Fans off season wish list

[sweetlou]

Five questions for the off season fans wish list.

1. Coach?

2. #2 center, how obtained?

3. Jeff Skinner resigned?

4. Risto back or traded?

5. Biggest UFA signing? 

[Huckleberry]

1. Gronborg , Epic beard guy.

2. Hayes as UFA, otherwise hope Mittelstadt beefs up.

3.Yes but no higher than 8 mill.

4.Risto can stay, unless Tampa wows you with an offer.   (which might happen if they lose out in first round to CBJ )

5.Hayes at 5 mill x 5

[Pimlach]

1. Coach - someone with experience, a strong nhl record, discipline.  The core players need discipline, inmates need to stop running the asylum 

2. #2 center - free agent or trade - do  not count only on draft  

3.  Sign him but be smart on out years 

4.  I’m split of Risto but if he brings a legit # 2 and more then consider a trade  

5.  Bigger and tougher forwards  

6  goaltending help or coach 

 

[Stoner]

Can I go off the grid? Let's shake up some of the sounds of the arena that have been ingrained in current players' brains and are automatically associated with losing. So a new anthem singer, new PA guy or gal and a new horn. Too soft, too morose, too, uh, horny. For starters. (The organist snark is also unacceptable. Closing Time when you allow an empty net goal with still over a minute left?) Just put a fresh coat of paint on the damn thing. Every little bit helps.

Get rid of the DJ, for the love of all things holy, get rid of the floss cam for kids, enough with the over pandering to the military (and I'm a veteran). I'm with PA, more classic stuff from the 90s before social media took over the world. 

The on ice performance will help, but not cure the 2019 atmosphere.

I didn't know you were a vet.

I wouldn't mind seeing the fans on the rope line gotten ridden of. If Risto is right, you can't ***** your teammate with little kids hanging around.

Should go to a Predators game. I am surprised they could finish the game with how much they pandered. I heard "Proud to be an American" in its entirety.

1) Gronberg

2) UFA

3) Yes, 8x7

4) Traded, he doesn't get how to play the defensive side of things

5) That 2nd line center. 

[WildCard]

1) DJ Smith, Keefe, Benoit Groulx

2) Trade Risto for one

3) 8x7.5

4) Trade his ass

5) Trade Risto for top end talent

6) Find a goalie coach

[GASabresIUFAN]

Wish List

1) Bruce Boudreau

2) Trade Risto for JT Miller - I don’t think Hayes or Duchene will sign with us.

3) Skinner - re-signing is a must.

4) Fix the Defense - Alex Martinez

5) Find an under the radar FA or 2 and have them actually work out. For example, maybe Wash trades us RFA Burakovsky for Nylander and Burakovsky takes off playing on Jack’s wing or opposite Reinhart.

Navy boy, only one stint, civilian life is better. 

I appreciate the fact that we appreciate our vets, my father was in Vietnam and he came home to a much different situation. But the veteran stuff in sports is nauseating, @LGR4GMI don't know if i could do it man, the whole song?!

I think it is great to acknowledge our service men and women. When it is natural and genuine it is great. When it is this forced worship, just feels off to me. My father was in the Navy for years, he actually dislikes people thanking him for his service. Says they don't know what he did and he was just doing a job. 

Yes, all 2 minutes of it, they started it and had the guy stand. They then talked about his service record, made mention of his family, thanked him a couple of times. It was just odd. 

[WildCard]

Surprised you're not used to that Liger. When I went to the UGA game they played the anthem, two other patriotic songs randomly during a tv timeout, the halftime show had it's own flare, and they went around the stadium and called out every single branch with a special ceremony

How was your trip to Athens? You get any good beer? Any good bars or stories?

I'm a veteran and so sick of "thank you for your service" and putting the hero label on every Tom,Dick and Harry who ever was or is in the service. Save it for the fireman, rescue worked who saved your life. My son is in law enforcement and is more threatened than I was.

It might have been Military Appreciation night or something in retrospect

Athens is amazing. Nothing too crazy but man everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere is incredible. Never seen full living rooms brought out to tailgate before. One t-shirt shop gave out free mimosas and bloody mary's, and let us drink our own drinks inside. Made a UGA fan out of me for sure

We're doing another NCAAF game this year. Nothing beats that atmosphere, and having it on a Saturday is so much better than a Sunday. Thinking either Clemson or Notre Dame

Never been to Notre Dame but have been to Clemson. Clemson is fun and a really loud stadium. The town itself is a little small but good times. 

Yea, Athens is a good time. Hope you went DT after the game. If you ever can go back, go for a rivalry game like Tennessee or Auburn.

I agree with this I am also a one term Navy boy. Enjoyed it and hated it happier on the civilian side of things. When I go to events I am just a fan and don’t want any attention just want to enjoy the game. 

 

1. Gordon’s fisherman

2. UFA Duchene 

3. Absolutely 8x8 most important 

4. Trade him for some goal scoring winger. It’ll also help our D numbers with addition by subtraction. 

5. Duchene 

[thewookie1]

1. A guy with head coaching experience in professional hockey

2. Trade Risto for one

3. Yes 7/8 years for about 8 mil

4. Trade for 2C but not in the Conference. If he finds himself he’ll be a great dman.

5. Banish Sobotka to Grand Island and tell him he can’t leave it until his contract is up.

He is staying in Minnesota.

My kid loved the DJ.  He didn't care about the floss cam.  I actually don't mind the DJ because there's at least something going on between periods.

Different strokes...

Im a retired Marine, I wouldnt mind if they stopped the anthems before everygame. Save it for something special. To me hearing it at every sporting event waters down the value of it. 

[Andrew Amerk]

Since it’s a only a wish-list...

1. Coach? - Scotty Bowman in his prime, with a young Don Cherry as an assistant

2. #2 center, how obtained? - We trade away Bogo, Scandella, Sobotka, Larsson, and Okposo to EDM for Connor McJesus

3. Jeff Skinner resigned? - Yes, 6 x 7

4. Risto back or traded? - Traded to TBL for Point and Hedman 

5. Biggest UFA signing? - Bobrovsky
