No chance a team would pick up either. They're dead wood signed beyond this season. My hope is that Botts waives Sobotka later this season, both so that Phil can't play him anymore and so that Vlad runs back to Europe next year rather than playing in the AHL.

Pathetic.
5 straight losses now. A few more and we’ll have completely wiped out all the gains from the winning streak.
This isn’t a playoff team the way things are going.

10-22-28 has been the only non-Eichel driven competent line this year, no reason we should be sending 10 down. I get he isn’t great but that line was shutting others down.
Now 17, sure. Board darling 71, should sit again....and both 37 and 43 need to start scoring or setting up.
Our severe lack of any offense outside of an Eichel driven line is alarming. I thought Sam was hot garbage today but he needs to be separated and drive his own line. Putting all our eggs in 1 basket does nothing for the rest of the lines. God forbid if 53-9 stop putting up points...
I think we have to go back to:
53-9-29
....and try to generate some offense from whoever else.
71 deserves to sit for a callup
37 deserves to just sit, he’s not been good
Our defense, well if 5 has to be in due to injuries you’re just gonna have to figure out a way to score more, which is this teams major problem right now outside of Skinner-Eichel

Gave my grandsons a choice of the Ottawa afternoon game with me and their dad or this one. They chose Ottawa and I skipped this one, taping it instead. I guess I will watch some of the first period. I expected an easy win--guess the players did too.

While I don’t think 10 has been great I wouldn’t be in a rush to sit him.
71 I would sit next game if better options were available. But I wouldn’t send him down.
Next game I’d let girgs draw in for 23

The loss had nothing to do with key injuries. Cold streaks. And poor in game adjustments. True story.
Today the only meaningful Miss was McCabe. Unless the difference from last year to this year is scandellas current injury, in which case I agree.

The good part is that Mittelstadt definitely has it in him to realize the mistakes he is making. We knew this year would be full of growing pains. I think he comes out firing next year. He's somewhat in over his head at 2C, but I am extremely confident they won't be a one line team next year. A lot of that will be a product of his growth. There are at least 4-5 forwards who are placeholders right now. Once some of the young guys get here, it becomes a lot more fun and wide open.

And then they would lose 10-1 due to no real system.

Welp nobody can say we weren't warned that acquiring both of them (even if had just been for a bag of pucks) was an incredibly bad idea. The smart money says Botts lacks both the courage and smarts to do the right thing here and cut our losses.

He's extremely physically overmatched right now, reminds me of Reinhart his first couple years.

What cold streaks would we be talking about? We've been a 1 line team all season. Nobody is suddenly cold that hasn't been cold all season.

I think him and Thompson should be in Rochester. They've shown they can play in the NHL, but they're not able to sustain it. Send them down and call up Smith and Nylander/Olofsson .

Yeah, what the hell was that all about. I don't know what pictures Sobotka has of Mrs. Housley but they must be lurid.

Careful, Phil may think you're telling him to play Sobotka more.
