How about Swedish meatballs? Yum

If he can stay healthy, he is certainly a defensive upgrade over anything Mirco or Carrick can offer. And he is essentially free. He needs to stay on the ice, though.

One has to remember that Crawford put up those numbers last year with a less than stellar Chicago squad. He seems to know how to win and wants to do it again. Let's give him a chance. We really do not have anything to lose. I really like this move, and we save a little bit of change, too.

Trotz brings a fundamentally sound approach, perfect for the Isles. And EVERYONE is held accountable. I still hate Kovy; has he gotten old!

What were they thinking they would get when they hired him? They never asked us. We here all know his body of work here was VERY MUCH less than impressive. And all your other points are also spot on. Hopefully we, as an organization, have learned something from having endured(!) his tenure here.

This thread has been full of speculations and wishful thinking. We need the to give the Fitz/Ruff team a chance to get to work. Passing judgement at this juncture is premature. They both know that the coaching carousel we call the NHL can be merciless. We need to set our focus on the draft and get the best talent we can. Then let's set our sights on getting to work. Let Ruff hire the assistants he can work with and do the job they are supposed to do. We need a new vision going forward. The time to start is now. .

And all we have to worry about is getting ready for the lottery. Who exactly is running our show anyway? Do we really even know?

And who exactly will be making these decisions? Do we even know? What a confused corporate structure....

Our current national emergency has certainly changed the way we do things. But we still need to be prepared when our country comes out of this. be safe, everyone.

It sounds thoroughly unworkable. I am sure that the league will go for it full throttle. Do we ever expect anything less from the geniuses in the league office?

This whole current situation, for many, is something we have never dealt with before. Many are learning as they go. But as we deal with these life issues, we will learn what the important things are. And we will be better the next time for events such as these.

There is no need to take any chances right now. People's lives are at stake. Please remember those who provide us the healthcare we all depend on. They are on the front lines in this war.

Team ownerships need to do the right thing! Why are team staffs being penalized for something that was not their fault?!!! Man up!!!

All that hype about Igor makes me want to hurl!

Solid goaltending will only win you so many games. Where are the other pieces? (Here's to Cory to keep it going.)

His mental state has been fragile for some time. We have consider this a confidence booster for him. We will have to see what his next start brings; we know he has the skill set. But does HE believe it? That's the real crux of the matter.

82 games against the Dead Things works for me!

Lots of cap space; let's use it!

yes, with a little seasoning

Anderson and Rooney on that same lime were serviceable, but they are 4th liners all.

Hayden should not be in the lineup, ever!!

His speed is a game changer.

Do we think he has a great upside? Still, great return for a real solid player. Good luck, Pickles, we will certainly miss you!

That's a good question.

What do we know about him? Is he better than his brother?
