I kinda don't want to lose anything on the roster other than Pearson or Myers, and we've certainly coughed up enough picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have friction it won't go well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, coupled with the possibility of a Petey offer sheet has me concerned. Hoping Benning can pull a rabbit out of the hat and land us someone we're not thinking of. An offer sheet still has to be signed by the player, and in this case EP; if he signs one then he really is not keen on staying as one of the main piece in the young core. JB and his team has to learn to sell the their vision to these type of players: that they will be willing to stay & sign deals that are team friendly. It is one thing to acquire a very talented player - keeping it all intact for an extended period of time with cap flexibility is what separates the great GM’s from the rest.

Supposedly Trotz didn't care for Nate either. Not slamming Nate, I like the person and the player, but maybe he needs someone like Gallant to get the best out of him.

Always hate losing to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler, Tanev, Markstrom, Toffoli, Leivo, Stecher, Virtanen & no trading deadline fodder. This was a year of change for everyone, but at some point continuity, team chemistry & timing win championships. ^Too many flushes & there’s not enough still water left to accomplish these goals. I think you’ve stated exactly what has taken place ,. All of the departed players were redundant to us.. it was time to fine tune, create roster and money space for players we need to keep as they enter their prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieVedder Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Still cant believe some of the jokers on this board actually thought this guy was a legit #2 and would help us.

Make some bad moves in the 2020 off season and try to address them the next off season to look like a genius. He's basically Mysterio in Spider-Man Far From Home.

Cat Man Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 2 hours ago, ShawnAntoski said: Mostly agree cause there really is no guarantee that a player will perform when acquired cause of the human factor: he might not click with the Staff/locker room or etc; and it is hard/nearly impossible motivating a player that is not happy being on the team. A cost free attempt, not a mistake. Lets call it a reach or an experience, like he stopped by for a look see. He did a flyby and a drivethru for a Canuck in and out burger. Not here long enough for an era more like a period. A lingering essence and whooping cries faint reminders of JB's Schmidtsperiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
