Well, I'm also in favor of signing Rhino long term unless he just wants out. I'm also in favor of keeping Jack to see how his injury situation plays out and also you have a season to evaluate his situation.
So far? Sticking with Granato. All these others don't see them as better unless maybe BB just because of more NHL experience. Still Granato has experience and I liked the response the team had to his coaching.
Years past? Like taking Nylander because of position. That certainly worked out. Just my opinion but with a first overall pick I'm not drafting for position this year or ever.
Re-sign McCabe. Trade Risto in package or alone. Find a goaltender split with Umark or don't re-sign Ulmark and find #1 guy via trade. It may take Risto plus to get a winger and a goal tender. The flat cap and expansion draft may actually help us.
Really don't want to ignore. I'm sure he has a lot to offer here but the bashing of the owners and management has reached a level of just constant finding fault with anything and everything. Having said that I've been very critical of ownership myself.
At the least.you have the top guy. Only exception in my mind is you trade the pick or you have the flexibility to move othet assets. Defensemen of his calibre are in my opinion more valuable than a forward. Just my opinion.
Still tend to think with the #1 pick you take the consensus #1 player regardless of position. We've picked for position before recently and that pick was shortly moved out.
Oh hummm. We have to bash. Let's give it a break and not just look for ways to criticize. Man there's enough to with out this! This forum can be down right depressing.
Agree on the goalkeeper. We'll have to disagree on trading off Jack/Rhino unless, of course , they just don't want to be here. And that's a distinct possibility of course.
