Drama queens out in full force again with their panic "trade everyone!" Nonsense as usual. Some people just aren't cut out for the rebuild, they want to be a middling team that never achieved anything.

50% of our fan base who wanted the rebuild has the actual patience for it. The other 50% who wanted the rebuild do not have the actual patience required. What a fun gang we are eh? haha

Basically, this season showed us we are close but need more work to be done. Nothing has changed... a pick from 10-15 is coming. Maybe we decide to sell again and slip to 8-10. That is possible as well.

It was nice seeing Lane Hutson do good things, but I couldn't care less to see Armia and Evans steal points for us.

And it seems Slaf, Dach, and Newhook never really woke up (just marginally improved from a nadir) so it was always fool's gold: no team can sustain success with one reliable line and a bunch of ephemeral performances.

Resilient group but a fragile group at the same time. Heineman and Guhle injuries has taken the wind out of their sail. Not entirely those injuries but you can see the timeline.

Shot totals are way too low. I was watching the game last night after the Ducks tied it 2-2 and the Habs were almost playing to hold the tie into overtime. The team confidence and momentum seems low

Not as good as the hot streak, not as bad as the current slump.

Side note though but Craig Button was unbearable to listen to tonight. I normally don't have a strong opinion on commentators either way but someone has to tell him the analyst/colour commentator is supposed to speak less than the play by play announcer. Mudryk, hardly responded once to Buttons one way pontification all night. I laughed my ass off when Button responded to Mudryk by saying, "I couldn't have said it better myself, Bryan," before going on to repeat what Mudryk had said in a slightly different way.

You nailed it, i almost fell off my couch laughing when the score was 2-0 and they were outplaying us badly from the beginning of the 2nd period and he states that we’re playing an almost perfect defensive game :facepalm: Then they score 2 goals within a 40 sec span ,switched it off,game over.

I honestly can't stand MSL. Terrible coach, terrible lines that make 0 sense, puts Newhook and Dach out with Laine, who's only effective when there's a speedy distributor (you know, like Evans). Would rather have useless Struble than a potential game changer like Mailloux, I just don't get it. Zero structure, run and gun with no pressure offense. I honestly hope he decides to quit

Dach needs to be moved ASAP. Newhook needs to go, trade Dvo at a high and trade Savard. This team will be bottom 8 by years end guaranteed

Said it before,he may become a good coach in the future but why the hell would anyone take a gamble on a rebuild with a rookie coach,almost guaranteed to take twice as long,beyond stupid and ridiculously unfair to any fan.:badidea::loony:

I respect Gallagher but this can't continue for 2 more seasons.


Two of the better veterans are UFA's...that's also a challenge

Hughes doesn’t like buyouts and seems to like reclamation projects that may or may not work out , time to put his big boy pants on but then again he too also is a ROOKIE GM. Thanks JG.

This will come down to the salary cap growth and what Gorton/Hughes feel they can do this summer. If they feel Gallagher's contract blocks them with cap space, they might buy him out. If they feel like they will not be adding someone that clutters the cap, Gallagher stays.

It's possible we might sign Ehlers and in this case, we might buy out Gallagher. That's kind of how I see it.

If Gallagher is bought out this summer, cap hits are as follows:
* $1.75M ($95.5M salary cap)
* $4.25M ($104M salary cap)
* $1.75M ($113.5M salary cap)
* $1.75M ($???M salary cap)

You could put Laine with prime Crosby and things aren't gonna improve for him right now. Every puck touch Laine has made over the last 6-8 games has been a turnover.

He shouldn’t be getting puck touches. A high IQ center that can move would get value out of him.
Crosby would work with Laine in my opinion
