I don't think it's very hard to fault them.It’s less than ideal. Assistant coaches usually handle special teams while head coaches focus on 5on5 play. Hard to fault them for not making the change earlier, the success they have had was dependent on 5on5 play.
If Crawford is taking over 5-on-5 and preparation doesn't that mean that we will be playing his system or style instead? Also doesn't it somewhat imply that Crawford is the head coach and Boucher got demoted to working the special teams?
EK is the best offensive defenceman in the league but if you want to bring down the cost for him, I think they will have to focus on his defensive liabilities. Of course, they will need to be very careful not to pursue that to aggressively & not piss him off too much. What is more important to EK, winning a cup, staying in Ottawa or signing a contract that will set his family up financially for the rest of their lives?
It will be a very fine line to get him to sign for under $12 mil IMO but you never know exactly what he might want or what it will take for him to stay. We also don't know what EM's final number is or how much he will be willing to pay & whether he will meet EK's demands. Let's not forget that he would not meet Alfredsson's demands & he left. Hard to know what will happen & what is the best course of action for this franchise too, maybe not re-signing him is better overall, who knows?
Alfredsson and EK are tied to one another. Melnyks terrible relationship with Alfie sealed Karlssons fate. Bottom line is we need a new owner. It's going to get worse before it gets better. We're not at rock bottom yet but were close.Alfredsson was done. His time in Detroit proved that. The Karlsson situation is different but EM’s budget could be an issue and cause a trade. I hope not but given EM’s comments, it’s 50/50 in my mind that Karlsson May be traded.

do you make this stuff up as you go along?
Ok. ...let's play....if they are tied together and Daniel lives in Ottawa then where will Erik choose to live if Erik has a choice?

Karlsson has already said he will continue to live in Ottawa even if his career takes him elsewhere. Having said that, he being very close friends with Alfredsson doesn't mean he has to live near the guy and would choose where he plays based on where Alfredsson's home is.
Really not sure where you're going with this...
you're on here making stuff up all the time and posting inappropriate crap. your bipolar comment was completely ridiculous and showed your character.I dont make anything up just reiterate strait from the horses mouth. If it upsets you dont comment.
it'd be hard to top last year's performanceBig question, do we have more or less too many men penalties next season?
it was in response to the two of them being tied together. ... it was just a nonsense post. so if they are indeed tied together wouldn't Erik wish to stay by his master's side?
