GDT: The Toilet Bowl: CHI @ NSH

Embarrassing. Hard to imagine it can get worse than this.

We have another barn burner tomorrow!

I thought you were a pro-tanker, no? This is how those teams look. I'm certainly convinced at this point that Trotz IS pro-tank...only thing that explains keeping Bruno behind the bench. Make a change and we might win some games.

Wrong. This isn't how you tank, you don't sign vets to tank. This is just a old bad hockey team which is poorly ran. Tanking teama play youth which we really dont have hardly anymore. Trotz isn't trying to tank he's just a bad gm that doesn't want to fire his coach. Which is also bad management

Dismantling the defense is a tank move, as is acquiring 5 top 50 picks and "wanting to make a splash" at a draft.

The roster composition is unorthodox for a tanking team, definitely, but this is the kind of shit hockey they play nightly. You're right that he didn't build it that way but I don't think he's going to make any adjustments that could potentially right the ship at this point.

He won't. What he will do is bring young guys in, maybe pick guys up on the waiver wire and try them out and see what they have.

Apparently one of the reasons they brought Kemell up was because they were happy with the way his two way game had developed. Now the trick is if you are Trotz is getting Brunette to give them the minutes.

Personally if I'm Trotz I tell him to roll everyone equally. All the forwards should be sitting at around 15 minutes a night. If they aren't I'm not waiting for the offseason.
