So far under Bowler being gm he doesn't envision d man that do that. Only focusing on offensive guys.

It can be also said that Woodall (great community kid by the way) playing 70 plus less career games is gaining faster than Cristoforo is improving.

Listen, those 3 make quite a few mistakes. That combined with a lack of physicality has me moving 2 as well.
I believe that the problem with the D is more of a coaching philosophy than the players themselves. Whatever D men are on the ice, one of them is playing as a 4th forward and the other is playing as a true D. This has been an issue for several years with a complete turnover of D men and coaches.
I don't like Dmen constantly deep in the O zone, but I think different Dmen might have the same result.

The news about Belchetz being out that long is concerning. I would prefer if Bowler calls ppl up and not pull the 11/7 crap but I wouldnt be surprised if he does. We'll see I guess. As for the future of this team I think it would be wise to trade guys that ppl mentioned above like Abraham, Outwater, Froggett, Manzo, Eichler and Winegard. I would prefer if they get some decent depth 06 or 05 forwards or even just call some ppl up that they could use. Wouldn't mind if they call up guys like Morgan or Stewart to mend the holes in the bottom 6. My main goal for this team is to make the 2nd round. Anything above that would be a very welcome surprise but I don't want them to pull a kneejerk trade and screws us over in the future (i.e Brett Harrison). I'm okay with either Costanzo or Windbiel Thursday and just let them recoup and have fun for the holidays. But yeah after that, figure out the roster, make some calls and see if we can have a decent trade deadline.
Go Spits Go.

Very true and as you say under different coaches, then it becomes a player issue or direction from the top.Bowler? I have no problem pinching when you are behind but when ahead it should not happen.

I know some on here won't agree but Christoforo and Woodall aren't going anywhere.
At the half way point in the season Christoforo leads the league in plus/minus at plus 27. Last year he was minus 44. That is a plus 71 improvement. No GM is giving up on a player that has shown that much improvement under new coaching. If you are looking for a needle in a haystack you will always find the needle. Try looking for the unexpected. Most here can't see by past last year and it blinds them.
Woodall is very good in his roll. His play is not hurting this team and who are you bringing in that will be better than him and he is already here at zero costs.
I remember fans that use to yell at Ryan Ellis! Some fans can only see negative. I'm very happy both are here.

IMHO you dance with the girl you brought to the party. If, at the trade deadline, someone is interested in players you don’t want next year then deal for future picks. Next year should be foremost on our minds.
