GDT: The Toilet Bowl: CHI @ NSH

[SouthNash]

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.

Preds got fried man!

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.

I don't want Bruno fired I want this whole staff fired at the end of the season. Developing staff is a major failure. They tired to build a contender and failed miserably and shouldn't get another chance to fail again. As much as I didn't like poile and his moves he did set trotz up perfectly to rebuild by trading Ekholm and nino. Dropping Joey and duchene was the right moves by trotz to fully tear down and rebuild. You had some alright young pieces to have to start a rebuild. Trading saros would of brought you back some more good pieces and gave us alot better pick in a deep draft but trotz did a 180 and sign vets and then take away minutes from our youth and later releasing some or trading them for peanuts. Trotz sticking with a coach who doesn't play youth and doubling down by getting rid of them is terrible gming and he needs to be gone. His ego and arrogance has him not wanting to admit making a mistake.



Look ill always be a fan of the preds and I understand the people that wants to compete year in and out for a playoff spot just to watch competive hockey. And I'll admit I was excited when we signed stammer and marchessault. I wanted Pesce and zadarov instead of Skjei and carrier because they are way better defensive defenceman but it what it is. Now we are an old team and with our development staff we have no young player that is developing to be a top player. It's just sad and sucks

 

[Scoresberg]

Haven't watched all the games lately, I did know we were bad but didn't know we were this f***ing bad...

The started dismantling the defense the second they got rid of Fabbro. And that was a self inflicted gunshot wound.

 

[herzausstein]

Kindof hard to see how much worse this defense can get. Blankenburg has regressed. Josi wants to be a forward. Skjei doesnt fit this "system". We waived our best rhd and traded carrier.

Trotz may have overstated his GM abilities a tad when he declared he could construct a competitive roster from the toy surprises he found at the bottom of cereal boxes.
