Yes, I am tired of losing. However, with this current roster, I do not see us making it far into the playoffs unless everything goes perfectly like it never does. His idea is decent. If we were to focus on the roster for 19-20 or 20-21, and trade all those for prospects from the first or second rounds, and getting an immense amount of talent down the road to be a cup contender. We already have our franchise player, now we just need the right surrounding cast.

I must say, I did like the old one better, namely because of the whole right side which is now missing.

Man, why couldn't we have won the lottery last year? We would have by far the best center group in the league. Eichel, ROR, Matthews, Reinhart, Larsson, Girgs. Girgs/Reinhart at wing and/or trade one of the 6.

Or a current good LW with a couple seasons under his belt.

I like the 1st one except for expecting 2 of the prospects to be ready right away.

When does everyone expect Mitteldstadt to be NHL ready?

Having O'Reilly as the 3rd line center is definitely intriguing. I think that I would like to see this happen as I see ROR as less dependent on his wingers being good, because he makes them better. Also, Pominville+ROR should get us a bunch of points. Also I like Kane with Reinhart.

1) I believe that yes it is good enough. However, we could also move Reinhart to center, and send girgs to the LW. This would make the Lw/C stronger but weaken the RW2) As is I do not think the Lw is strong enough, but if we sign Vanek it could become manageable.

I would be ecstatic if this happened, but 112 points sounds a little high

Anybody want any of these? http://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/left-wing/ufa/available/

Pessimist much?

What if it was something like: Kane-Eichel-Baptiste(if deemed ready) Nylander(if ready)-ROR-Okposo Pouliout-Reinhart-Pomminstein Girgensons-Larsson-Bailey Scandella-Risto McCabe-Antipin Baloo-Bogo This is hoping that the young Guns step up a lot, and that we somehow get rid of Moulson. Also with this, I like our 3rd line much better.

Personally I would like 1 or 2 more Lw signings. One to fill out our chart with Kane-pouliout-Girg and another to create competition/more freedom to trade Kane.

I'm definitely for trading Lehner if we can get someone to bite. Lehner can be a solid goalie but is useless in a shootout. Unfortunately I only made it to 2 games last year, and both ended with us losing in a shootout with Lehner not stopping a single shot.
