With 3 weeks to go before the tdl I can’t imagine cbs does anything massive aside from moving ufa to be Jack Rosolvic.
Let a new gm decide. Going to be interesting to see the ownership view of the team.

Oh JD can continue to make it a bigger mess. Wouldn't shock me at all to him make other moves. Guy seems to be made of teflon.
Sure that's open for speculation as the situation in the NBA and NFL was also different in the past and changed.
It will be very interesting to watch and guys in the past who were the face of their franchises like Modano and Sundin moved so it could happen with Crosby.
Maybe it's me but he is just a guy who can score in the right situation but like Kuzmenkos doesn't really seems as good as his scoring.
Sure but we all know how good the Oilers are defensively so that 3 game spurt also looks out of place for his playoff career.

so did they fire jarmo so davidson could make tdl moves or so jarmo would not? seems like they could have left jarmo in position and tied his hands unless they want moves, so i think they are going to let davidson release the hounds.
davidson's phone is going to be melting.

Davidson was already heavily involved in hockey decisions so...yeah. Basically making it so Jarmo doesn't have to feel like he needs to save his job. Who knows how Davidson actually approaches the deadline, though.
I thought he did pretty well last year in the playoffs given that he wasn’t 100%.
I’m not saying Faber not signing affected his trade value but it could explain their willingness to move him.
Ya. Unless the player expressed that he had no interest in playing for the team at the draft. Outside of the Harvard guys, I am surprised at drafted prospects not signing with LA or Philly though.
Sid seems like the "sink with the ship" kind of guy (like the Henrik and Daniel) so I think he either retires or signs 1 year deals to continue playing.
If he was asked to waive is NTC though...I wonder if Dubas or ownership would have the guts to ask Sid/Malkin/Letang to do that

I get the sense that Pitt only moves Sid if he asks out. They don't seem like they would ask him to waive.
If he wants to stay they try to win with him, vs think about a rebuild.

The weirdest thing about the Jarmo firing is the timing..sounds like they didnt want him making TDL deals..11 years in the league, he's had a lot of talented players (many slipped through his fingers).
No matter where you pick in the draft, it is always subject to chance.
Sure take your top rated player but Columbus is amongst the ranks of the Sabres, who horde redundant prospect assets.
This is often the antithesis of maximizing team construction to build a winner.
Kevyn Adams will probably be the next to go.

After a thorough search I've decided the best solution right now is for me to assume the GM role on a permanent basis - JD
Chicago has lost Hayes, a 1st rounder to the NCAA UFA. As well as Sweatt. But, you just don't expect the likes of NYR, Bos, Chi, Phi, to have players not want to play there.
Same would go for the nice weather places like LA, SJ, Ana, TB, and now LV. Thrun, a Dman from Ana, opted to go sign with SJ instead.
Cal and Car both had to move Fox when he made it clear he wouldn't sign with them. So, once teams get wind of that, they cut their loses and maximum what they can get. Not pulling a Burkie with Umberger or being naive like Nashville was with Vesey. Make the call early rather than hope they sign.

Same likewise. The should be a solid, enthusiastic hockey market… but they’ve been plagued by bad luck and inept management since day one
Over the years, when it comes to the TDL, Rutherford has struck 'early' rather than 'often'.
And reviewing how some of the new players are playing in their current environments, I can understand it. Lindholm and Kuzmenko got off to a good start with their new teams, but have been basically meh ever since.
Meantime Monahan is on the third line in Winnipeg, and has done virtually nothing since his arrival from the Habs. I guess they're expecting that once he gets acclimatized, his play will ramp up.
The fact is that it's tough for some players to transition to a new team and a new system after March 8th, when there's basically only a month left in the season. Seems to me that a lot of these TDL acquisitions fail to live up to expectations with the teams that acquired them. And they flushed valuable assets in form of picks or prospects to acquire them.
Brian Burke used to say that GM's make their worst mistakes at the TDL and on July 1st, UFA Day. And I believe it. On the other hand, if the guy you're acquiring comes in early like Lindholm and Zadorov, and get 35-40 games under their belts, it seems to make a world of difference.
So a lot of guys will probably end up moving at the March 8th deadline. But few of them will end up having much impact, if history is any guide.

I don't know what's worse: The Habs getting slaughtered again with another 7 goal night or that the Ducks couldn't even score on them?
