Weave

You’re asking GA to change his spots. He’s consistent with this.

That is sad. Covid scared the hell out of us when my wife got it last month. Flu my ass.

If he’s a bad guy (and I have no idea if he is or not) I don’t want him around our team for 20 minutes of hockey, let alone 20 games. KA is going to need some intel on this. Lindy does not have a history of throwing away good players without reason.

For a few games, fine. For the balance of the season? ***** no. They don’t need a pressure cooker and bad room. If we’re moving a bunch of UFAs we’ll need players for the balance of the season and I don’t want our kids thrown into that role.

I don’t want this either. We’ve been throwing players to the wolves for almost 10 years now. We need NHL bodies.

We will need bodies if we are moving a bunch of UFA's. I just question this particular body given how his time in NJD has gone south.

He’s making a case for a head coaching job elsewhere, if nothing else. He should get interviews.

I don't know. There were some posts in another thread (maybe today?), the Amerks gameday thread maybe, indicating he's struggling.

Aaaaaand....... It it appears he hasn't looked all that good so far this season. Howinthehell do you project him on the big squad next year when he hasn't really shown anything indicating that he even belongs in the AHL this year? Madness, GA. Weird, recklessly confident madness.

Yup. For all his faults, Lindy always appeared to me to be a good judge of players to trust on his team. This guy may be the right talent, but if he's the wrong person I don't want him near Tank gen2 kids.

Saw Ruff’s response to the waiver. Seems to me there are red flags waving in the wind re: Gusev. I don’t know what the deal is, but Lindy sure doesn’t seem to care if he isn’t around. That’s enough for me to lose interest.

Shades of Buffalo defencemen against the Canes. At least it’s not the playoffs this time. Maybe now the team will over correct and get some frickin centers.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Pretty much the same reaction from me until I opened the thread. No excitement. No anger. No angst. Nothing.

Good thing we have center depth.

I am honestly surprised it took this long.

Yeah, but. With a name like Thatcher Demko there is no risk.

No worries. They won’t have a lead this time.

Too long, didn’t read

It’s a trap!

We threw away 2 seasons to get them and you wonder why fans would have an irrational expectation? Seems self evident to me.

Eric Lindros. Thats an interesting definition of the modern era.

Any coach that wins is a players coach. See: Bill Parcells.

More or less, agreed. Im fairly bullish on Cozens. Gimme a blockbuster and Im moving any or all of Jack, Sam, and Rasmus the Younger. A middle of the road veteran 1C with playoff chops, a teams #1 prospect (preferably also a C), a #2 RW with playoff chops, and the rest are minor details in a Jack trade I’m not turning down without serious thought. ETA - you aren’t winning a trade where you are trading Jack. But the goal isn’t to win the trade, it is to bring in the kind of competitive support that we should have brought in 6 years ago. The kind of players that will ensure our kids don’t play until they are ready, yet still win an acceptable number of games and compete for a playoff spot.
