  1. Not trump like in his personality, just in refusing to accept any responsibility for the mess he created
  2. Skating, no question. Offense, Hughes, but if OEL got equal pp time, the numbers would even out a lot more. OEL is a 40-50 pt damn, historically. Defensively, it's not even close, though Hughes is improving. Physically it's not even close I have very few issues with QH and I'm happy he's on the team.......it is possible to like two players at the same time and it is possible to see both the good and bad in a players game.
  3. OEL is a better overall damn than Hughes is, at the moment. Stupid why? He had a chance for a top 2 dman.......those opportunities don't along very often
  4. Honestly, I probably would have let boeser walk to ufa
  5. To some degree, I agree. However, I have no doubts that JB was going to use his expiring contracts, Miller especially, to address that. And again .....coaching, coaching, coaching
  6. I think people greatly under state OEL's play. He's been tye best overall dman since he got here (granted it's a low bar) and the biggest issue is the lack of any kind of coherent defensive system. You put a different coach in here, one that brings defensive structure and holds the feds accountable for play in their own end and we wouldn't even be talking about OEL and Myers, imo
  7. They're in a top 7 pick, not mid range at the moment. The biggest issue with this team is coaching and management
  8. Don't you need to make the playoffs to win the Cup? And isn't winning the Cup the entire point of the league? I feel like a lot of people forget this
  9. They should be going for the playoffs, they just didn't do it right.
  10. I doubt Myers is going anywhere until next tdl.......or at least he shouldn't, unless they can get something for him now.
  11. Very little, if anything, inspired any kind of confidence that he knows what he's doing.
  12. It's all moot but f they lose horvat, imo
  13. That is just a horrific list of possible outcomes
  14. It cemented that JR is looking for a scape goat
  15. How do you replace OEL? What's that going to cost, to replace his role and mins? Gonna be a lot more than what you'd save buying oel out ........if you can even find a replacement
  16. Any mess JB left behind was easily resolved with a Miller and Boeser move.........even letting them walk would be better than the mess they, themselves created. I certainly don't think JB was perfect, but this inherited "cap hell" bs is the exactly that......bs.
  17. I disagree, I think JB built a solid core that can still be good if the new regime sees their mistakes.......which I doubt they will. Two moves, that's all that needed to be made to achieve what they wanted to achieve......and they botched it, hard.
  18. That's the thing........there was no mess until they made one.
  19. So you want them to pay OEL almost $3m a year, with two years of over $5m, not to play in Van........and you want to do this significantly longer than his actual contract is? I honestly can't think of a worse move than that one
  20. OEL is not even remotely buyout friendly.........quite the opposite. Then you're going to have to try and replace his role and mins and that isn't going to be cheap. I have close to zero faith in this group.......so far.
  21. Because JB signed and made deals that would have been absolutely fine had the flat cap not happened. That's not an excuse, that's fact..........even at that, most of his deals are set to expire in the next year or so.
