Selling ghost and sprong plus would not have disrupted this teams future progress beyond the next few months, and wouldve stocked the cupboards even more. But now we will get 5or6 games of payoffs and then let them walk for nothing. EXCELLENT MANAGING. 1 town123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hate the idea of complete inaction on a meta physical level. 1 minute ago, The 91 of Ryans said: Not if it was ANaheim or St Louis. Lets be honest - If SY stood pat it's cause he chose too, not cause he couldn't find a deal. The mans been a killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted March 8 (edited) I think there's an argument to be made for standing pat, but if we go on a slide because we don't have a competent center at the top of the lineup then that decision becomes a lot less tenable. We're in a battle for the playoffs right now and it would be a big screwup to both not sell AND miss the playoffs because you didn't shore up a position of need.

Kinda Legwandish, but not really. We gave up a top organizational prospect for him (Jarnkrok) at the time. I'm not suggesting that. But I'd have given serious consideration to Johansen or Kuznetsov considering the low asking price. Again, you could turn around and waive them in a few weeks if you don't really want them. Their salaries are low enough that it wouldn't have hurt us in any meaningful way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we can agree this TDL was not the height ofYzerman's creativity. I would've welcomed Kuzy for a 7th as an experiment. Something something miyagi quote about inaction.

I was very surprised to see Canes gamble on him. But I guess they have been more open door with TDA and giving guys chances. Some probably disagree, but I respect Kuzy more for liking cocaine, then I do Johansen for just being a lazy fuq for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they both suck, but we need a center that could maybe score one day. We have exactly one of those guys and he's on IR. In Larkin's absence we have 4 centers that will combine for less than 100 points this year and 17 wingers who are less than 6 feet tall and are best described as "heady" and "creative". Meanwhile, we've got Tampa and the Islanders breathing down our necks. Woohoo. Edit: Also, don't get ahead of yourself. There's absolutely no reason to think that Ryan Johansen doesn't also like cocaine. I'm 100% sure he'd like it if he tried it anyway.
