True, if they can Sweeney that would be the silver lining to a season they miss the playoffs, ideally though DS can swing some deals soon enough to turn this team around.
Agree I don't want top picks traded for band-aid solutions.

If they pulled a Washington, that would be nice. Sell off some players and retool. Is Sweeney the man for that. Probably not because most of these guys are his. Poor Charlie has some thinking to do.
Sweeney already did it once if you recall. It was literally his first year as GM. And he wanted to go further with it, but ownership wouldn’t let him.

All you guys going after each other because you are passionate, yet our jellyfish players are home eating leftovers and eating custard pie waiting for the banks to open Monday to cash their paychecks.
Pasta has his next clown outfit already laying out on his bed and the cameraman ready.

Seems like the fans arguing amongst themselves along with management. What a clusterfluck.
They better figure out that teamwork wins, nothing else.

Yeah and it worked out great!
I mean yeah. All the firsts didn’t really work out. Which is kind of the norm and why you see so many teams be Buffalo. Which is why you really want to avoid it as long as you can. Which is why with Pasta at 28, McAvoy and Swayman at 26…you don’t go crazy. Move Carlo for a forward? Great. Deal Frederic? Have at it! Pasta, McAvoy, Swayman? You will lose the deal.

I think there won't be any changes before Holiday Roster Freeze. If, by december 29th they are something like 0.570 ~ 0.580 I believe they would try to get some help, otherwise they could very well stand pat making changes in the offseason. In that case, I could see they firing Sweeney and maybe Cam.
Harry Sinden was here a lot longer, and he never won anything, but he did what Jacobs wanted, that is all that matters.

Apparently the Canucks asked for Zadorov back with retention.

I remember when MOC dealt Samsonov away and then brought back Mariusz Czerkawski to help provide scoring.Apparently the Canucks asked for Zadorov back with retention.
Instead of a trade, (not that I am against one ) the obvious answer seems to be fixing the PP.
Most PP opportunity in league, 2d lowest success.
Even if we were ranked in the middle, that would make a huge difference.
Fire whoever is in charge, bring in an outsider with new ideas cuz this same old crap ain't working

I know this FO plays things safe but I'm genuinely surprised Poitras + Lysell haven't been called up yet.
I also wonder how much say Sacco has vs. Sweeney for lineup changes. Im guessing it's a different dynamic than Monty who had the option to get hired elsewhere.
Another thing to note: Sacco's Jack Adams nominated season he succeeded with an an extremely young Colorado lineup. His top scorers were:
Statsny (23), Duchene (18), Stewart (21), Wolski (23), Hejduk (33), Galiardi (21), O'Reilly (18), Mueller (21).
It's a different league now, but I still thought that was interesting.
Ether way, it's Don Sweeney who holds the cards. I'm very curious how how he'll handle things before the roster freeze.

I am sympathetic to the “let’s get things sorted before adding kids to the mix” and sympathetic to “you don’t want to put kids in a position where they are supposed to be a savior” … but man… they sure could use the injection.
