I hope you're right... it's been incredibly frustrating watching Montreal lap our rebuild AND have pieces with higher ceilings... in-part due to luck but largely due to shrewd aggressive moves by their management.

Yzerman isn't a great GM. He's far too conservative/old school. I'm absolutely resigned to the likelihood he re-signs Chiarot... then can't find another player in FA or trade and he's with Seider for another 2 years. It won't be long before our decent players wasn't out, this team needs a bold move or two or ten.

Yeah I agree... we're at sink or swim phase of things with many of our prospects. Otherwise we'll rightly lose them as they look elsewhere for opportunity.

Unless you get a trade for a Robertonsesque player that doesn't gut your roster make no more moves. We have guys thay can be promoted... it's time to sink or swim. This year will tell if we're moving forward or launching rebuild 2.0.

I don't want either of those guys... we need to identify players who are underused on their current team and swing a deal. No more 30 something guys who won't contribute much 2 years from now.

They drafted a lot of D but missed on most of the ones outside of the top 10.

I think Emmett Finnie is a guy to watch... I think he could develop into a 2nd/3rd line scorer.

EK is spent... bringing him in for future considerations wouldn't even make sense.

Hey it's a reclamation project... Kubalik was an important trade chip in the Dcat trade... This would be a low risk high reward play.

I was going to post something similar... I wonder if he could be had for a 3rd and Tuomisto? Too low? Maybe 1:1 with Berggren going back?

Losing Trev is gonna hurt... he's excellent... Keats was good too but I don't begrudge him his retirement.

I see what you did there... You plan to watch? I'm going to keep my powder dry for next season.

I'm glad we didn't chase Miller at the cost of those assets and term/cap. That's just nuts.

Yea I've lost all faith in this front office. Other teams do creative things to get better. We trade a 4/5 defenceman with a 2nd round pick for "future considerations" because we're stuck in 1980s hockey guy logic.

With that approach our time will never come.
