Expand He was injured when we dealt for him. He was playing hurt while with Ottawa, so we got a damaged player for a healthy player. It wouldn't be surprising if he finishes the season in the suite recuperating from a previous injury. The GM who contributed to digging this franchise is expected by the owner to be the person to dig us out. Anyone confident that he will accomplish that? 1 Quote

Another cripple made of glass. Expand 3/9 games he's played (counting tonight). If he was hurt when they traded for him, coupled with his already concerning injury history, that's just more gross incompetence by Adams. No serious hockey organization would move forward with a GM with KA's track record. I fear we will and we will see little action to improve the team this summer. We're stuck on a hamster wheel. Quote

mjd1001 Posted Wednesday at 01:07 PM Report Posted Wednesday at 01:07 PM Bernard-Docker has some points early and that is good...but I still need to see a lot more from him. I am rooting for him to be good of course, but when I watch him play, I don't really see anything yet other than a 3rd pair/7th guy. Still happy with the trade overall. I think the team needed to move on from Cozens....and Norris? If he has something lingering shut him down. Get him as healthy as he has been in years even if that means we don't see much of him until next season. 1 Quote
