What tool does Hamilton not have? Honest question.
Everything is there IMO. Skating, passing, shot, vision, sense, size etc. People are stupid though. Even those in charge of running certain franchises unfortunately.

Enlighten me: What's Hossa have to do with this? Even IF a pick is in the late twenty's it depends on who is doing the drafting. If it were for this years draft I'd take it and run. Grab as many picks for this year as we can and pick wisely. Jumping the gun here though since I doubt that this would even take place (this year anyway).

Its funny to argue over a made up trade but EVERYTHING. Hossa has everything to do with it. He's signed for like 6 more years at a 5.3 million dollar hit. Charas cap hit goes down to 4 million in a couple. Hossas deal will be crippling. He would help balance the trade out for Chicago. Chara isn't worth the first, he's worth the first and a horrible contract. The horrible contract is the part that balances it out and although hossa is a good player, what about in 3-4 years time?
Dougie is in his second year.
SECOND YEAR.
second-year.
Really don't know how many times I can say it (nicely). He's 21 years old. If you don't think he's going to be a good one, I don't know what to tell you.

what are you going to get for that pile of dead batteries and burnt out light bulbs?
Clode will have none of this. We need more grinders. Dump and Chase for life.

I don't think this team will have enough to bring back Soderberg. Hopefully we keep Koko and insert him in Soderberg's spot. Have some new revamped 3rd line.

And this...
Ty Rattie? Right handed goal scorer, goes to the net, isn't getting a shot on the Blues 3rd line with Stastny when they badly need a scorer to play with him...
Though he followed up with this:
Sounds like guys that wouldn't even factor into the NHL roster even for a brief call up.

Physicality. It's a gigantic red flag when a guy his size plays like a complete pansy.
This is sooo right-on the money that's it's scary. You hit the nail on the head, I think many of us here have been thinking this but were hoping that they can get together and make great decisions when it comes to the important ones. Just because Chia said that he wanted the team to get faster does that mean that Clode is going to just do it? Chia's given Clode all of the power to decide on team strategy and philosophy and he can't just change course overnight especially with CJ who doesn't appear to care for the faster players. He'd need to can him and find a coach who can transition the team to a new methodology. The thing is that the players they have seem for the most part to be in no mans land. They don't look to all be on the same page, and some aren't even sure what to do out there. It seems like the only way to implement any change is to clear out as much of the deadwood as possible without losing too much of the leadership. Is there such a thing as a fast/heavy team? PC doesn't seem to have a clue as to the next step, he's so confused about the cap and the way he overpaid players that don't hold much value outside the organization that he's in a state of limbo. "Evaluating" is the word that he/we use but actually he looks to be stuck with no answers. I don't know, did he really think that other teams were going to break down the doors looking to acquire the likes of Soupy, Marchy, Kelly etc? He's really gotten himself and the Bruin's into a dilemma. If he sells off whatever he can, can he rely on his scouts to rebuild the team? Can Clode J. evolve his system into a disparate one that is unique enough to compete? Peter placed too much trust into the players, and Clode's hands and now the results are muddled. He believed in Clode to the nth degree and now he's seeing that his system has huge cracks, that Clode is human and even with a few additions he too also may be out of answers.
Third year, but I do agree with you. I think at this point he needs to get mean and not worry so much about the offensive side of the puck. He needs to settle down and stay at home, let the likes of Torey etc. think about offense. Back to basics. D'men generally don't peak until their mid to late twenty's so I think that we all need to turn a blind eye to the occasional bad game from him.
Hmmm, I wonder. It may not even be with the B's... so

Coming from the guy named "David Krejci" I expected a bit more understanding of guys who play with finesse.

Your standards must be high if you think Dougie has at any point played like a pansy
