Second Line Center

Yes but you aren't getting good talented people that ultimately have to work with and answer to a natural gas tycoon. The organization doesn't exude winning at all costs. Its something else. I dont get how half these guys are still here.

This is the problem TP is de facto Pres of Hockey Ops.

I need to see playoff Jack soon. I expect a level of play we haven't seen from a Sabre since Hasek.

Our skill guys aren't "tough" enough and any "tough" guys we have aren't skilled enough. We have too few of both. Goaltending needs a better bridge to KK. That's it. That's the plan. The reason we're here is because Reinhart, while a good player, is not franchise altering. That season was just the worst to be bad. And we passed on Leon, the best player in that draft. The Middlestat pick has been a bust. Nylander was a bust. And we trade ROR for Tage Thompson. Awesome. Basically sucking for 7 years got us Dahlin and Jack. I guess Cozens will be good? The organization needs a rebuild. I see no signs in the last 3 years anything has improved from development to the big club to the coach to management. Clean house. Maybe you make Ralph GM. Idk.

I'm officially convinced J-Bott should not be doing anything with this roster. No moves at the trade deadline unless it's a pending UFA. He's not going to have a job here next season. Why let him do anything. And maybe that's why so little has changed.

If you run a team and think outside of the obvious (McDavid, Eichel, etc) are untradeable, you shouldn't be running a team. It always depends on the return. I'm not against the idea. The return should be a better defenseman to replace Risto who will get us a forward. In theory....
