  1. I don't think management will allow that to happen... and secondly Miller himself actually came forward to Tocchet and said, he hope Tocchet could help him learn to control his emotions. Will it work? Who knows, but I think its a better start, than he is given credit for....
  2. There's a lot of talk about Miller shouting at other players.... Except for the one time, he gave both barrels to the goal keeper, iis it really that common, that he shouts at his team mates? I can't say, I've seen him scream at his team mates, but maybe my memory has gone soft.
  3. Maybe.... I think if the team is winning, you can put up with a lot of garbage... In no world is Petey going to be Millers bitch... and even Miller knows that. If they don't win, I think Petey will leave. on a side note, I don't think Tocchet will let Miller ruin the dressing room... There's a good few players in there, who I asume a friendly. What suprised me slightly, is Petey saying that it is always friends from home, he is playing games with.... That doesn't sound like a tight unit.... ?
  4. No sure, OEL is here because we couldn't wait 1 more year to offset our well paid bottom 6 players... Wouldn't it be more sensible to let the contract run down instead.
  5. hmmmm..... Last time we did a similar stunt was OJ v Tkachuk... it definitely depends which C is avaiable.
  6. Yes, we will never know though. Regardless agree 100%, let sleeping dogs lie
  7. Could you possibly push the dagger a little deeper...
  8. This is the CDC.... loves nothing better, than to re open old wounds...
  9. This is very true... This was exactly why @hammertimeand @R3aL + myself amongst other were disappointed last year, when we didn't go for Bichsel or Pickering at our draft position. nothing untowards the winger we took, but we need some Dmen in the system.
  10. We need everything. By the time he'll (hopefully) be more than a 3rd pairing OEL could be gone... Who knows, maybe QH will be? It'll be 3-5 years at best before these players will be bringing any meaningful contributions to the team... and god knows we need some BIG hard to play against D men left and right, who can defend. We need just about everything on defense and at C....
  11. Where is Simashev predicted to go? Sounds exactly like a player we should target.
  12. Yes nobody can argue that... we just don't have players like that on the team just now... Maybe Klim, Podz or the next drafted player will catagorise as such, but the closest atm is Miller, so hmmmm...
  13. Aye its as I said, depends on, what we want from out captain. Times are changing, and I gues a lot of these team wouldn't have had Naslund, Sedin or even Horvat as their captain? I would love a Captain, that leads by example, but since EP doesn't want it, I don't see any stand outs bar Schenn tbh?
  14. I'd give QH a few more years to grow, hopefully, and then I see him as a good captain. I guess it depends on what we expect from our captain, but for now Schenn would have my vote. A little uncertain about Miller, unless Tocchet can get the lazy back checkings and line changes out of Millee, in which case he'd be fine...
  15. If EP has no interest in being a captain, it should go to QH or Schenn if he is still around. Schenn would be my preference as he defo leads by example.
  16. Either way, he is like a free player in a cap world. yes he'll return a pick.
  17. Who knows... the weed smell is still the same, so.....
  18. He said, he didn't like the smell of weed, and he was unhappy they tried to put him to AHL as far as i recall... He also had to watch some Chris Pronger videos, by our then coach... weird times... It was a disappointing story.
  19. The one of interest would be Miller, but we have to retain for 7 years... don't think they have the stomach for that. Boeser and Myers are the ones that would make sense to retain on. Even Schenn or the likes, anyone on short contracts would make sense to retain on, if it would bring back something.
  20. Well the plans were sealed last summer. it has been quite evident the entire season, that once they signed Miller based on his play that season, Bo would be gone, if results didn't improve. They didn't, so he is gone. Lets be real here, we all (or at least most of us) loved Bo, but to sign him to an 8M contract would not change much, and we can all agree that somethings have to change....now! Will they live to regret it? Maybe, but Bo's fate was sealed the day Miller signed his 8M contract. All the best to Bo, and lets built a grittier feistier team that can actually compete and get us into the play offs again. It'll take a few years to turn it around, and especially get rid of some of the cap, but changes were/are needed.
  21. Thank you... there's much talk about points and great going forward etc. We are generally scoring for fin, and where did that leave us? we need a Dman that can defend properly.. and hopefully big and mean enough to hurt people.
  22. Yeah let see how he does on NA ice first. lets not rush him, plenty of time to reach his potential.
  23. Fun part in all of this is, maybe just maybe (with a bit of luck, obviously) we aren't that far away after all.... 4-6 years til they could potentially be game changers. Now wouldn't that surprise us all
