I'm not trying to argue or lead you into a rabbit hole but Greenway was traded for a 2nd rounder (we already had another 2nd that year) so not much given up there. Byram was traded straight up for Casey Middlestadt who we weren't going to re-sign obviously since we dealt him so no assets given up other than an even swap and you're correct, finally an asset given up but we also got a 25 year old C in the deal but we did give up a 1st round talent at the time so I'll give that to Adams I reckon. Oh you did not state free agency so I thought you were speaking in general my mistake. But even so I'm sure we'd have no problems getting players to come here if we overpaid which many thought we did when we landed Zucker and I think many posters even complained about it. Maybe you're correct but I remeber Tim Murray saying something along the lines of "It's always easy getting guys to take your money" or some sort of cornball remark like that.

I can't really fathom how anyone could actually believe this, there is a huge list of players that have no- no movement clauses and I'm talking a hefty list where those players have no say in where they want to be traded. Kevyn is afraid to part with any asset and to be honest I'm glad because he should not be allowed to make a single trade if he's not going to be our GM of the future (Which if he's our GM next year I will not watch a single game that I promise you unless a miracle happens and we get to the playoffs).

So Samuelsson can't score or play defense, why is he here again?

I know they won't because there is 0 accountability with this team but Peterka has been absolutely abysmal, gave the puck over 3 times and was literally floating instead of taking RNH on that goal, his ass should be benched for several games.

I hope they re-sign Reimer, regardless when this team collapses in the 3rd he's been a bright spot and I can't remeber when we had a solid backup goalie, heck he could probably battle UPL as I haven't liked his play at all this season.

Samuelsson and Power are hot garbage once again.

Not entirely differently, I do want a solid veteran like him just not a 31 year old who's best days are behind him and is a liability defensively. Get a solid 2 way forward who has some life left, there has to be 1 out there with a NTC.

He is a defensive liability which is why the Canucks don't mind parting with him and we already have plenty of those on the roster currently. I don't see where he adds anything different other than toughness to this squad imo.

Nobody of worth that has a NMC in their contract is coming here to a half empty arena with 1 of the worst GM/owners in the league. So we need to be looking at guys with no trade clauses to see what might be available. Here are players with no NMC: Elias Lindholm Hampus Lindholm Charlie McAvoy David Pastrnak Nikita Zadorov Mikael Backlund Jonathan Huberdeau Nazem Kadri Sebastian Aho William Carrier Jalen Chatfield Jordan Staal Seth Jones Gabriel Landeskog Nathan MacKinnon Valeri Nichushkin Devon Toews Sean Monahan Zach Werenski Jamie Benn Roope Hintz Esa Lindell Tyler Seguin Leon Draisaitl Zach Hyman Evander Kane Connor McDavid Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Darnell Nurse Jeff Skinner Aleksander Barkov Gustav Forsling Matthew Tkachuk Carter Verhaeghe Kevin Fiala Vladislav Gavrikov Anze Kopitar Jonas Brodin Marc-Andre Fleury Marcus Foligno Ryan Hartman Kirill Kaprizov Filip Forsberg Roman Josi Steven Stamkos Jesper Bratt Dougie Hamilton Jacob Markstrom Timo Meier Ondrej Palat Ilya Sorokin Artemi Panarin Vincent Trocheck Mika Zibanejad Claude Giroux Travis Hamonic Linus Ullmark Sean Couturier Sidney Crosby Erik Karlsson Kris Letang Evgeni Malkin Bryan Rust Chandler Stephenson Jake Guentzel Victor Hedman Brayden Point Andrei Vasilevskiy Auston Matthews Mitch Marner William Nylander Morgan Rielly Chris Tanev John Tavares Jake DeBrusk J.T. Miller Tyler Myers Jack Eichel Tomas Hertl Alex Pietrangelo Mark Stone Pierre-Luc Dubois Connor Hellebuyck Josh Morrissey Mark Scheifele

He rejected the NY Rangers so I highly doubt he'd come here.

If they fired every scout, GM, all the assistant coaches and replaced them with upgrades then it would show this thing is headed in the right direction. I'm fully expecting the Sabres to hire Fortin as GM and Appert as HC and this will set us back at least another 5 years. Hire a legit GM who has won in some cpacity, keep Lindy as HC, get all new assistants who again have won something. Or if you're going to hire a first time GM, poach someone who is on a winning organization.

How many goals will they score on our power play this time?

6 on 4 and a guy with no stick so basically 6 on 3 and still get out worked and a goal scored on us.

My goodness Krebs is useless.

These are our leaders?
