But the new coach would be Lapo and we already know he wouldn't do any of those things because we've seen it before.

Saxton and Otunga are both awful! I like Mauro and Graves though. Most notable omission for me was Bayley but rumor is she is Sasha's partner at Battleground and will be joining one of the shows.

I think that's a pretty good bet, especially for the top 9...

I don't think they would. Maybe at the bye if they are 1-7 but even then, I'm not sure they would pull the trigger. However I doubt we see a blowout, I predict a close loss.

Oh come on, I know that one isn't true! It's right in the article, game one 2010. Now 50 points, I could believe that...

Surprised to see the Hebners on that list. Thought they were "company men" through and through.

I'm only counting mine as 2 strikes because I really believed I was going to get it right last week. Chris Williams

Why would Carolina want to move their two best defense prospects and their top centre? For what you are offering? Come on...

Marincin is ten times the player that Mark Stuart is

I liked Copp and Armia together last season. Maybe a line of Perreault Copp Armia on the 3rd line. Ehlers Scheifele Wheeler Laine Little Stafford Perreault Copp Armia Matthias Lowry Thorburn/Burmi

On the other hand, are we being too harsh on Willy? It's frustrating watching him sometimes but he is able to sustain drives and sometimes make good plays. He's second in the league in passing on pace for 5500+ yards and first in terms of QB rushing yards. Yes he has his flaws but when is the last time we've had a quarterback with those kinds of numbers? I'm not eager to go back to the days of Joey Elliott, Justin Goltz and Max Hall. Ugly, ugly times! Unless we can get a proven veteran like Burris, I'm not interested in moving on from Willy. No more first-time starters getting their shots here!

Pavelec has only one year remaining at 3.9M. Hold on to him and trade him to some team desperate for a goalie at the trade deadline.

I still have hope. But it's too bad we're already playing the hope game. I "hoped" this year would be different.

So your answer is who? Not a prospect, not Willy, not Burris? Tate? No... not Tate. Who then?

One or two years of winning sounds great, I'll take it. Sign some young prospect to develop on the bench for one or two years and you're set. It's so easy.

I like JVR but that's just not enough for Trouba. JVR + Martin Marincin + 2nd round pick for Trouba.

Burris is still hurt but if we are 1-6 or whatever at the bye then we should definitely acquire Burris! Definitely!

Willy has just gotta hit a few of those big plays. I am still hoping he is just in a slump from getting injured last year and once he hits a few of those big ones he will start to gain his confidence back. I don't really see Nichols as a legitimate option... we pretty much have to hope that Willy figures it out soon.

Well I wouldn't stand behind the horse.

I still have faith in Willy. I have less faith in Paul LaPolice to be honest.

I've thought Posey has actually been okay..... I'm more worried about Reilly running on us. Bombers always seem to get lit up by running QBs

For example if it came down to Dano or Armia I would hope they keep the better player (Dano) regardless of contract status.

In what way? I don't get what you're saying.

Rich said it's very likely he would get claimed. I'd say it's 50/50 maybe.

If you are posting on this site then you are not the kind of fan Mike is referring to. The casual fan isn't going to suddenly come back after one win. The brand is damaged. They need a winning season, not one win.
