Drury’s job is to continue trying to improve the roster. Kreider, Smith and Lindgren are on the list next. Just keep going

I don't doubt he's been trying to move all of those guys and listening to offers on more. We see their decline in real time and know how guys like Lindgren/Zib/Kreider play now, but so does everyone else around the league. It's not a well-kept secret that these other GMs aren't keen to.

If nothing else, Drury seems to be active in working to change the DNA of this team. It's going to be incremental and I'm sure will feel very frustrating seeing valuable players go to other teams, but the changes have been coming pretty steadily. As long as there's a focal point that Drury is working toward, we just have to wait and see what he's able to make happen.

Imagine trying to spin Lindgren in a good light?

Drury: Someone he played with like 9 years ago said he was a good leader.
Other GM: Okay, but what can he bring to our team today?
Drury: He's a pleasure to have in video review class.

Alright, next on the list now that we secured JT, a top-4 LHD. That's probably going to be one of the hardest things for Drury to find especially if he's looking for a type of specific LD.

The hardest thing he’s going to have to do is everything, because he’s a f***ing garbage GM. The second is getting rid of Zibanejad.

Kek, imagine worrying about this seasons results. This team isn’t making the playoffs. They need to salvage as much value out of this roster as they can.

Bro, it’s over, this team isn’t winning shit. Give it up. Mika is cooked. Kreider is cooked. Panarin isn’t what he was. Trocheck looks like a 3 rd line center at best.

Literally anyone, but since you probably want names, Berard and Jones. Haha

I would trade for Maata though on D.

Getting better for tomorrow isn't always having the best player today. You can start now and be better by the end of this season.

Get rid of these guys that aren't useful in the game and won't be here long term anyways. We know what we are getting with them. Losses.

Through 50 games DJ Meeka is MINUS 25.He is very close to leading the entire NHL in this category. So keep giving the turnover machine big minutes.

Right, unless they fluke into another 2023-24, it’s hard to see the light. They shed a bad contract and then proceeded to light the money on fire along with shedding future assets. They should be shedding old contracts and adding draft capital, they’re doing the opposite. It’s shades of late 90s, early 2000s, hard to watch this slow sinking ship.

People talk about draft picks like they did during the dark ages which you also brought up. And yet starting from the rookie season our top 2 draft picks have been shit on all the way and no one was giving them any leeway for being young. When we had our draft picks with growing pains we shit on them. Frankly the only time curiously we stopped shitting on Kakko was after he was traded. We love our young players the most after they're traded. So I don't really get the bellyaching about draft picks on this board where we have proven to be a fanbase who has no patience with young players.

who was asking why all the kids talk hockey on Reddit instead of message boards these days? I think we've found our answer, because I'm assuming Reddit doesn't completely shit itself over JT Miller...

That was me. I do wonder if reddit is as negative as HF. But at the same time if reddit is like social media it's far worse. The other day I saw someone complain that we traded Mancini over Fox. People in Social Media are basically the "shooooooot" people at the garden. All they care is about size and toughness, nothing else matters.

Mika is cooked. No saving him. Miller found out the very first shift with him when he dumped it expecting Mika to chase ahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Yeah but that means he has Lindgren too.

There in lies the issue. They've moved around a bunch of parts and the only one that they really needed to move was Trouba.

Lindgren is the worst skater on the team and was last year too.

HE STILL EXSITS.

The thing is being upsetting about not trading Lindgren is one thing but being upset at this deal for not trading Lindgren is another. What if the Canucks didn't want him? Any smart GM would prefer Mancini's promise over Lindgren.

:) i was actually talking about the fact that this site is basically non-functioning as soon as any kind of hockey news occurs where as I doubt Reddit has that problem; but yeah, it's entirely possible that they don't react the way we do as well!

Thats fine. But again, I’m living in reality. When your top money guys are exiting their primes you are not selling pieces off for shitty 2nd round picks
