Weave

I’m not sure I am willing to say this anymore given the eye opening similarities in records between RK and DG.

This team does not get better by his merely being gone. Exposing him to the expansion draft is a stupid idea. It is stupid because 4 coaches now have seen that he is the best option to force feed minutes. With him gone and not replaced we will be force feeding minutes to the defenseman that was deemed the next best choice after Risto to force feed minutes. Bad plan is bad. Trade him to upgrade him, or better yet, upgrade the bottom pairing and slide his usage down a slot. Now, the UFA thing after next year, that's a thing. He's not likely to want to be back. trading him to avoid losing him for a rental price is a legit argument. Moving him because you don't like the way he plays even though the next guy in line will likely perform as bad in the same overused role is not a legit argument.

Is this addition by subtraction? If not, who is coming back?

I'd take one.

Maybe Tom Draper can come out of retirement?

Minimizes Matt Ellis’ contributions.

Ugh. We just can’t have nice things.

I know his name changes if he’s floating in a pool.

IMO we’ll need more roster changes than Jack coming back. I don’t see this team as a Jack away from running with Boston et al. There should be no standing pat with this forward group.

Not thousands of dollars art. I more or less agree with Curt regarding the silliness of spending huge money for art. And I like and buy art. then again, money is relative, right?

We liked that about GMTM too. Until we didn’t. I have no opinion on this guy. Don’t watch college ball outside of UB. And I generally like the swing for the fences approach.

Agree with this. First part of the season by my eye he was our most dynamic player.

Fantastic goalie. We were too hard on him.

I want them to win out and don’t give one ounce of care where they draft.

Lol GA is hurt because his thread is way down page.

Still wanna see a 2C from the outside brought in.

You could have just said “me” and saved all the typing. 😁

The difference it makes is they get to choose from a bigger list who they draft. Is that significant this time around? WTF knows.

I’m not convinced Sam is more valuable to us at center, especially when Jack returns (if?), but he absolutely can play center. I still think Pat Sharp is the right comparable, who also could play center when needed.

How many of you no wheels on the bag guys ride 18 holes?

Brian Holzinger might be the guy you are thinking of.

Bjork may very well have been the player coming back for the purpose of exposing him instead of someone else. Ahhh you already got me

He’s def a proven 80pt player. No argument there.

Thorny, and I am almost certain you know this, you can’t be a 90 pt player if you aren’t in enough games to score 90 pts in a season.

You. You’ve been added to the list.
