    You're probably right... that doesn't mean I have to like or even accept what I think is a very, very bad choice.

    I think it's far from inevitable... I think it speaks volumes that despite shortsighted fans clamoring for him to be captain for 2 years it's not happened. Too much coke, too many outbursts, the personality of a paper plate #notmycaptain

    Nice assumption BUT NO; Actually I've never been more than lukewarm on Larkin... last offseason I'd have gone from "absolutely not" to "f*** if we have to"... I think Seider, in a very short time, has shown he has a much more engaging personality and a higher level of maturity. I'd love to bring in an aging leader for 2-3 years to serve as captain or resign Glendenning for 2-3 years as captain to bridge to Seider.

    I really dislike the thought of Larkin as Captain... let's wait on Seider he's this team's future... Larkin is a bridge to get us there.

    Watching the HNIC pregame package on Quinn Hughes just brought home again how big the mistake we made with our first pick in the 2018 draft. An elite D would be nice about now rather than a soft, one-dimensional winger. #hindsight

    AA traded to oilers

    We've been near the league lead in that category for a decade now...

    AA traded to oilers

    Blashill is a terrible coach full stop. The success everywhere else line... nice and all but I couldn't care less. The 'no coach would have a good record' line is stating the obvious. BUT many other coaches would atleast demand respect for the team, organization and fans, that would see players looking engaged and like they give the slightest f**k out there. I don't expect miracles but I do expect HUSTLE!
  8. The "endorsement" of Blashill must be Stevie class at this point! This team is 100% garbage, no coach would have a good winning percentage... but a lack of talent is NO EXCUSE for a lack of hustle/effort. This team is lazy and it sucks!

    I don't trust Vegans, Gingers or Religious people... rules to live by.

    I think I just puked in my mouth.
  11. This whole Green at the deadline saga is as Brodziak as it is long...
  12. At this rate I'd trade any player on this roster for a decent return.
  13. I'd expect the player would be a toxic contract or somone they want.to clear out... not a real asset.
  14. I'd trade them Bernier and AA for Byram, a 2nd and a contract/player they want rid of. Is that fair/realistic?
  15. I'd imagine at this point Jimmy is thinking... "ok... I'll only play 6 or 7 more games this year, so let's get this over with and keep those cheques rolling in" Horonek oh dear! He's our only worthwhile player!
  16. wow we're so, so bad... makes the thought of drafting 4th so, so sour.

    Our Young Players

    If Byfield was our pick and he projected accurately he'd be this team's #1 center within 3 years.

    Our Young Players

    You're splitting hairs... he's the best we have so we deploy him as a 1C. That's about the size of it... on a hand full of teams he'd be the 3rd line center. He's a 2C plain and simple.

    No, no, no, lots of people disagree with my take on Zadina (incorrectly), but you go out of your way to bring it and throw bait... you little troll you.

    Aren't you the one who ******* when I bring him up? yet... you're baiting. sad bro, sad.

    I expect 2 of those 3 won't survive the rebuild as Red Wings.

    Selling high on Fabbri seems like a no brainer. By the time we're contending he'll be irrelevant on this team.

    Spot on! I would add if we had another Larkinesque player we'd have an acceptable 2C/2C tandem.
