cuporbust Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 2 hours ago, BigTramFan said: When you go into the season knowing that you don't have enough depth on the PK, then you really can't complain about how tough it is to lose players. Highmore is/was never much of a penalty killer. Sutter being out wasn't a surprise to JB, so what did he do about it? Nothing. Could have picked up Derek Grant off waivers as a replacement. Motte being out is not overly surprising either, as he is always getting injured with how he plays. What was the plan B? Yep, you guessed it, nothing. Again, JB could have picked up someone like Blake Comeau off waivers. Both Grant and Comeau would have been useful depth even when Motte and (perhaps) Sutter returned. Dickinson has been out for only 2 games. His top 3 penalty killers were out. I also believe green had enough to make due better then he has. Obviously, no pk is going to be at its best with that many top pk guys out , but green has not motivated , or managed what he has . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Sorry....yes I forgot Hoggy!!! If we had a new GM and they had a sweet offer for JT Miller he can be dealt and Hoggy take the spot, But this is just a trial for a game to get EP and BB going. Hoggy is on fire, hence my mistake is actually a S M R T move...he can produce and spark his own line #3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's having one hell of a year to start. 5 shutouts already. Could be on his way to 10 SO the entire season, maybe more. I understand why management allowed Markström to walk. But if they decided that Demko was the guy, couldn't they at least have traded him and rolled the dice with Demmers moving forward? They allowed yet another asset to walk away for nothing. That has been an MO of this current management. I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed Miller to walk for free instead of trading him for pieces coming back. It's the way of Benning and Weisbrod, which sucks. I don't know another worse GM/AGM tandem in the league that is worse than they are right now. Who's worse?

Devron Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Can’t see how it made sense to trade Markstrom during that season. We were in the fight. Don’t get fans, don’t get that one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Luck Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The canucks are actually pathetic. Flames are killing it. Oiler are killing it. canucks are getting killed..but good ole aqua does nothing. This franchise is now the joke of the league..other than desert dogs.

Anyone who's currently in an active executive position of an NHL team that's worse? I'd say Doug McLean has also been bad as well, but he's not active. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but the last 6-7 years, they've always managed to get a winning run at the end of the season.... if it really is goibg to continue to be bad, I really do hope they end up picking in the top 3-5...

How the Islanders ownership could allow him to run their franchise for so long and did so much damage is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
