Bust in the making....

The answer here is simple... if you draft top 3 take the player you want from what's available. Then trade Zadina and a 2021 second to __________ for their first this year and draft Askarov. You'd get a far better forward prospect and a potential franchise goalie for a bust and a 2nd rounder.

Apple?

That's possible, but would the org really want to put a 19 year old kid in net with our D in front of him and allow him to see more rubber than a highway? Sounds like a great way to destroy a kid.

Meh traded for Meh .

I agree and he'd be ready at roughly ~~22-24 years old to take the net on our second attempted rebuild.

Tankathon is up to date with this seasons data... Ran the sim 20 times... highest finish 2nd, most common finish 4th, in almost every run 1 or 2 low odds teams make a huge jump and snag a top 2 pick. If that's the way it plays out, after this abysmal season I'm not sure I could continue to watch the next few seasons. I'm not a bandwagon fan but another 2-3 years go by without significant improvement the likes of Larkin, Bert, Mantha our older core players will likely want to move on. This next draft is critical... we need a top 3 pick or this is gonna get even uglier.

We need to draft Byfield... he and Lafreniere are comparable but we need quality centers... its much easier to add a quality winger or two to complement and all world center, than it is to add a quality center to compliment an all world winger. The best case scenario for this rebuild is that Larkin continues to progress/plays well in his prime and is our 2nd line center, because that's where he fits.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American LGW pals.

Hurt...

Someone needs to convince Hirose is March/April and he has the opportunity to single handedly f*** our draft position... then sit back and watch the twine bulge.

The US was a key supplier of hardware well before entering the war... that would likely have continued just for $$$$ reasons. The US also pressed this advantage and were.the recipients of a lot of R & D, scientific data and strategic bases. So it wasn't a selfless soft or hard entry into the war for the US.

It's practically impossible for Japan to have entered the European theatre due to geography... they were also working toward a Pacific based empire. They would likely have dominated much of China, Vietnam and Korea thus saving the US from two failed wars.

Fixed this for you... Americans who pretend to be Canadians in europe are called 'SMART' The allies would have won the war without the US but it would have taken far longer and the Russia would have occupied even more of Europe. If anything the American delay in entering the war set in motion the Cold War. The US hasn't won a war since WW2, lost in Nam and Korea, had to go back to Kuwait a second time and are still there... Kill alot of people yes, Win not so much.

I'd take Lehner on a 4yr x 4mil deal but that's my absolute max. The others are 2 years and 2 million max deal guys in my view.

Options for next year? I think it's time to move on from Howie... https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/money-men-a-quarter-season-look-at-the-seven-best-pending-ufa-goalie-options

I wonder if his team nickname is "Busty"; referring to his love for the ladies of course.

I'm still not clear as to why this goes down?

It's a good point... I like to come by read, chat, etc... if there is someway we can help prevent or fix outages I'm open to helping out.

The easiest solution is trade him with salary retained for a player with a horrible contract and only one year remaining. Play that player would be waived/demote to the AHL and the problem would go away in a year rather than two years.

At this rate the SENS could have the 1st and 2nd overall pick and we pick 3+. That's assuming the Sharks are awful and the lottery really rigged. (Which it is) lol If that happens I think I'll be selling my NHL fan card.

These are harvested in October... in real countries :-)

Real countries have Thanksgiving in October...

We need someone... Howard seems to have fallen off a cliff and landed next to Bernier.... What would Markstrom cost do you reckon?

How can anyone see this effort and not demand a coaching change... our team sucks yes... but.they could atleast hustle, try, etc. This is so effing pathetic!
