good effort, but we just lost 2 games on depth....i think our window is closed
bieksa, stoner, and despres are killing us.....I know that is news to NO ONE, but if you could wave a magic wand and have those 3 players gone, not only do we have lindholm signed but our D and cap is in a better spot.Just about. This current roster isn't even capable of making the playoffs. Sign Lindholm, being in a healthy Rakell and trade Fowler or Vatanen for a solid LW and make a run for it this year, but even then it's the weakest roster we've brought into the playoffs since 2013 and it's only downhill from here.
Of course it isnt. There is an entire offseason of moves that went unmade.
Wagner and Boll both under 7 mins
kesler/silf/ritchie/perry/getzlaf all near 20 mins
better fix this quick bob and randy
We need a 4th line that can play real minutes. Everyone else is gassed already.
40+ shots allowed, and they didn't even have Crosby. Save us Hampus.
I actually thought they were pretty productive. When your tossed into the middle of shifts on back checks like they are, it's going to be tough. Boll drew a penalty and they had some good O zone time.

You're confusing Leafs being one of the worst teams with Pens just being better. That distinction is important.C'mon you knew this was going to happen.
Its time to move on from the Fowler era. Dude is not a winner. He sometimes makes a spectacular individual play, but rarely does his presence on ice make the team better. If we can get an elite forward prospect for him after Lindholm is signed, do it Bob.

I feel like this is an odd takeaway from this game. He was far from the problem tonight. Have you been listening to Winnipeg or New York fans?
Are we expecting Lindholm to carry everyone on the blue line? Why don't they have any responsibility? Vatanen is making more than Fowler now, and he was decidedly worse. Bieksa is still ****. Despres simply isn't healthy. Manson was disappointing. Fowler ****ed up on the first goal against Dallas, but how is this loss a sign that it's time to move on?
And despite missing Rakell and Lindholm, the game was still ultimately decided by one goal.
You do see the problem with your post, don't you? If he's not the type of player who makes the team better, then we won't be getting an elite prospect for him.
It's so stupid having a 4th line that doesn't see the ice. Carlyle is leaning on guys like it's the playoffs and you can't do that. The other team will have more jump.
