  1. They've got a good thing going in Abby right now. I'd rather they didn't mess with that
  2. Depends on what you consider tweaks. A coaching change, if they hire the right coach, will make a huge difference. They need some rigid systems with this group
  3. It's a good draft and decently deep, but it looks better than it is because of bedard.
  4. The buck stops at BB, he's the coach, he develops and SL-instructs his assistants what he wants and who he wants out there.
  5. Nonis did not get fired for that and Kesler is about as far from a reliable source as I can think of from that team. It's all speculation and rumour and, ultimately, people are upset by a business owner running his business. Do you think all owners don't do that? Of course they do
  6. get a coach with a strong defensive system in there and we'll see where the problem with the dcorp lies. Not that they don't need to re-make the dcorp, they do, but this is a systems (or lack thereof) issue, imo.
  7. I think he'll be looking at a shorter term deal as well. There won't be many teams out there that would be cominfy throing a huge deal at a guy who has played one season.........at least not a team that is any good.
  8. yeah, I don't buy that. No way the Canucks offer is in the 6's. No chance
  9. You don't want understand the need to make the playoffs year after year in a league where the goal of every team is to make the playoffs and win the championship?
  10. We'll agree to disagree. Yiyve still got to have players to play important roles and those players are hard to get. OEL landed in their laps and filled a need that needed to be filled. I have zero issues with adding a top three damn.
  11. They made lots of moves, they drafted pretty well and got their elite G, elite scorer and elite dman to go with their captain and elite faceoff guy to build around. They made moves to try and put a competitive team in front of them until they were ready, sadly injuries hampered that more than everything . Those weren't "shortcuts" there were attempts to give those young players a competitive culture so they didn't become the Oilers or Sabres. I'm not sure what's bad about that. I'm not sure where zegras and MacT come into the picture, but I don't care about Gunther, id rather have a top 3 dman in there. Nonetheless those core guys managed to develop nicely and they made decent progress until last year, which is when bold moves needed to be made, and they weren't.
  12. I understand what you're saying, I'm just disagreeing with you. There's nothing more important than the two points, that's why they play the games and every player knows that. I just watched the movie "Ice Guardians" and to a man, every player interviewed said the toughest thing for them to learn, after the instigator rule was put in, is when to fight and when not to fight because you never, ever put your team down a man and risk losing the two points. There is nothing more important than the W.
