I'm not asking to bring everyone back. You want every player to sign a contract paying peanuts. Castillo is a must.
What's your definition of "cheap"? You can't answer that question as youn have no idea.
Much less than he made with Hammy? 😄😉

But he’s a center and an elite one at that. McKenna is a winger. But he can probably drive line 2 immediately but so could stenberg and he’s a center. You can’t go wrong top 5 with verhoff and Lawrence also. And the other D. Reid. Stenberg would be my pick. Plus we seem to like Swedes here. He’d fit in. He’s also ppg player in the shl at 18. Dude is generational. He’s a generational Swede.
I like Stenburg too..i think he is a winger as well at least that's where the swedish team was playing him, but all the scouting i have seen say any one of these guys can go No 1 because there is no clear consensus generational player( like a Mcdavid) 😊

The problem is.... He's not THAT good. Like, he's a very good hockey player... But he's not the generational talent like McDavid or Crosby. This feels like a waste of a tank year... McKenna isn't even the consensus #1 at this point.
Yea...stenburg? Sp..looked really good at the world junior...looked better than Mckenna....but not a generational player ethier. 😔

Happy New year everyone...have a great 2026!

I thought we played well,deserved a point..but we are just not getting many breaks this year..we just can't score..saw they mixed the lines up..by putting Scheif with Nyquist and namesy..but we don't have anyone to line up with Conner then..tough year.

I can’t watch this team anymore. The needs are obvious but management can’t or won’t do what is necessary 😢
Chevy just wont react quick..he is always measured in his reactions..right now is probably just not a good time to add anybody..other teams know we are hurting...i hate to say it but Toews situation and losing Ehlers and not getting any kind of decent replacement is killing us...is Perfetti missing Ehlers that much? We just can't score...

Yep, absolutely. But then we got the kool aid drinkers here who accept anything O'Shea does.

Wow big roll of the dice cause Hughes won't commit to the Wild right now...

Is it he just needs more time to find his legs, touch and to reinvent himself a bit or is it an experiment that unfortunately has not panned out no matter the time given?
How much time needs to lapse before a definite answer can be given to this?
Good question. I would imagine at the halfway point we can get an idea how far he can come back. It was always a roll of the dice..but you give a guy with his pedigree a lot more time than most imo.

Danny Mac played behind Tom Clements? Danny Mac never did. The backups in 87 (Clements last year playing) were Tom Muecke & some kid named Pete Riley who never saw the field. John Hufnagel was released & signed by the Saskatchewan Roughriders. .
Sorry, behind Matt Dunigan...your right. The point i was making is Cal wouldn't pick Danny Mac over Dunigan at the time..😊

Cal signed matt Dunigan to take his place in 1992. Danny Mac ended up in Edmonton.
Yup but Bc signed him first..he was backup in Wpg and Cal wouldn't pay him...so off he went. He played a couple of games in Winnipeg but we really didn't know how good he would be...playing behind Tommy Clements.

and hence why we let a guy we groomed for 3 yrs...got substantial work here along the way and showed great potential walk for basically nothing...Sure hindsight is 20/20....but also good teams...and great coaches see the future in the now...and make the tough...sometimes hard decisions...Loyalty shouldnt be a currency that keeps you employed, or starting in the same place forever
he got less grooming than Brown got here tho....and did significantly less than Brown did...Yet MTL had the foresight to look forward and project their squad so to speak and would be the best option for them...We didnt...there were many signs ZC was in serious decline and we just kept referencing 2019-2021 and some reg season success....but poor playoff performances
see above
If Huff was here..Bouno....even ol Cal....Brown woulda been kept..ZC traded
Well Ol Cal let Danny Mac go under similar conditions...hindsight is always best sight..
-
I also like Nield from Sask..thought he came up with some clutch catches..would add depth at least.
-
Ugh...never been a Comrie fan..i know he is a great team guy just don't think he is good enough talent wise..i hope i am wrong...who is the backup? ( i see right now it's Milic) we look at possibly bringing someone in?

Noeller thinks that because some of us wanted Osh & Walters replaced means we didn't like them as people. Or we think they're asshats. Which is just ridiculous. No one here said anything about them not being nice people. Osh is extremely approachable. The criticism is just how they coach & manage. Completely different things.
Gonna disagree..i believe Noeller was saying because they have been the only tandem in what like 30 years to have a dynasty team that maybe it would be wise to keep em around.. i could be wrong..there definitely is more there than they are nice people though.

GM has final say. If Walters didn't like the marine he could have released him, He's the guy that makes the call to the league office. Again, we are striving to let Walters off the hook around here. GM has final say on who is available to any coach. Just a cold hard fact. I look at all the complaints about who was rostered and still see nobody better behind them with maybe the exception of Jake Thomas.
If Walters stays I hope WM gives him a very short leash because he has been Waldo for two years now. Walters CAN be a very good GM, he needs to show up to work tho. That being said, I hope we clean house.
Yeah going 10 years with double digit wins..definitely time to clean house.🙄

We need to ride BO hard right from the get go....and integrate some BO jr too in multi back sets. That way we can control the line from the start and then if ZC...The cerebral smart ZC shows up and plays within himself...the shots will be there. If OC clown tries to come up with some fancy scheme....and ignores our bread and butter and our game dictating work horse in BO he best be left in MTL when the game is over
With all the warts and all with the defensive rostering this unit can control a game, and in play-off football this defence can I think go on a rip, and unlike OC clown (he has dropped from just OC Guy to clown now BTW) I have faith in Younger and Hall if provided the right personnel, and you cant look past that in all reality Alexander is basically still a rookie starter...and playoffs are a different beast...we seen firt hand all the fancy stats and wins in the reg. season account for zippo when rubber meets the road in playoffs....
And a younger hungrier bunch...well we seen how that translates to an aggressive overall unit....and maybe that will spurn Vaughters and WJ to rachet it up a notch....and generally WJ usually shows up in big games so not too concerned there truth be told if they actually turn him loose
Vaughters and WJ are gonna be on roster...just how Osh rolls and they should be really...We gotta get Jenkins on as he handled that MY; line easily....with Vaval back on roster fo Logan we can easily dump the extra DB in Lawson Jr and use him in that spot...and the smart/right move would be to have Bailey on for one of Corcorran...Ball and yes Thomas...1 assume Kramdi would replace Vibert....tho the use of Woodbey there...and Smith who were moved all around were more than good....Be nice to get one of Persons and Jaworski on too, but that would be at the expense of Ayers/Wilson and cant see that happening....But a heavy rotation of WJ/Vaughters/Jenkins/Bailey with Lawson and Woods taking DT reps would give us our best front...especially with how effective Woodbey and actually Smith were as outside edge rush/contain guys...4 man fronts with all 4 those ends would give tha Al's fits
Given what we saw yesterday with the potential....and if Demski is back and the offence can control the t.o.p and actually put up some 7's I feel pttty confident to be honest and can't discount that Vval may bring one back
If we flop...saying it now it's gonna be due to coaching blunders and a piss poor roster on game day...fingers crossed that Osh actually saw something yesterday
Definitely Bailey being Cdn should be in the mix...Osh praised him on OB.
