Count down ...
I'm hoping for something...this team has 0 secoundary scoring. It's so hard to watch right now.
Whats the consensus on what Columbus does with Bob and Panarin?
1) Trade before xmas
2) Hold until the deadline
3) Sign one or both?

And yet they are still on a 105 point pace. Hopefully the Krug bashing will end because he’s a facilitator and helps all the lines score, even if he is poor on D
As for trades, go Anders Lee big or go home. Not interested in lateral moves
Many forget how important Krug is to this team and its offense. He is good for 50+ points a season. That's 50 goals scored. I'm all in on Lee as well. That's the type of player I would target.

Didn’t the Isles just name him captain? That won’t sit well with their fans if he follows Tavares out the door especially since they’re moving to a new arena
Lees a player, big strong and can score. He's one hell of an athlete on top of that.Being named 2008 Minnesota Gatorade Football player of the year and the following year was runner-up too Nick Leddy for Mr.Hockey in the state of Minnesota.

Any word on whether Backes is getting moved to LTIR? That'd be some serious cap space for us to go out and get a top 6 RW/3C.
I liked Lauzon's game when he was up here, kept it simple and played with a little edge. Small sample size but you'd have to think something has gotta give with all these dman once we're all healthy.
Our 3rd and 4th lines are atrocious right now.
Can’t you do anything but shoot down proposals? Can’t you provide your own?There is no benefit to putting Backes on LTIR until they spend to the cap first. To get the most financial benefit to LTIR you have to be as close to the cap as possible.
Example:
Think back to last season when they put Adam McQuaid on LTIR. They called up Zachary Senyshyn putting them just a few dollars under the cap, placed McQuaid on LTIR and then sent Senyshyn back down. That gave them the most flexibility with the cap and LTIR.
There is no point to placing him on LTIR right now.
He does it all the time. Put him on ignore like the rest of us do.Can’t you do anything but shoot down proposals? Can’t you provide your own?![]()

Here's a good visual look at how effective the bruins actually are at even strength
Accari for Kassian 1/2 retained
At some point we need a policeman on this team.

Would be a bit redundant with Anders Bjork. Either player would produce with Marchy/Bergy and wouldn't with Nordstrom/Wagner.Jesse Puljujärvi
what's his deal anyway? has tools that coaches & fans love...size & skill, 4th overall pick, but simply not producing. I realize he's super young still. what's holding him back? skating? simply lack of experience?Jesse Puljujärvi
I 100% believe you but just curious as to how exactly that works? Why would the cap space be any different if we were at/near the ceiling or 3-4 million under? Does LTIR space only come into effect if you're like 97-99% of the cap or something?There is no benefit to putting Backes on LTIR until they spend to the cap first.
