Attracting free agents and having to pay a premium or longer term ( see Wheeler,Little.) To keep then here. When you see a player with a NMC i am unfortunately sure Winnipeg is at the top....
Yeah i would take Carlyle but i think he may be too strict for today's soft athlete. But imo Lowry is gone, we need a fresh new direction maybe even a New Gm as well? I think Chevy has done as well as any GM could do in our market though we really missed that one chance to go all the way. Small market teams have so little time and it's getting worse for us to compete..the NMC for these world class whiners is killing the small teams...
Matt Dunigan, wow what QB stable Edmonton had back then, crazy. I believe Damon Allen came later to as a backup to Dunigan..if my memory is right.( just saw last post forgot about Ham...)
Really didn't think this would happen but i guess the loss to the Sabres was the last straw. Lasted a long time as a coach which is a testament to him. Hopefully this sparks the team.
Why was the field is such poor shape? Don't we cover the field till game time? looks bush league... sorry for the rant but it might of cost us this game.
Well might as well be the one contrarian here...thought Fajardo played well using his legs and the short to intermediate pass is his game. Couple of bad picks that he overcame. I never like to underestimate an opponent and Sask will have no pressure on them. Tough game for us but i know MOS will have us as ready as we can be..
Not Huddy, a bump up from the minors coach for this year? Boudreau? Hitchcock? I am just throwing out names, i don't think Maurice is a bad choice but throwing Wheeler or Schiefele on the ice no matter how they play was gonna blow up some day....
Yeah, no doubt a bad deal, but i have to give Chevy a little room here because in our market we just don't have the options others do. If a guy wants to stay here and is productive we overpay.
I have read Bettman's statement and heard Chevy 's response. I am not a big Bettman fan but really respect how he has handled this terrible situation in regards to Chevy. Kudos to him for not taking the easy route.
This difference is they gave Connor and Scheifele top 2 lines and pp time, Perfetti nothing . I get it more ice time down on the Moose but especially when Wheeler was out y not at least give the kid a taste? Oh well later kid...🙂
