Hi, I'm mat.
Deboer needs to go. Lou should stay we need a coach that has a temper when things go bad
Common misconception about Pete. We have no idea what he's like in the room.
He must be a dick if so many rookies hate him

ill say for one thing though, I hope this coming years draft will be forward heavy, if not full.
Boucher is still a question mark, Kujawinski is a questionable choice, Bell is the definition of boom or bust and everything else is meh
offensive retool HAS to be the focus in my opinion
So big question - we have one amnesty buyout left - do you use it on Volchenkov, like everyone has said, or, if Lou retires after this season, does the new GM decided to correct Lou's mistake and buys out Clowe instead?

hmmn Lou signed Tallinder in 2010 and Larsson was drafted in 2011, how did Lou know a year ahead of time we'd be drafting Larsson
Yep. Defense is in good shape. Lou is gonna throw the kitchen sink to keep Cory so we have stability in net. Time to stock up the forward corps.
For a team that has to rebuild ( or so do people say ) we already have 2/3rds of that rebuild covered.
pretty sure you can only use amnesty buyouts on guys signed before the lockout.
If we could somehow get a top line center, I'd amnesty Zajac. But right now, we have to keep him.
We've had a bunch of 'goalies of the future' the last ten years...why would anyone trade Cory to make room for someone that's never played an NHL game and getting back more futures for him? When you have someone that can be an elite-level guy for a decade you don't even look at anyone else.

Wouldn't Wedgewood be ready by 2014-2015? That's why I'm not sold on the Corey is our franchise guy at this point, given the state of the team. If you can turn him into two quality players (preferably one young forward) then you do it.
But when you have so many holes, why do you need a goalie like this coming into his major payday?

the reason you arent convinced that Cory is a franchise player is because Scott Wedgewood will be ready next year?
really dont know how to respond
I'm saying that this is probably a 2-3 year rebuild and I'm not sure that keeping Corey Schneider is a priority given his age and potential pay. You try to fill other glaring holes.

we filled a glaring hole by acquiring Cory. imagine this year rolling Marty and Moose again? and sure, Wedgewood will be ready but will he ever be as good as Schneider?
Lou made intentions clear when he moved a top-10 pick in a deep draft for Cory
