With a win against us Vancouver jumps over Tampa, who's now 16th and tied with Calgary and Columbus still.
Utah and Pittsburgh went to OT and Pittsburgh won with an assist from our old boy Glass, both teams now have a 7 pt cushion on us.

Glass looked pretty good when I was watching. Skating fast, moving with the puck, stick to stick passes...

It's a good thing we got rid of him to keep Fabbro and Carrier.

I dont regret trading glass. What we did with his capspace though is another story. 3.75M for Carrier, 2.5M for Fabbro, and 2.5M for Glass is alot of capspace.

Carrier + Glass + a 3rd and 6th for $6 mil in cap and Barron is fine. Of course having those guys with that much cap in the first place was stupid.

The Fabbro story is a whole different post

Fabbro is a coaching decision which drives me insane. I dont think ill ever understand it outside of Fabbro just isnt defensively irresponsible enough to play this system.

I mean we often saw that side of Glass here too. The problem was he couldn't consistently keep that level of play or would get hurt once he actually was playing well.

There are posters here that don't regret dumping all 3 of them.

But the point was the gestalt of it all. Our centers have been a huge weakness all year. Novak and Sissons both failed. ROR took a few steps backwards from last year. We've been forced to move Stamkos to 1C and anti-overcook Svech (which usually bites us in the chaps)... And we paid all three of these guys contracts that seemingly soured before the ink was dry. Brilliant. And the coach didn't want to play 2 of them on top of that. Carrier was the exception, but when we got the chance to trade Carrier for a long necked guy who's still figuring out which end of the hockey stick to hold, we did that faster than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.

I would love Boqvist. He'd fit right in with Bruno's system. 0 defense and a ton of offense. And he can actually skate

Where is the GD GDT?

We're probably pretty high up in the waiver order so you might get your wish!

Utah not getting to use Yeti as their logo because of the cooler company kinda sucks. They’ve added Outlaws to their potential names. If they actually go with Outlaws I may end up jumping ship with the soccer guy from Atlanta and get on the Utah wagon.
