Good post, I agree with you on just about everything but bad coaching, I think with all the young guys and the never having a full squad has hurt him but as an example these past 3 games we never gave in. I think the guys are slowly but surely figuring out his gameplan and they are playing hard for him. I didn't see any quit whatsoever this entire season. Do all the guys fit in his system is up for debate but I think they've bought in. I'm not fully in about us being a playoff team again next year because again we are going to be a young, inexperienced team with the possible additions of Bailey, Fasching and 1st rounder. It is all going to be on the additions made by GMTM in free agency and trades. I'm making a good guess we aren't going to use 25-33% of those draft choices. It won't be necessarily the big names we go after but the RFA's that other teams may not be able to afford with cap issues.

Don't get sucked in, he's a Bogosian troll....
-
Ummmm, you made the Ennis comparison, I just pointed out he's not Ennis.
-
It is not good to get on nfreeman's bad side..... LOL

6'0, over 210lbs, not Ennis, he has flaws but he's not Ennis small, we also have a major NEED for SPEED Hockey News scouting report Assets: Is one of the fastest players in the game, and he uses his wheels to create plenty of havoc when he's on the ice. Also displays sound two-way instincts. Can play either wing position effectively. Boasts sound offensive ability. Flaws: Could stand to shoot the puck more often, since he is not a consistent goal-scoring threat. Needs to continue proving he can handle the constant pounding and taxing schedule in the NHL. Career Speedy, quality two-way winger.

Boedeker is asking for 5.5M for 5, not sure why anyone is particularly down on him. Good 2 way player and he won't be the 1st forward to be hot and cold on scoring. He's also one of the fastest players in the NHL which is a need on this team plus he'd be one of the few capable of staying with Jack. Okposo's if he's an UFA is asking 7M per plus he's older and he's also an inconsistent scorer. Not belittling either just trying to figure out why someone would want one and not the other. Eriksson will be 31 next season, a bit of a grey beard for this team.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but most of the national guys who are actually accurate with trades, waivers, etc.... get their information from player agents and the like and not the local media. Not that it never happens but their #1 source is someone affiliated with or is actually a player agent.

Lets see, we played a team that is 15-2-1 in its last 18 games with 10 of the last 14 of those on the road, they have scored 60 goals in the last 13 games prior to playing us last night.............. We lose 1-0 on the road with 3 rookies in the forward ranks and 2 basically rookies in the back-line along with Colaiacovo BUT the reasons we lost were our players sucked, our coaching sucked and the refs sucked plus Eichel just wasn't giving any effort??? And I thought my ex-wife was hormonal.

Kudos to anyone staying up to watch all of this game. I hate West Coast games on work nights. First game without a trace of Mike Weber since the 06-07 season. Here's to him getting his name on that Cup this June
-
I would have thought so too but Ennis almost has as many hits this year as ROR and Reinhart have combined and he has almost as many as Eichel. Gorges believe it or not has the most for the Dmen. If not for Kane and Deslauriers we'd also be on the bottom of the league. So does he value a playing style of ROR or more of say Foligno and McGinn??? And I'm not talking ability as style. So does that style say who he values more and who he may or may not covet moving forward.

The key to me on who goes, who stays, who we try to pick up is what type of team/personality are we trying to become. A team such as LA Kings, NY Islanders, Flyers, Ottawa, Bruins, Ducks big and physical plenty of hits per game or are we going to emulate the Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, RedWings, TB Lightning, Montreal, San Jose Sharks type where speed and skill is more important and all are down on the hit parade. I thought the Penguins game was a great watch because we played against a good team in the bottom of the playoff standings to see how much we need to improve to get there and it showcased our weaknesses, things to improve on besides just the obvious player upgrades. Team speed, someone besides ROR to win faceoffs and an improvement on getting the puck quickly out of our zone. When we did this in the 1st period of forwards were able to play with speed and be physical but in especially the 2nd period we couldn't play it out of our zone which just bogged everything down. So the question becomes who does GMTM want us to become and from there we can speculate what type of player/s he brings in.

Hopefully he'll be able to do at least 1 pull-up

Love your passion but I disagree with your scouting report. He hasn't played as badly as you state, he's by far our best Dman in front of the net and the past 6-8 weeks he's played well. On top of that he's only 25 and he's got a bit of nasty to him. NBC had a spot where it showed we were the 3rd youngest team in the league at 26.5, you take off Legwand, Gionta, Moulson and Colaiacovo and McCormick and it drops down to 24.0. Trading him for picks or prospects sounds like you want the rebuild to continue forever. I'm with Taro..... big haul, go for it. Otherwise give it time. As for WildC, I'm with you, I'd love Fowler but I just don't know what it would realistically take to haul him in.
-
Yes that's the ticket, we have a 21 year old who has blown 3 games recently with mindless passing, 2 Dmen playing in their 1st year and the rest of the guys couldn't beat an opposing forward to a loose puck even if they were wearing snow shoes instead of skates...... and we want to rid ourselves of this guy :wallbash: As if anyone we could get of equal value in free agency wouldn't cost as much or more and we have no-one on the near horizon in the AHL ready to play up and we want to rid ourselves of Bogosian???
-
We lead 15-6 in shots and 11-5 in hits, I'd say except for the score that was a pretty dominating period of play
-
Double post
-
Don't look now but we've passed last years total and we're 9-6-3 in the 2nd half of this season
-
Lehner is star1 McGuinn 2 Eichel 3 With several honorable mentions
-
I tell you what, I would too, that GK has crazy eyes
-
Yes he is!!!
-
We're looking much better this period. Keeping puck in CBJ zone and handling their forechecking with ease
-
Can't be too bad, I think he had only 4 originals left anyway!!!! :w00t:
-
Another fine writeup, another reason to be motivated.... a win improves our point total above last years total.
-
For PC purposes, can we please call the aforementioned word.... The "T word". Your cooperation is appreciated when speaking of PA :w00t:
-
I don't think we get Cam Fowler for a healthy T.Ennis but that wouldn't keep me from trying. I'd also expect more for McCabe and Baptiste than a Foligno clone.
