Its almost to the point where trading him is just bad, BAD optics. Especially if we can crawl back into contention at some point. How the hell do you trade away the bloody captain who is having a season like this? It’s ludicrous to think about. Assuming his contract demands aren’t too pie in the sky.

Lol, at that last bit. Could very well be true. I’m going to assume he doesn’t need the money….and he sure strikes me as someone who could easily say tomorrow, “F this, I’m outta here”. At this point, I’m not really upset at all this - Bo gone is the only thing that would legit UPSET me - but I’m mostly just bemused at the circus, while also somewhat sad that a Stanley Cup is likely still but a pipedream at this point.

More and more Rutherford is looking like a bit of an idiot….and at the very least, an a**hole. But perhaps he is playing some 4D chess here, by attempting to absorb much of the heat on himself, in some sort of Hail Mary attempt to relieve the mounting pressure on the players and coaches. Just throwing stuff out there in an attempt to comprehend this sh*t show.

Underwhelming to be sure, but too early to make any definitive pronouncements. I continue to worry about the amount of inner drive.

I’ve never thought much of Bruce’s technical coaching, but in no way do I think he’s on the hook for all of the dysfunction on the ice. But he is the head coach so a certain amount falls on his head. I’d rather they fire him and let him go back to spot duty on TV than publicly keep flogging him in the media like they do. It’s bush league.

What a bizarre situation.

I don’t see him maintaining the pace for 50 but how incredible would that be - even though he currently sits at a 76 goal pace. Madness! I mean folks seemed to be shocked by what he’s been doing, but he’s shown to be a 30 goal guy….and if Miller could explode from a 65 point guy to 99, why couldn’t Bo go from 30 goals to 40…even 45. 50? But let’s face it, with this start 40 goals would almost seem slightly disappointing, lol. At some point Bo isn’t going to score in a game…could very well be tonight. And that will seem strange.

The organization, if they are open to the idea that they may have made errors in player priority can still keep Horvat here. And I’m just loving it as more and more folks getting onboard with the idea of Bo staying. Feels great to those of us who didn’t waver in this. But will Rutherford and company see it that way? Going to be fascinating to watch. Let’s say Horvat keeps a pace up in which it’s looking like a cinch for 40 goals…and him being drafted here, and the captain…and perhaps we are pushing for the playoffs… will this management have the stones to trade the guy? I think they will look elsewhere to alter the roster personally.
