Mo Grit Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 5 minutes ago, stawns said: I doubt garland is on the block Ur probably right stawns, but its said that everything has its price. Nobody wants Boeser's contract, Garland has energy to little end effect and Miller's price of a middling 1st 2023 and middling 1st 2024 doesn't help us keep Petey n Quinn happy while they're still with us. Initial rejection by 'Vancouver says', could if true, just be brinkmanship. Nothing should shock us today, given the past few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picks need to be of enough value to be flipped for a young centre. Were they? Obviously not. Can’t just give away Miller and not be able to replace his minutes. Our owner will not allow a rebuild. Do what other choice does Allvin have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They traded one of them to dallas for a 1st and the other to us. Another to Kings. The big reason they could make those trades was because they had a great prospect pool. The reason why they could sign Panarin was because they had cap. Our prospect pool isn't as good and we don't have cap. We are not in a similar spot as the Rangers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading for Hronek and Bear this year has drastically made our right side better. I’d argue Bear has been our 2nd best dman after Hughes and Hronek is a stud, even if he’s not the stud everyone wanted. We’re really starting to look better and better for next season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed......I doubt they're shopping him, but he might end up being the sacrifice. That said, he has a very positive relationship with RT I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so bad that it's not even mediocrity, as we're typically out of the race by November. I'm not sure why so many fans find this acceptable. I don't really care what direction we go with, we just need to pick a direction. Every move contradicts the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am defiantly jaded. its not Jt it’s not the d. the cap is what we need to control first we cant improve until they get a handle on it. what do you think it’ll take to get under the cap Myers garland boeser OEL pearson poolman it’ll be expensive and damaging. as for the new guys making us better. last year after Bruce took over we went on a great run , forgive me if I need to see more than 10 games to think this club improved and I like the new guys . the fact demkos back and in good form is great however it also covers once again how bad we are . 36+ shot against in his two games. Our issues just get hidden again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to take shortcuts to make the playoffs just leaves them without any playoff revenue at all.
