Because if it's done purposely then tickets should be half price. We're not there to pay NHL prices to see AHL talent. I know I know there's logic to it, solid arguments in teams tanking to get a solid rebuild, 2 3 years down the road be a contender but if done on purpose values go out the door for me. Unless they inherited someone else's mess coming in and need to retool right away, to me a GM is crappy at their job if they find themselves in this predicament. Yes I'm not a NHL GM and and I don't understand the reality of this business. I guess this is where the business world and the win now entertainment worlds collide.

I don't think they're doing it on purpose, they just don't have a plan or any clue how to turn it around. Chevy and armchair GM Chipman are out of their depth. They'll gladly take your money though. rebusrankin, bustamente and HardCoreBlue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) I'd be disappointed if we didn't move out Dillon or even Stanley for some forward depth but I don't think you see Any big trades yet, maybe Wheeler? I'm not even sure there anymore. The cap is just to hard to move.. still see Florida tho there eventually but maybe not to start the year for 26. But yeah move an excess D for a winger to play with Lowry or a top 6 guy and bump 26 to Lowrys wing. Something Anything cuz this is insanity coming back with the same exact team minus copp Stastny and add perfetti Barron Gus.

If they have the small results as last year to start the year they will see a lot of empty seats, which hopefully will be a motivator to not sit on their hands in the following off season. I'm not expecting anything from them this year I also thought the Chevy had more than enough time at the helm and should of been fired not given an extension.

Least with 55 he's getting 70+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want to put him on the checking line with Lowry and Appleton? That makes zero sense. How do you figure 80 goals against? Did you happen to make up that number or it is a fact?

Goalie Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 I believe that 31 is more than ves toninato and Harkins put up combined so yeah bottom 6 and a RW is a solid signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Cheaper, less productive version of Stastny, IMO. Can't really go wrong @ $750K and he's a solid veteran, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Cheap & (maybe) solid. That's our Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Out Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I have a feeling we're going to be hot garbage but because of a few skill guys we won't have a sniff at a decent draft spot. The only reason to look forward to hockey as far as I'm concerned is the cool new reverse retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
