Mantha might be done for the year - what now
mackel replied to nyqvististhefuture's topic in General
Nope... take the homer glasses off... he's a quality 2C behind a true 1C or a platoon guy with another 2C to eat minutes. -

On this team (as in by default) in reality no he's not. Hronek is a top pair D. The jury is still out. -
I'd like to win the lotto, if all we have to do is ask!

This is interesting... and promotes discussion. Its possible all of those guys may be on the older side of young once we get our crap together.

A grocery stick that piece of plastic you use to separate orders at the grocery store checkout. It's a place holder. -

Lane Lambert was floated as a coaching possibility... which may explain why Blashill still has a job. Lambert is an assistant now and could really only be hired in the offseason. Which makes Blashill a "grocery stick". -

This is painful... but it does highlight how well Bernier has played despite his so so stats. Saw our lineup on Instagram and a damn near cried. HF we're bad. -
Whats with the Bernier hate? I think he's exceptionally well... he's kept us afloat in games we've had no business being in... Howard on the other hand has been a train wreck.
-
I think what he's saying is given a choice of a short/cheap extension of Bernier (1-2 years) or signing Holtby for 4-6 years for the salary he'll likely get, he'd roll the dice on Bernier. I tend to agree with that...
-
I think we have our old guy for the 1A/1B tandem with Bernier... we now need the younger guy who could take over as a solid #1 in 2-3 years.
-
I don't think either player is on 3/4 of the rosters in the NHL. We happen to be in the 1/4 where they are because we simply don't have any better options. These guys are placeholders, that's it. But I agree, by the time we can replace them, they will be history. I doubt Yzerman would think twice about having a 4/5 million per year AHLer for a couple of seasons.
-
We need a bold move for a goalie... Georgiev or that KHL guy the Leafs really want (Timur Bilyalov)... that's an absolute necessity moving forward. Howard is clearly done, Bernier has played very well but nobody can see that much rubber and stay sane. We literally don't have a minor league goalie who'll be a player in the NHL for 2-3 seasons if ever. Its downright ugly!

@ChristopherReevesLegs @krsmith17 thanks for the entertainment.

On the bright side Hutchinson is getting lit up tonight and Bernier was "sick" please god can we get a 2nd rounder and or a decent prospect.

1/12 Sabre Rattling GDT - Sabres @ Red Wings - 5:00 PM ET
mackel replied to Dabura's topic in General
Totally off topic... but to those folks who watch the Griffins, is/was Hirose hurt? it doesn't seem like he's played many games since being sent down. -
Never say never we might... I concede it's not overly likely but its possible. I think taking bad contracts is a very viable option... that helped Toronto stock the cupboards. Their were a few people who were adamant adding Karlsson would put us in the playoff picture along with further development of our own guys and Taro Hirose looked like a 2nd liner etc.
-
I'd be 100% in favor or trading Bernier if a team cam calling. Howard/_______ to end the season with the best lotto odds.
-
Well it seems we were on the same page about Karlsson. Lol

Historically yes BUT his game has fallen off a cliff... That's a spot to field test someone else. -

Nielson in the shootout? And people defend this coach? Wowzers. -
I want to win the lottery... It's as likely to happen as a 100pt Larkin season.
-
Can we add Georgiev to our wish list and toss another pick maybe our own 3rd which is comparable to a late 2nd??? Please can we?
