  1. Highmores hits are the equvilant of a bumble bee bouncing of. and most of the time he takes the worst of it.how durable was he last year again.(49gp) i rather have a third and fourth line that doesn’t fall down from the wind of other players. They don’t have to be goons of old, lammiko was good some size and speed. To beat the horse I doubt you’d find a gm that would put highmore in the 4th line over The two guys jbidoit threw away last summer. never question his heart but he’s and AHLer or call up depth at best on a good team.
  2. I saw that Gar for Mar on hockey news feed a few weeks back . I don’t know if getting Kuz or not will change that. MIller is going to be to expensive so I doubt he’s here after august regardless. hopfully we can add speed size throughout the line up this summer so we aren’t just pushed aside constantly. When guys like highmore are being praised for bouncing off and falling down on the 4th line forecheck it’s a clear indicator for the total lack of physicality this team has.
  3. After these playoffs tamp would be wise to try and do a quick rebuild/retool sell off all the 30+ vets keep the talent younger players . Teams would be lining up to over pay a lot of the aging top 6. the window to win in about to be slammed shut instead of milking out declining mediocrity. Hope Avs can sweep TB now so we can get on with the off season
  4. We have to many holes and the only way to fill them is to use the assets we won’t be able to afford to keep.. the teams the relied heavily on goaltending didn’t get past the second round if they even made the playoffs. I rather see JT traded so when he’s 34-35 and a 8/9mill third liner the assets we get will be just coming into their prime.(and affordable) Now we see the cost of the terrible management we’ve had. Foresight and asset management matter and 7 years of neither equal saying goodbye to good players. And fixing the same issues we had 7 years ago. This is the cost of the ill advised short cuts They took. (Even linden said this before getting knifed in the back) Jb assembled a expensive fringe wildcard team that’s to slow to small and terrible defensively and that’s what this group is. I’m good with moving players to try to build a CUP team. Barely Squeaking In and get swept in the first round has zero appeal to me.
  5. To those who think we were “good.” You better hope demko stays heathy and can continue to play at a vezina caliber nightly. then we can run him into the ground so when we make the playoffs he’s exhausted… look at chances for and against we were not good as a team. bruce did a good job with what he had but thinking that we can give up 40 shots a night and be a playoff team
  6. In Vancouver he has the chance to be the star when he makes a mistake we have a goaltender that will cover it up in Edmonton it’ll be a goal and a minus. So Does he want to sign elc and show the league what he can do or what mcdavid can do. If he goes to edm he should get use to this “well he is playing with mcbaby and drieyes”
  7. yeah buts that’s our unofficial slogan. “oil country “ is what they brag about lololololololol
  8. Maybe a signed mogilny and bure jerseys would help actually if stupid Fluff like that is the difference he’ll fit in better in Edmonton. edmonton has a tear drop of oil on there jersey the slogan is maybe the worst in the league “oil country” that alone should be enough to not to be there.
  9. How many player will we need to sign with that? 35 isn’t a lot when your talking Bo miller and brock podz entry level done to. then do you go with the short term mentality that Jb loved and look like a dear in the headlights when EP expire.
  10. Yeah that ship sailed with the short sighted trade for OEL. but I’m in the trade miller camp anyway.
  11. Holtby JV halak 3.4mill Just like almost out from under the mountain of trash contracts only to trade for another 6 year mistake. oh well atleast that idiot is gone
  12. I wonder how many others turned the job down to resort to tort. Plan T next up players asking to be traded followed closely by media blow with a stupid comment then fired Ho hum and it’s Back to US nhl media obscurity rinse and recycle
  13. huh I just want the home team to lose every game in the series. i guess everyone was right I am a jerk. Lol
  14. Yeah it seems so. It would be hard to do worse at managing the cap and planning the future than JB did. watching don and Dhali they mention nucks want to add speed and sandpaper Sanford out of STL and Rooney out of NYR are guys that are on that list. Just endless names being tossed out. but most agree big changes are coming
  15. Ufas rarely live up to the overpayment they’ll receive if we’ve learned nothing from JB era it’s that. the best value guys are the ones still looking for work in august.on low risk 1 year contracts vanek was one of JBs best UFA Copp Deslauriers will be way over priced and we’d just end up with the same issues that plagued this poorly managed team over the last 8 seasons. Hope our management team can find those diamonds at good value with out all the hype of the high profile guys.
  16. Bieska awesome “bob Mackenzie my favourite insider “ to Friedman lolololololololol
