:laugh: You're probably right

Thing is, I think a discussion could and should be had about replacing some of what we hoped Lucic would have provided to the roster. That's a fair perspective whatever side you see it from.

But when I (me) don't feel comfortable weighing in because I know where it will lead, something needs to change.

Fifteen wins. One regulation loss. You'd think we'd be at least a little happy about it. That we'd understand that roster arguments are kind of on the peripheral considering we're not attempting to cure an overall ailment.

We have a roster of players that play hard for each other. We're in every single game. And we have a coach with the courage to let the kids play and who will allow himself to show his emotions when it's appropriate. We have almost everything we clamour for and fan bases of other teams are jealous of.

Yet for some reason some are so mad that we feel the need to attack each other as though we cheer for different teams.

Boston needs to add a physical D-man and a Physical forward before the playoffs . They need to move a forward and a D-man in theses trades. I am quite comfortable in moving any d-man but 73, 25, 27 or Obviously not #6. 48 would be my first choice , but if it is 12 great . For PK reasons 28 would be my lest favorite of the 3 to move. For forwards any of the fourth line for another fourth liner with a bit more snarl works for me

Really like Middelton as a target if the Wild continue to slide. Don't think Crouse will end up being available though, the yotes are finally starting to look competent and I think they'll want to start hanging on to their pieces.

So we are locked in the rest of the year with Shattenkirk at 6, and Mitchell/Wotherspoon as #7/8. and of course locking in Lohrei in a top 4 role for the rest of the year. Canr give up 2 dmen for 1

I get that, but all I heard was how do you replace Bergeys face off lost ,I think although not Bergey, Beecher has done a pretty good job, and as been very good the PK. Beecher also gives you center depth protection. Lauko is high energy and certainly has not hurt you out there . I am not opposed to moving them if the return is of value. I do agree with what you are saying what they need to get a physical forward or D-man.

Especially to “add a physical forward”

Move two physical players to add toughness.

It would be such terrible management for them to move a really good young player who they have locked in through his prime years at less than 5 mil. It’s a great contract and he is a really good player. I mean it’s possible to pry him away. But not for two older defenders. Maybe if it was a really good top pairing defender. Doug Armstrong is managing that team now. There won’t be any trades that will make their team worse imo.

They are also 2 points out of a wild card spot with two games in hand.
