I wish I could be this terrible at my job and be congratulated like this. How easy life would be. What a joke lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckleHorse Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I wish they would offer Vegas a couple players off the roster for 1 of their picks from the expansion draft tell them you could take 1 or have 2 for 1 maybe we could get a useful tough guy for our top 9.

Nucker 67 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I wonder if the word "rebuild" isn't being used by TL and JB, because they feel it might be a little disrespectful to the Sedins, as they're still around and relied upon. Now, after the Sedins and Edler are gone, they might say "we rebuilt" the team. It's really just wordsmithing though, doesn't matter what we call it, we know what it is.

King Heffy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 19 minutes ago, Warhippy said: For me sadly it's really simple. For this team moving forward and due to contracts and ensuing NTC's Edler either has to be asked to waive or told he's being exposed (yes I know...but if he refuses to waive there's literally 0 recourse for 2 more seasons no less) Tanev has to be shopped at least to see what the interest is, whether a trade is made or not it has to happen. Juolevi needs a spot and even though I think it's against his best interests development wise they'll have him on the team with Boeser as our youth infusion next season. Something has to give on the blue line. It's far to crowded and this team is starting to develop needs in other areas I'd prefer to see Juolevi in Utica to start the season unless he pulls a Stecher. This is our best defensive prospect since Bourdon (RIP) and he played a year in the AHL. We're going to be real bad next year so probably best to keep him out of that tire fire if we can avoid it.

Eddy's a liability, he seems completely uninterested some games . Tanev never seems to me to take a game off,and rarely gets beat.Tanevs offensive inabilities totally overcomes Eddys unrelenting blunders . And truly, really how much does he provide offensively that others in the near future will be able to provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Listening to Linden's comments regarding experience, and Benning's regarding young coaches stepping up to the NHL - I'm more and more convinced that they're leaning towards promoting Green - even if they submit it to due process - and wait before they tip their hand, perhaps in part to the distraction it may cause Utica. But I think it is very clear that they are quite open to promoting Green. I'll be somewhat surprised if that isn't what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they knew the first 2-3 years of their tenure where going to be a painful process of playing out existing NTC's, while still attempting to ice a competitive product, one could argue that they failed in the latter part of that task ( even the first round trouncing from the flames could be looked at as a failure ) , but then who would have gone to games had they come out and actually said " We are going to suck sweaty monkey nuts for the next 3 years before we even start to see a bit of light at the end of this rat infested tunnel " . Now that that process is finally almost done and the actions at this years Trade Deadline did seem to signal that the true "Re-Build" has started they simply don't want to give the media vipers who ignored the plan that Linden and Benning outlined from day one and instead of objectively discussing the moves being made, spewed putrid negativity and toxic panic inducing hysteria of each and every move unless it fit their pre-determined views of the perfect re-build " AKA Toronto is dah best, durr " . / End Rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsbutcher Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 1 hour ago, NUCKER67 said: I am so done with Edler. His disinterested play, continuous big mistakes, zero pushback and emotion. Loved seeing Hutton drop the gloves last night, and you can bet it was because Horvat dropped them game before. I love these new guys. They're wide-eyed, engaged and competitive, and I'm sure they have a lot of fun out there. Edler just looks miserable, and at his age now, he's not going to get better. Honestly he sets such a poor example for the rest of the guys, tell him you are waiving his sorry ass unless he drops his no trade clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 So there is still the delusion from management about trying to prop up the Sedins as go to guys next year with more support. Sad.

Figured it would be ok since he's an import but you're right. I think what happened with Virtanen (although a lot of that was WD's fault) is still fresh in Benning's mind. London's a good organization so I don't think they'll hesitate to send him down if he's not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
