Speculation: When Does Bruno Get The Boot?

[LCPreds]

Trotz is really sticking his neck out there for Bruno.

It won’t go far.

Trotz and Bruno can now use the injuries excuse. What do you expect from a team that is missing RoR, Nyquist, Josi, Carrier, Lauzon?

Looks like we are still shoving all the young players onto a line and saying best of luck to you. Having L'Heureux, Pärssinen, and Svechkov together isnt a great idea. But i guess Bruno really doesnt want to leaverage the experience he has. Just gonna put them on a 4th line and play them when you absolutely have to.

Well I expect a team missing RoR, NyQuil and Josi to be worse.

I expect a team missing Carrier and Lauzon to actually be better. If Schenn was missing we would also be better.

But yes the management now has an excuse and I hate that for the fans

He already had all the excuse he needed, the owners have all the excuse they need, they are being patient and letting them learn. Ladies and Gentlemen we might as well get used to it unless something suddenly clicks and one of them figures this mess out.

Someone needs to pay the batman building a pretty penny to drape a "fire Bruno and Trotz" banner on the building like the Preds didn't when they unveiled the gold sweaters

Could just drape it over the floors AT&T are vacating. Won't mess with anyone's views.

Carrier and Lauzon are atleast nhl level dmen. I still would love to trade them but they are less suspect on the ice than the 4 AHL dmen we will be running.

Although, ive been pleasently surprised with Wilsby, Del Gaizo, and Blankspot. Wilsby and Del Gaizo are likely legitimate NHL bottom pairing defense and maybe a bit more ceiling if all goes well (like Carrier) and Blanker would actually be pretty decent if he wasnt microsized and easily zambonied off the puck

I'm not convinced Carrier should be an NHL defenseman. At least not an every night player

I think him and Lauzon would actually make a really good 3rd pair. Lauzon is paid like one but unfortunately we chose Carrier over Fabbro and paid Carrier like a 2nd pairing. Both are fine as long as they arent elevated above their ability. Both can play 2nd pairing as necessary. Carrier keeps getting put up to 1st pairing and looks terrible.

In fairness I've been saying carrier isn't an NHL caliber d man for years at this point. Maybe a third pairing d man but I wouldn't have him as anything more than a 7th D on my roster personally. To weak on his skates, not good at battling in front and not good enough with passes out of the d zone.

I don't think he fills any particular need on the blue line.

I didnt want to extend him personally. Mostly because i knew Bruno was going to choose him over Fabbro and i thought that was an idiotic decision for now and the future.

Yeah I could have dug them as a pairing in that Irwin-Weber role.

Good lord, what a disaster of a year..
