Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

Malkin is not dumping Lou - he brought him in for stability.

Ha. Good one.


"Hi Mr. Malkin. It's Lou. Just wanted to check in. I know you wanted stability when you hired me, so thought I would point out that under my watch the team is getting consistently worse. Based on that level of stability I was wondering if we could talk about a contract extension..."

All fan views from the bottom up.

Now Barzal out. Maybe this is what they need. A complete collapse. Might spur ownership into change. Very little in the system that can help…

Bc him in the lineup was propping things up? Yeah, no.

I agree with your theory, but concerned that Malkin will be like, "Well Barzal was out - Of course we couldn't expect to be good. Let's give Lou at least another year."

This team stinks (and is light years from a Cup) when all their "best" players are playing. I hope Malkin knows this, because some fans don't.

Could very well happen…Lou is more of a politician than a GM. He will spin it to his advantage.

He’s pretty instrumental to the teams success. If they want to get going he is a big piece. Taking Barzal out and adding Fasching or Martin doesn’t help the situation. Worlds a weird place though..:who knows.
