It's more kettle chip time!  I hope the salt reaches my chips after I shake the bag a bunch!

All you can do is joke abt it. Juice is right.. "what core?"

Exactly as ive been saying.  We need a legit #1 dman and a legit elite scoring winger.   We have pretenders in these roles currently.

So close to what? A wildcard spot . 

 

winning a cup is the goal this team isn’t close to be a cup contender. 
 

I was being sarcastic. Of course we aren’t close.

Playoff teams don’t keep coming out this flat though and set themselves up to lose every game. We’re just not there yet.

I really don’t understand how that keeps trending that way.

 

Like are these guys not professional? How do other teams get up for big games?

 

Maybe quit the messing around playing soccer and do some actual mental and physical preparation?

Untouchables for me: Petey, Hughes, Miller, Demko, Schenn, Podkolzin

 

Trade/listen to offers on: Everyone else

Honest question: what has Podkolzin done that makes you think he's worth keeping around? He clearly still needs a lot of development.

 

If he wasn't a first round pick for us, would you still be as high as you are on him? He produces like Dickenson and he never controls the play. The only thing he has is he's solid defensively for a kid his age. He doesn't hit. He rarely is engaging. What exactly makes him untouchable?

Still time left,big mountain to climb.Im gonna remain glass half full.hopefully words were said in the locker room

We will be lucky to keep this under 10.  At least Demko will get a well deserved night off tomorrow.

they will trade now for sure lol. Boeser, motte, garland, poolman, schenn, Halak, chaisson, Hamonic, Hunt, pearson, dickenson...hopefully gone by monday. 

I dont see them trading Garland - he fits exactly what the team needs and wants. 
We dont get anything for Poolman, Chiasson, or Dickinson - we'd need to give assets to get a team to take those (so realistically those moves if they happen would be in the offseason to a team that wants to tank for picks)
Motte probably goes at the deadline
Hopefully Boeser goes at the deadline
Halak has a No movement clause, he's not going anywhere
We cant afford to trade away Hamonic, he's the only defensive defenseman we have

YAY! 
Hope you are well!

Thank you ..... I am wonderful. Had a great day but tonight all my sports teams are losing. Should have gone to bed feeling like a winner about 3 hours ago.

Where is that "I Told You So" thread?  

Blow it up JR.  Cap space, and draft picks.  That's all we want in return for trades.  

I’d love to see some size and grit. You g prospects with those qualities would be good.

That looks fun across the street from Rogers Arena.  What is that with the tents?

That would be impossible to move out that many guys in one deadline to be fair

Really wanna wipe the smirk off that ‘Lames’ face. (Lindholm)

Pods is on his ELC.  Only an idiot would trade a young player who is on their ELC during a time we clearly need to have more of these players.

10 is a bit drastic,even after that period

Haha that is funny. Describes us perfectly but it has nothing to do with the players. It's all Green's fault. Nothing to worry about. Just get the next one.

Because he’s a 20 year old kid in his first season in North America with untapped potential. Giving up on him would be more than insane.
