Have you heard Chiarelli say that he really likes trading superstars? Have you heard Nill say that he can't draft?

Our minor league affiliate has had like 3 players on it. For years now.

So, on what basis do you come to the conclusion that Gorton assumes his players will never get injured and that everything will go perfectly?

How many teams do you believe have more than 3 legitimate prospects at their highest Minor league level?

You toss out these statements about Gorton like you have some evidence to back it up. I am curious as to what the evidence is.

You make him sound like he's a nitwit with a propeller-topped beanie.

That's you reading it that way. Every GM has weaknesses just like every player does.

The evidence is that our depth beyond the 12 forwards we need has generally been horrendous since he's taken over and spots are often just penciled in before camp.

Last year we let Howden get absolutely caved because who else was there to play center? Nobody.

And again, this year, one of our guys will just become 2C with no competition and lo and behold, none of them did.

For a long time, it also feels like first Slats and then Gorton have had a big impact on who plays and when. Take Emerson Etem for example. Why did he play as many games for us as he did? He was not even close, and playing him did a lot of damage to us on the ice. Gorton gets someone, then the coach have to use them when its pretty obvious that they don't belong. And its an extension of our incompetent pro-scouting...

Lol

Emerson Etem sucked but he only played 19 games here. Highly doubt he managed any kind of effect on the ice, let alone a damaging one.

7x7 sucks. He isnt worth that. Let the season play out and see what happens, we arent supposed to make the playoffs at this point so if we do it would be a huge accomplishment. I still feel Morgan Barron is our #2 C of the future.

Yet we signed Trouba for 8.
I'm not saying that Hayes is worth the 7, but I don't think Trouba is worth any where near 8. I hope he proves me wrong, but I don't think so.

Not sure how anyone could have Howden over Lias at this point.

Sticklers for alphabetical order.

Sticklers for alphabetical order.

I honestly don't even think it's a good idea for Howdy to be on the fourth line.

It's not like Lias on the fourth line. Lias brings more in that type of role, but I always thought of Howdy as a guy whom could grow nicely into that 3C. Though, if he never reaches that and maxes out as a GREAT future 4C... Well, that is also invaluable, a solid 4C who grows up with the entire team. Invaluable. And I would take that.

Just don't like it RIGHT NOW for his development as he's still young and a wildcard.

Amusing how many fans "know" that coaches stink. No matter the coach, many will say he's an idiot. If only a fan could run things from his recliner.

I just call things the way I see them, good or bad..

You however, haven't addressed a single thing in my post soo how about we just question some of the obvious and why certain moves are being made without the slightest bit of thought put into them?

For instance..
Why does it take until after pre-season to get your 3rd and 4th lines together?

Chytil, Kravtsov..Why are players being asked to step up and "OWN" certain positions all while being forced into playing completely different roles than what the job calls for?
I'd call that f***ing idiotic to say the least..

If we're being honest, maybe Chytil, Kravtsov should start off in the minors but at the very least, they should've been put into a position to fight for the job they're gunning for, win or lose.
Instead..Let's just put him them in a completely different position along with every single line mate except the one's that they're supposed to be playing with, sit back and just watch them fail..Should do wonders for these kid's confidence

I didn't see Howden get that same treatment and he hasn't proven shit.

Smith..Who's only worth is on the 4th line as a FWD instead of as a $4M+D.
Why is he on this roster??
The "rationalizing, would've, could've should've" should be good on this one.

The only difference between my recliner and yours is that I'm drinking a beer and you're drinking Kool Aid lol

I don't mean to come off harsh but I just can't wrap my head around certain decision making when it comes to management, coaching when it defies common sense..

It’s regular season week, baby.
