Ya but we are only 1 point out of the playoffs. Forget the games in hand for the teams above and below us. And that were are plummeting like a meteor.

this team needs to aggressively sell at the deadline. JGP, CLutter, Bailey, Beau etc. He have to start re-tooling the system and the core of this group. Even Lee should be on the table. If Lou tries to buy, we'll likely fail AGAIN and it will set us even further back. The covid and early season road trip was the most bogus excuse for a below average group. Get rid of the weight above.
Pulock is a guy they should shop also.... Before the rest of the NHL Figures out the game has passed him by...
They need a new GM who can come in. Evaluate. start moving pieces. And draft. It’s time to rebuild/retool. Whatever you want to call it. But change is 100% needed. To many guys have been here wayyy to long. Everything else is just a waste of time.

How about some of the new guys aren’t that good? Those that the franchise invested in, haven’t advanced their own overall play. Those are your first round draft picks right there…

Crazy what I am about to say but I like Holmstrom. I think he plays a controlled game for his first taste of the NHL. Wish he would have scored last night on the one timer though.
The real issues on this team are contracts like Palmieri, Beauvillier, and Bailey at this point. Martin and Clutterbuck are simply taking up roster spots.

i don't dislike holmstrom but i just don't get all the hubbub hullabaloo about him
i agree on the others save for cal.....he is effective at what he does consistantly when he is glued together enough to take the ice
toying with the idea of heading your way with the family for valentine's day. i want to check out the saskatoon steaks fish and wild game place....not sure i can pull it off next month (hey stupid, why don't you cut the starbucks out and there's your cash!!).....if not then, hopefully mother's day
Holmstrom is already a better Bailey and makes $4M a year less.
Because he’s a 1st round pick and was doing all the un-sexy things that somebody has to do on an NHL team?

What GM invested in those guys? Will Lou ever be a part of the problem in your opinion?

I think Holmstrom is really a middle six player currently who is defensively responsible. It certainly is not the franchise changing pick some want but it was better than the no brainer picks in Tomasino and McMichael.
Have not been there yet. I would like to go there though.... lol.

i figure it would be a 3 bill meal for the 3 of us....kick in another buck/buck and a half for a room. maybe i'll start saving for mother's day, gives me 4 months. plus by then my tax refund should be deposited
agree with holmstrom thoughts, seems solid as does fasching. team needs some impact players like the ones palmieri and wally were supposed to be
on fasching, one thing i noticed last night is that when he passes the puck, very unlike anthony, he puts it in a spot where the player receiving the pass can do something with it, kinda like how the point guard in basketball ideally will put the ball where the guy he's passing it to wants it....i was impressed with fasching doing that several times last night

as much as i might think lane has made some errors in tactics, etc, i can't blame him at all for these guys all sucking at the same time

This has been the Isles problem the last few years. It is impossible to win when the entire forward group forgets how to score.
Normal occurance for this roster. Totally streaky.
We just don’t have any at forward.

I wish they*d just sit down, accept this team is going nowhere and make real plans for the future.

I don't see the isles paying someone more than Brazal, that's just me. Right, wrong or whatever. Don't see it. Remember Dobson will get a nice healthy raise soon. You would have to think he's getting more than Pelech, I would guess 7-8M

If they don’t then we might as well sell and relocate because this team will never win anything. We shall see

Here’s a trade proposal that is sure to take some heat. They all do.
There’s worse deals out there.
I was thinking about that exact swap last week when Mantha was getting scratched.
There’s worse deals out there.
So if that’s the result of being unleashed you must conclude there’s a serious dearth of offensive talent here.
It wasn’t the coach, it was the players.
