  1. Krav was a free swing at a potentially high end guy. He has the size and skills, but lacks the motivation (as of now) to be his best. Would be great if he's sign a two-way deal and go to Abby and work on being better. But he's a coming RFA and I suspect we just to resign him.
  2. Acquiring Bloom was a very Gillis like move.
  3. How about Brock recognizes that playing in "da Beauty" league for his summer training isn't good enough. It's empty words until Brock comes to camp at 190 and super fit because he's committed to being at his best.
  4. Gillis was using draft capital to try and win the Cup. His era was far different from Benning, who used draft capital in hopes to make the playoffs. Gillis was our best ever GM, and it's not that close, considering the success of his clubs. The new management seems a lot more aligned with Gillis in that they have a core in place and are smart. So hopes are high they can be as good as him and we will have a great team again soon.
  5. Risto has a sock puppet brain. Trade Myers some time prior to the 2024 TDL. Buyout OEL. Dumperoo Garland. There’s cap space
  6. Gillis was the GM during our most successful era. That’s not arguable. He took an existing core, which was not winning, and built a supporting cast of players around that core that made the team a winner. Easily or best GM ever. I think everyone agrees that Benning was our worst ever.
  7. Shoes must have Velcro. Pants must be super stretchy. Tops need to be extra double too big. Easy keeper clothing is the fashion.
  8. 5-3 Krackheads McCaan - they’re top glue sniffer.
  9. I think Karlsson would jump in but McDavid would whine that the water was too cold.
  10. Yup. Since after year one of Benning. Clearly should have rebuilt properly during those years. But we did come out with a great young core. The retooling continues.
  11. We clearly miss Hronek. The guy is a great player and a fabulous get for us.
  12. We went from Gillis, who was GM during our most successful era, to Benning who was GM during our worst. I get the feeling our new management is like Gillis. It took him a few years to build the supporting cast around an existing core. This group will do the same.
  13. Yes, Bo has really bad stats. 1 point and minus 12 in those 15 games but he’s doing the “little things”. Bo “little things” Horvat. Insane the contract he was demanding and got. Don’t see any Bo (and the trade) defenders here anymore.
  14. Alf drives an EV. Sure, its top speed is only 8 kph but it has an excellent horn! Honk … Honk!
  15. Yup. Dodged a bullet and got Hronek, Raty, and new Beau out of the deal. In a defensive system is old Bo a 40-50 point player?
  16. Many here said Bo was cheating the game for offence and that it would dry up when forced to play defensively. We clearly have smart management. That was a great trade for us.
  17. Bo didn’t even do the “little things” is his club’s 2-1 loss. No points, bad on face offs and a minus.
  18. Aren’t there some “Huskies” in this game?
