Actions.

Actions.

I would like for this to be meaningful, but the other 4 Defensemen have absolutely no chance at the NHL roster. *shrug*

"playing a scrub that high doesn't mean anything, it doesn't matter, why are you so upset that the coach play a scrub in the top6"

"Oh wait now actually when it proves my point about youngsters getting chances it does matter thank you very much"

Didn't you say just yesterday that you don't take anything from pre-season games?

 

[Tripod]

Risto ain't getting bigger or faster, but he can possibly learn to play a role more suited to his skill set.

Sorry, the NHL is not a development league. You have said so for years.

Nothing is meaningful until the final roster is set.
But starting Zamula with Sanheim says they're at least giving him a good look.
If Sanheim stays at RHD, then who plays LHD with him?
It's unlikely to be Risto or Walker or Attard, so that leaves York, Andrae, Zamula, Seeler.

I think they'll send most of the AHL players down after this game (or after Saturday) and that will tell us who's fighting over the last few spots. Think he first LHV exhibition game is October 3?

Joke of an organization claims to rebuild and stuff the roster full of bad veterans

Nothing changes, just the faces

 

[deadhead]

Given the first major draft was last summer (i.e. one with multiple extra high draft picks , the previous three drafts were short a pick each year), most of the top prospects won't be arriving for 1-3 years, Michkov, Bonk, the goalies, Barkey, Ciernak.

The 2022 draft is still in college, Gauthier, Kaplan (3rd), Bump (5th), McDonald (6th), only Gendron (7th) is available.

From 2021, Kosolov (3rd) in the KHL, Zanetti (4th) in Switz, Murchison (6th) and McLaughlin (7th) in college, Tuomaala (2nd), Samson (6th) are available

2020: Foerster (1st), Andrae (2nd), Wisdom (4th), Desnoyers (5th)
2019: York (1st), Brink (2nd), Attard (3rd)
2018: Farabee (1st), [JOB (1st)], Ginning (2nd), Ersson (5th)

So there aren't a lot of highly talented prospects pushing for jobs.
That's why rebuilding takes time, not just the 2-3 top players you get picking in the top ten for a few years, but the 3-5 years for most draft picks to arrive (if ever).

The faces actually haven't changed. Not the ones that matter

 

[FLYguy3911]

If they waive Zamula, which defenseman are they carrying as the extra?

 

[Magua]

If they waive Zamula, which defenseman are they carrying as the extra?

Ginning.

 

[DancingPanther]

Ginning.

There's no other answer

 

[BernieParent]

Ellis.

 

[tnfrs]

Ellis.

how funny would it be if we managed to battle into the playoffs and suddenly Ellis has 25 games left him in, classic LTIR sneak

Jeff Marek says that Lassi Thomson is a guy Ottawa tried to attach to make whatever dump they’re trying to do. He was claimed by Anaheim.

So I see they've upgraded their FO.

This Chris Maher podcast interview with Jake Voracek is amazing. He slags AV hilariously. I am only 17 minutes in and it's golden.

 

[deadhead]

Funny thing, a lot of people are going to be surprised by some things he said.

AV was an arrogant asshole, which of course, comes as no surprise.

He thought Chuck was a nice guy squeezed by AV, he asked to be traded b/c of AV.

He thinks Jones and Briere are bringing the mojo back, according to his buddies still with the team, he thought they lost how to be a "f**king Flyer."

He thought they should have kept Berube as HC instead of hiring Hakstol.

Where is the surprise?

We’ve said for years that if Fletcher had a backbone he should have told AV to f*** off. He didn’t. That’s an indictment on both of them but we’re not the ones that defended AV and Fletcher for years.

 

[Curufinwe]

Doubling down on AV in the 2021 off season only to fire him two months into the season surely counts as at least 0.35 of a mistake.

You're probably the only one that's surprised. Everyone told you one and two were happening and you denied it. Shocking, I know
