  1. I like him to but someone has to go, no?

    Especially if Morrissey makes the team next year.

     

    Buff, Myers, Trouba, Enstrom, Chiarot, Postma, Stuart, Harrison, Clitsome and Harrison......Pardy is an UFA.

    That's 10 D men not counting the farm like Ellerby and Kitchton.

    Postma, Ellerby and Chiarot are all RFAs after this year and I can't see them letting Postma and Chiarot walk for nothing.

    Better to re-sign them even if you are going to trade them but who knows.

     

    I wouldn't trade any of the first 4 and Stuart will get you the most of the remaining 6 not counting Morrissey.

  2. Maurice's first interview on the subject related the story that Chevy told him if things didnt turn around, they'd deal assets and get younger, the implication being some of the veterans on the team.  I took it to mean that Chevy was "warning" Maurice that they had a long term view.

     

    The second interview noted the conversation with Chevy again and I believe Maurice said something like "who knows, we might be getting younger next season".  He further said something to the effect of "I know that's not what guys like Ladd or Buff might want to hear because they are right in that age when they want to win now but we do want to win now but we have a draft and develop plan."  he further went on to talk about how they were buyers at the deadline.

     

    He was essentially saying that the plan hasnt changed.  Draft & develop.  What happens in the short terms dictates whether they go all-in on waiting for the future or make moves to compete now (like they did this year).

    not how i interpreted the  2nd interview...wish i cud find it.

  3. Maurice

     

    Then again if this team doesn't make the playoffs, it's possible we see some bigger changes

    Maurice reiterated recently his earlier claim that when meeting with Chevy to discuss the job offer last year, Chevy said if the team didnt turn around they would be shipping out some guys and "getting younger". 

    He said if the team hadn't made the playoffs or weren't in contention, they would be dealing assets and getting younger...they were buyers this deadline, which is what they wanted to be, so you would think he won't be wanting to get younger. Looking for the interview but I can't find it...

  4. In no order:

     

    Stafford?-Scheifele-Wheeler

    Ladd-Little-Perrault

    Frolik?-Lowry-Stempniak?

    Thorbs(Ehlers?)-O'Dell-Armia

     

    Buff-Chiarot

    Myers-Enstrom

    Trouba-Morrissey

     

    Pavelec-Hutchinson

     

    Stuart, Peluso and Thorbs/Ehlers as hanger arounders...

    I forgot about Postma!!!!!!!
