JB and ownership will not sit around, moves will be made , we shall see if they have learned anything.

Not signing Toffoli was a huge mistake and thats on JB

Lucky we got Schmidt for next to nothing because he is a tire fire defensively. Myers ,Schmidt , Hughes are all bad defensively. Rathbone too small Hughes to small , Edler too old , Juolevi cant turn under pressure to the outside. Yah we look good offensively but when big forwards come in on them and they are not supported its a train wreck in their end.

True Green was a offensive player and had to adapt and it seems he wants everyone to adapt as he did. . Some players cant adjust JV is a all go type guy and Green took the racehorse out of him.

Have you watched Tampa's D

Virtanen LOL. Look at the board in his draft year lots of better options. Virtanen and Juolevi are wasted picks . period .

Yup I'm 62 and retired, and I hope a cup will come our way in next 10 years......

Yup our window is 3 to 5 years away

We are stuck with Green , Green needs to adjust with the times, The Defensive systems in place are on Green he is the one that signs off on how his team plays. Same with the power play Green signs off on that as well. The coaches are directed by Green period . Green can only ice a team provided by Benning . The product on the ICE is on Benning period. So 2 more years of HEE HAW. From what I can see is we need two Big D men Cernak, Rutta, or Hakanpaa types Low price tags . One big 3rd line center with speed but can play and can be mean. Our first may be in play to get one of the pieces. Trade Schmidt for the center.

take a look at what the Kraken will most likely

Did you see who he played with

Take a look at this they will be better then us

LOL this one is even worse.

LOL so AZ will take Erickson Rooster plus a second round pick and they have to retain salary LOL... what a joke.

Maybe I would sigh Rutta big mobile and plays a safe game and Hamonic both wont cost a bunch , Schmidt trade him to Buffalo for Eakin and a 2nd

JB needs to make three moves and not sign the following No to Suter, Edler, Trade for Cernak , Sign Rutta , find a good cheap 3 rd line center

Yes time will tell but is JB really the guy to close the deal . He reminds me of Uncle Buck !

Change is needed look at the club that have made changes and are now in the playoffs . JB is not a great drafter by no means average at best. His scouts have a lot to do with his picks like i said before my dog could draft as well.

I say Bailey/ Motte, Graovac, Podkolzin. line would cause a lot of havoc.

Graovac can be our 3rd line center he needs to work on faceoffs but thats about it.

Trade our first for Cernak out of Tampa .

Hughes is fine as he gets older and more mature he will get better . Better defensive partner would help Hamonic is ok but Cernak would be a better fit. Tampa needs cap space so there is a window of opportunity.

Quin Hughes needs a Big mean defensive type as his partner . Problem is when you have small forwards combined with small D men you tend to loose a lot of puck battles . Bigger teams win, small teams do well in the regular season but fade in the playoffs . Your players that can make a difference in the playoffs play in the corners.. As much as I like our team we are not built for the playoffs. A change is needed in the back end. Schmidt is not the type of D we need. Edler is too old . the type of D we need is, looking at Tampa, Cernak , Rutta , Sergachev, By the way all three JB could have had in free agency drafted or traded for.

Well lets keep drafting, 5 more years and we may have something

The whole team was pissed at the start of the year because of Benning's moves. And all the Benning cool aid drinkers say yah it was necessary because of future cap problems . I say bull crap to that . Allso Benning is a Drafting God . My dog could draft as well as him . Virtanen , Juolevi both misses compared to what was on the board. Over paying and signing free agents is a crap shoot but when you make a mistake move on . Benning's failure as a GM to make a difference and his bumbling persona makes him a laughing stock of the league . We are 7 years into this and I say another 5 may make us a contender do we have the time to give this Idiot to draft and sign players that we will not win with?
