    As Mll said, this is not a team right now.

     

    Why not?

     

    Well, a team takes time to gel.

     

    Last year's team was a culmination of many years of players building a connection.

     

    The heart of the team last year was Markstrom.  He had been building his role as #1 on the team for a couple years.  Every player in the room knew it and they all felt Marky had their backs.

     

    One of the two defensive hearts was Tanev.  He was a calming influence on the ice and in the dressing room... the kind of quiet leader everyone on the team respected.

     

    And Stecher sweated and bled every game for the team.

     

    Rip those guys out without a second thought and it makes everyone on the team think twice.

     

    If the best player on the team can be thrown away without a second thought, then where does that leave the rest?

     

    If they were replaced with equally skilled players then that can make up for the loss... with time.

     

    Don't replace them with equals and you get a dressing room which isn't the same.

    Tanev > 88 from what I've seen so far.

  2. I watched until the first goal tonight and had seen enough. This is the end of this group and Benning. It was obvious he wasn't up to the job when he passed on Tkachuk but we had to continue on blindly. Tkachuk, Tryamkin and Virtanen all need to be here and are not. Virtanen is a first liner who needs coddling. Deal the $%^& with it. (Then get rid of him whatever) All three are heavy players.
