Confirmed with Link: Training Camp

I think the team has made its push to get better by trading Geekie and Moser for Sergachev and then signing Marino, Cole and Stenlund (and to lesser extent Bortozzo and Yamamoto).

Now it is up to the young talent to grow.

Still have oodles of prospects to deal in the event of an injury or a smart trade at the deadline.

Anyone care to share their opinion/thoughst on how Sam Lipkin looked in camp?

I'll give that half a clap.

I’ll give a half clap as well, giving @Half Clapper the clap. May he not suffer lest he continue to be insufferable.

 

[Half Clapper]

How are people chirping because Yakemchuk got sent down? LMAO. Some of you guys must not be running on all cylinders. I'd rather him be a stud in Calgary than play as a #6 D-man and not develop properly. I've seen enough of the player to know he is going to be a damn good NHL player.

You can think that, but we don't know that for sure. By this time next year, the team may have been better having Moser and Geekie over Sergarchev. But yes I loved the Marino trade, which was needed to fill a top 4 role by only giving up surplus picks. Smart business!

Awe poor baby! Bill Armstrong is a car salesman to the highest degree. Unlike most of you, I don't drink all the Kool-Aid he is spewing out!

LOL, we won't know any of what you are attempting to prove for sure, due to all the variables.

Of course we dont know it for sure until the season plays out. Hopefully Marino gets well soon. Crazy that GMBA added 2 top 4 dmen this off season. PLUS Cole.

I regret we gave up Geekie but that too has to play out.

Ya Cole will play solid minutes for this team as well.

EDIT: I want people to understand that I still like Bill Armstrong as a GM, I just don't eat up every move he has made for this team. The French coach on the other hand I think will be replaced. He is more of the development guy and then as we start to contend will need an experienced guy in charge.

OK then,
The HF obligatory "Geekie was a bust"...

That you are insufferable is separate and apart from your opinion on Armstrong. My opinion is that it is way too early to evaluate the Armstrong drafts, and his rebuild. I can’t make an honest evaluation for another 2-3 years. Arguing one 17 year old top draft pick is better than another is ridiculous. Wait until they are old enough to shave every day.

Agreed - Yakemchuk is 19 though, a fact Clapman is conveniently neglecting to consider.
