smithers joe Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 according to cdc, if we fire the coach, trade or release, the sedins, burrows, vrbata, higgins, matthias, bonino, vey, mcmillan, hansen, kassian, hamhuis, bieksa, sbisa, weber, stanton and miller....we'll be a good hockey team...i think what they are saying is, we need a new gm and president...because the team is not ready to challenge for the cup yet...

Baer. Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Step 1. Fire everybody. Hire all CDC users as co-presidents and co-gms. Step 2. Trade entire roster for 29 other 1st round picks in the league. Step 3. Draft McDavid and every other 1st round player. Step 4. ????? Step 5. Win cup in 2016. Step 6. Profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeraldDiduck Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I doubt the GM or President thought they were going to challenge for the cup anyways. This was probably see how far we can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm not really worried about Calgary or Edmonton. Calgary is acting now because the reality is their defense and goaltending will be too old soon to contend, so right now may very well be their only chance. Mega-overrated team anyway. And Edmonton is top-heavy with lightweight players, their D is too young, and they haven't assembled enough cheap character guys to be effective in the playoffs, so they'll make some expensive trades to burn some of their talent in exchange for character and those guys will be on the downslide. McDavid, assuming he reports, helps at least to put them on the map though. I'm just anxious to see what Benning does for this team, because if we lose to Calgary in round one, I'd consider that a rebuild season put to waste. However, if he's able to use the draft effectively in later rounds, there is hope. Also, we have some prospects already. We need defense though. Desperately. We should try to avoid the same mistakes that Calgary and Edmonton made with their rebuilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_Wilkins Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I doubt the GM or President thought they were going to challenge for the cup anyways. This was probably see how far we can make it. This was to get a few games, at least, of playoff revenue for Aquilini. He's fired the last two GMs for missing the playoffs one time each. I don't think the message was lost on Linden/Benning. edit: 2 of 3 for Nonis, my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping a 1st round exit, and especially the way the Canucks have played the last two games, would speed up Benning's desire to offload most of the vets for something before their play declines further, and we get throw-ins. only, for them. Waiting until the trade deadline nest season is waiting too long. He's shown he's not afrraid of making moves quickly, so I maintain hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltt Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Can I work as your assistant? Your user name speaks volumes, so of course. Our first odour of business will be to reverse the 2013 New Jersey trade so we'll be receiving the Devils backup in exchange for Horvat. Next will be to send Kenins and Tanev to the Flames for future considerations because it's all about the future. See I know what I'm doing.
