Edmunds was one of the youngest, rawest 1st rounders ever picked and they succeeded with it. I suspect Mittelstadt may have had a lot of 'I don't mind staying in Minnesota for 4 years unless you sign me right away' behind him, which may have forced the development hand. It knocked a year off his ELC at minimum. I don't think he's busted though. Cozens is following Reinhart's footsteps in WHL development, but with more grit, which lessens Mittelstadt's need to play center. Playing center I think is a large part of what has held him back all this time, so I think the two are related in that way. I really like McBeane and Jbott. I never liked Whaley. I understood what Murray was doing, but he took many risks and missed on them all and can't forgive him for that.

People are using superlatives and calling these things the worst coaching decisions ever. When they are simply just a slight ballsy move that is moderately controversial only to meek feelings.

ahh, the alphabetical order to cause so much controversy

Scoring 2 on the first TD means they could've gone for the win on the second if they felt the desire to. Silliest thing to get worked up about.

Yeah I get it, 50 mil in cap next year is going to be nice. Plus a draft loaded with WR. Nothing really Beane could've done differently. Some of our defensive allstars are playing with borrowed time though.

Foster is trash. Guy gives up on every drive then gets overthrown don’t blame Brown there he was perfectly defended. but the tight ends left a lot to be desired. Missed tackles and dropped passes galore. Ugh

Bogosian for Galchenyuk makes sense. Equal cap rental for rental

I agree Hutton has been bad. I think the team needs to fix their damn special teams though. That is what lost this game. Hutton just didn’t steal it.

Special Teams is a PROBLEM for two months now. Who is coaching it? yes they backed off in the second period but so does every team. They played strong in the first and last half of the third. Plenty of chances

Hall played for Krueger in Edmonton. Players will follow a coach if they liked him, and by all accounts Hall enjoyed Krueger. He's gone through multiple miserable experiences since. That being said, I wouldn't pay a ransom for rental Hall. If they'd take spare parts, sure, but not 1sts and no top prospects not named Thompson.

news flash, people don't like being crammed in like sardines if they don't have to. I hope they renovate every rink with larger, more spread out seats and every 200 section is just tiered bar stools with a bartender in each one.

I don't mind Skinner-Larsson-Sheary at all. You can't complain about them at all if you watched the last game. Time will tell if it continues, but it managed to wake-up two streaky players all of a sudden. I'd rather Reinhart play with Johansson/Mittelstadt than Vesey. Jack needs to get away from Reinhart. I would like to see Skinner with Jack, especially now that Jack is much better defensively than he used to be. But the Reinhart move is more pressing to me.

Thought people wanted to trade for Palmieri. Lol not anymore

hhhhh

Can’t blame Subban

Woosh, NJ defense is playing atrocious. Thought they had Woods and Subban. the catharsis first the Sabres must feel good

Lol I don’t blame Botterill for not being able to get rid of him

Tanking for Reinhart wasn’t worth it.

Play calling has improved this season. Not sure if that’s Daboll or whether it’s Allen calling plays on the spot when he sees them. Or a combination of the two. Dpecial teams are killing them just like the Sabres though. Uncharacteristic

Really makes me happy he does this. Having confidence in his defense probably is a large factor of this.

That makes me a little worried-- if they want a game to learn how to start playing with grit, pissing off your new teammate and trading away the key agitator who did it to them wouldn't be a good start..

I haven't had the website work for years longer.. didn't specify that part =D

I thought the punishment was supposed to be harsher if you fight back with a stupid argument

New app has never once worked for me. Utterly useless

I like the rumor of Ristolainen straight up for Reilly Smith. Similar contracts
