.

Power is a giant cream puff. Has he ever actually hit anyone? I can't count how many times I've seen him not smoke someone when he had the chance. He will never get any room on the ice if he doesn't use his very large frame as it was intended. He's a big weakling who hits nobody and stands next to opponents when they score. Not a mean bone in his giant body. He consistently gets outworked in corners and has more giveaways that Publishers Clearing House. He's gotta go.

UBI - would heart be considered UBI? He's got none.

I've been harping on Marty Wilford for years. He's ruined our defense.

Did you watch him last night? He was atrocious from start to finish.

Why, with the poor defense we've had for the last several years, does Marty Wilford still have a job? Been saying this for over a year now.

Defensively inept. Marty Wilford.

While I'm sure we'll all miss his personality, we'll do well without the passes to nobody, the overextended shifts, and the awful d-zone play of Skinner. Lindy would have benched him in the first game. He drove me nuts.

Ain't gonna lie, I got a little choked up reading that. I've imagined it so many times, but never saw it so vividly written. Thank you.

Must be that Roddy told Kevin he's staying in Carolina, so Lindy was snapped up.

Nor can Skinner, but we're stuck with that contract.

Truth! I scream at him every game. No hockey sense at all.

He wouldn’t know how to do it anyway. Absolutely the worst hockey sense on this team. And that’s saying something!
