  1. They were in a similar boat too with players getting hurt/hit hard and nobody answering.
  2. Yeah he called the play and won the draw but Burroughs flopped it.
  3. So far luck is on our side. Hasn't been a lot this year.
  4. I was like that for a while but you just end up with the same old same old. If you want people to be happy they have a good month. 1-2 games won't cut it.
  5. Wow Hockey gods are smiling at us after that Vegas choke.
  6. 11 points(5 goals/6 assists), +1 in 18 games in the SHL as a 21 year old in his first full season. Pretty solid year thus far for him. Will probably see him sign later in the year.
  7. I’d like his draft selections back. Theodore, Rakell Severson and Skjei would look a lot better than Shinkaruk, Gaunce, Mallet and Jensen.
  8. @qwijibo I think I have better questions for discussion. If we put Miller on the market this TD where do you think he might rank amongst potential players made available? When do you think it’s best to trade him at his highest value? I believe it’s this year but perhaps I haven’t considered other alternatives? You brought up the point of allowing teams to talk and work extensions which would add a certain level of value. I am all about maximizing return on an asset. I think we can get more than what we paid since Miller’s blown expectations out of the water. Sometimes timing is everything though.
  9. I think we disagree on the value at the time then. I think Miller has more value than what we paid for him even with his time remaining. He’s putting up 1st line production getting paid 2nd line dollars and brings a lot to the table. He is also not having an off-year in terms of production or potential injury so far like Pacioretty. Not sure that was the best comparison. There’s no guaranteed 1st. Like I already stated. They miss the playoffs then it’s Schneider and two 2nds. You could change the conditions too.
  10. No Hamonic or Poolman now for the rest of this road trip. Luke Schenn still out with injury. We will see 3 of Hunt, Burroughs, Rathbone or Bowey play the next 2 games. Could be rough.
  11. Hmm I thought it was fineable. He had intent to smack him but let off. Must be more so on the intent.
  12. Pacman had 17 goals and 20 assists in 64 games and was -16 the season prior to getting moved too Vegas. Wasn’t he also hurt that year too?
  13. You misunderstood the deal I stated. Miller for Schneider, a second and another conditional 2nd that could turn into a 1st if they make the playoffs. He's worth more than what we paid for him even with only a year and a half left on a cap-friendly deal. PPG player on an underperforming team, he wins draws, has size. Can't ask for much more at his cap-hit. Not asking for the world either like the deal you implied.
  14. They'd probably be more interested in Miller than Petey, but not at that price. JT Miller for Braden Schneider and both of their 2022 2nds with one a conditional 1st if they make the playoffs.
  15. Imagine the company the boss runs is a crap company and then does that.
  16. They brought him in mid-season last year. They won 15 of 32 games with him last year as head coach. They're buying into his system now the following season What that tells me is that this season might wash. New coach will have to coach out the bad system/habits and teach the team to master new ones. It could be a process but a necessary one. JB should be gone with Greener too though. Don't think he should get another opportunity at picking a coach. Need to clean house.
