Sorry but if we are talking about "if they get in" next year, Adams has objectively failed. Suggesting a guy who will finish 1st or 2nd in the Norris vote hasn't really had his cup winning window open yet is just not accurate.

what hellscape r you reading?

I have no desire to trade for baby Ristolainen.

I mean, that's just not true. Dahlin is very physical in front of his own net and in the corners. He might be more physical than Samuelsson actually. This is 100% true and we need to seriously be looking to move on from Clague and Bryson if we want to be serious about playoffs.

2023. I'd rather have 2 assets than 1.

CBJ doesn't make sense IMPO. They have a ton of defensive talent in the pipe that will be rolling in next season. Ottawa I could see but bleh and the Kings could easily make a trade with their pool of assets. If Buffalo is involved, I hope the 1st rounder is in 2024 because this 2023 draft class is really good.

I tend to agree with you. Rosen and Kisakov are really the only true finesse types we have. The rest of that forward class has some salt to their games.

Hopefully because he can't play WR.

21 points ahead of #2 Zach Benson. It is insane the level of production a July Bday is producing in the WHL.

We need a movie covering Taffy 3. We have multiple Pearl Harbor movies and an okay Midway movie (considering we have actual footage from Midway is crazy) but as far as I know, no movie for Taffy 3. The thing I have learned from WWII and both the Tunisia Campaign and the Battle of the Pacific is that logistics tend to win wars. Battle of Britain is another example where by the time it ends in October, the British are producing more planes then they are losing by significant margins.

Yes I know. Oddly enough the reason I know is interesting. In the Hunt for Red October, Captain Ramius says Halsey acted stupidly and chastises Ryan for coming to wrong conclusions about him. When I was younger and first saw the movie I didn't understand because of from a standard US history perspective, Halsey gets lots of credit from WWII. Anyways that got me over the years to study the Battle off Samar and Taffy 3. It is insane that Hasley spent the entire morning hearing report after report of a major Japanese attack and refused to release any of his ships even though at the time, his fleet was so massively superior to the Japanese fleet he faced (which he knew) that his carriers alone could have handled it. Halsey had 5 fleet carriers and 5 escort carrier plus all of their escorts. Why he needed all 6 battleships and the 8 cruisers is unknown. Also also Halsey had dispatched about 50% of his force a few days before the battle to refit and rearm even though he had intelligence reports of the Japanese preparing to attack. Dude really did act stupidly. But back to the original point. Yes, you are 100% correct Nimitz did not actually utter the words even though they are attributed to him.

Here is my issue. It isn't that we lost, as shown above even good teams lose to bad ones over the course of the season, it is that we lose the same way over and over and over and over. A defense that just looks so overmatched by the opposition they can't do anything. It is frustrating. Without Dahlin and with Power still a rookie, this defense is what? Bottom 8 in the league?

There is no reason for KO to be on a PP unit and that isn't meant as a bash to KO. He needs his legs for other things. VO is only useful on the PP so idk what to do with that. Honestly, I would trade VO for the defense help we desperately need because as soon as now we can replace him. Jack Quinn should be on a PP unit and be a go to guy. He has so many tricks that he just generates chaos. We need more Chaos... on offense. On defense Jack Quinn is also one of the best forwards.

It doesn't have to be Chychrun but it has to be better than Stillman. There isn't anyone in the pipeline who could be in Buffalo next year except Johnson. We have to add defense from the outside or we will be yet another team with an obvious issue that just festers until it causes the death of another season.

Yes this thread is older BUT! before SDS shuts us down, Jack Quinn had a dip and then in the last 7 games has bounced back hard and fast. Jack Quinn in the last 7 games has 3g, 5a, and is a +6. We will need him to maintain his production for the stretch here with Tuch out. We need Jack Quinn to breakout, now.

We don't always agree but we do here. You have to take these points because you are going to need them. You MUST win these games.

Off to bed. If there's one thing I've learned, it's many dire things look different in the morning.

The defense is the one thing I want. There's almost no help coming in the pipeline so he's gotta add from outside.

Olofsson was useless. I can't name a single decent play he made. Mitts also gonna toss into the good list from above. Thought he was at least skating and generating.
