They need to fire the entire coaching staff and get serious about who is running the team on the ice. Granato completely failed.

I'm amused you're stating this like it's some revolutionary hard truth we all need to hear. This team stopped being playoff bound in December. In fact there's been 0 signs this team is playoff bound since about game 20. Jeff Skinner has a full NMC. Maybe one of these days the ppl around here will remember.

I ranked him 3rd for defenders in his draft class.

AND Quinn. And Benson.

Idk what he's talking about. It's the 2019 draft correct? 27 guys of that draft at 100 or more games. That draft has talent. Also, those players are what? 22 and 23 which means they are only now entering that prime time of 24-28.

My final though here. I'm glad we acquired talent, I don't like the questions that talent has or the fact it isn't at a position of need or a skill need. I like Byram just fine and think he's a very capable 2nd pairing defender, just wish the team building strategy was different. Mitts was a tradeable asset that wasn't used to fix a problem but add to a position of strength. We'll see how Byram does.

Jeff Skinner, for the 1,000,000 times has a full NO MOVEMENT CLAUSE or an NMC. Good luck getting him to agree to any of the things you say here. Matt Savoie. Jiri Kulich. UFA

And that's the entire list of guys. Little 18yr old rookie, Zach Benson.

I mean, there's what 4? Other Canadian wjc guys he knows here? He's definitely buddies with Cozens and Krebs. So what you're saying is 4 years from now, our defense will be really good?

@Hank

It's just confusing from a team building perspective and if he doesn't stay healthy or return to form, we fail... again.

You gotta really hope this is a weird down year for Byram. But again, why do we have 5 LHD under 24? I hate that they signed Samuelsson as long as they did now, what a waste.

Fiscally conservative? What's that? Can't be talking about the current conservative party, they certainly are not fiscally conservative. I'm glad I pay school taxes and support my local public school system.
