At least lee contributes on occasion.
nothing wrong with either, i was saying that he panicked and had to quickly get those done. in comparison, he didn't do anything in 2020 until it was around october, because he was too reluctant to try and find a fair deal for Toews, and we were stuck trying to find a way to shed Leddy/Komarov/etc. unfortunate circumstances.
Agreed if you’re championing sports betting, to which the league probably receives some form of payment, then injury disclosure is a must. That’s the reason football is so forthcoming with this information .
What the heck does Varlamov have to do with Panarin? Varlamov happened because we needed a starting goaltender. We were going to pay someone, and it was either going to be Lehner or him. The Sorokin connection should also be noted.
IB is a joke. Remember when he was convinced we were getting Stamkos? He tweets vague garbage that could potentially be right, and if it’s wrong he’ll make a bunch of excuses.
We have 7 players who have been here since 2013-14. Sometimes a group gets too comfortable with themselves.
You take that back, right now! Irritable Bowels is some serious shit!
Permission to pilfer that line to use at the next in-law gathering?
So those clues indicate he may be the guy who comes in and tosses out the trash after everyone leaves
CAP - Covid situation... not sure what you are remembering.
What are you talking about?!
My thoughts exactly. If they lose, then all the better. No point in going for a big splash only to have that one backfire as well. I really hope the owners see what's written on the wall and instructs Lou to sell if they are more than a point or two behind at the deadline.
The thing that gets me about Lou’s style as GM now , is he probably did see value in the roster he inherited and Trotz was a good addition to his plan but as with most plans they need to be revised sometimes and he’s been slow to recognize or maybe obstinate in recognizing which in my opinion has hurt us dearly.
He values chemistry and the “room” which is very important and this team has or had but the lack of talent has caught up to them. Injuries a bit hurt this team cause when it’s good it needs all 20 guys to contribute and the guys who entered for the injuries were below par players and have brought lineup down to where I believe they work hard most nights but they just can’t score when they need one. Even last night wings were pretty bad but we only managed two goals which luckily was enough. It’s weird spot cause if they can win tonight they go into break still in the mix. I’m of the opinion that our first is available if we can get a legit offensive winger who is young like a Meier. The pick does us no good probably for two or three years by then Sorokin is on the other side of 30 if he even wants to stay behind his current deal. They need to try and win now because of the presence of Sorokin.
Toews was always ok but he is also pumped up a bit with team he is on, Leddy was always more important and was way more in trusted role under Trotz. I think isles should have done more to keep Leddy and if you point to one guy leaving who significantly hurt it was Leddy.
Parise should pick where he goes, he deserves that and I think Lou probably will approach it that way. Varly is interesting, where does he go where he could be the guy(Buffalo?). But does he want to go to Buffalo or would he take pay cut and stay, is he happy now as backup or does he want to be number 1 again is really what determines if he is traded or not I think. I think isles trade Mayfield either way even if they are in it still, I don’t think we are going to pay him what market will and if isles are in it still they could trade for someone else to fill the need for rest of year.
Speaking as a fan that’s always worried about signing aging players, Sorokin’s age is a nonfactor for me in regards to how we approach the TDL.
Being an old timer, every time I hear his name I think about one of my favorites players to watch, Bobby Schmautz. Played in 3 decades. Has as many playoff goals in a Bruin uni as number 4
Leddy post Toews was awful. Props to him for getting a bag even after that horrible series against Colorado.
