1. Are you looking to rent an apartment, house or condo in Canada? Then it's time to MOVE! Check out https://rentals.ca/ as they are Canada's LARGEST rental network!

2. They should test Matheson on the wing. His speed and passing could be awesome

3. We should probably let him play 1 shift ….

4. We had Dach as a lock

5. We need Gavin McKenna.

6. 2nd

7. In February, we will be in year 4 of the rebuild. actually.

8. i would like to see Laine play with Dach and Slaf…

9. Our savoir Joshua Roy 🤣

10. 2

11. They are putting together a team that will peak together.

12. I agree,
    "I cannot stand the way they handled Slaf this year"

13. I can't stand how they've handled Slaf this year.

    They dropped him down to play with Dach in hopes of getting him going. It didn't work… So PUT HIM BACK ON THE 1ST LINE!

    In my opinion, he was not a 3rd wheel on the 1st line. He made amazing plays on the 1st PP with Suzuki and Caufield.

14. marty…..putting mushrooms in his coffee

15. Thinking about it, having 2 sub-par performing goaltenders in year 3 of a promissing rebuild is best case scenario.

    It teaches the young guys to win by themselves without the help of a star goaltender (no cheating). And they have the opportunity to develop mental fortitude by losing a few games when they are not performing at their best or when they give low efforts.

    It gives us more losses while still having a decent offense going on for the fans and it will yield a better first round pick at the draft.

    Once you finally get above average goaltending, the team will shoot out like a bottle rocket and we can truly be "in the mix" for a good while.

    I think that the powers that be know this very well and they are happy with how this season is going, I think that their strategy is unfolding near perfectly.

16. and just think, 12 days ago the homers were ready to plan the parade because we beat 3 awful teams. Now Slaf is a 4th liner, making his wishlist for his new salary next year, Dach is atrocious and Armia/Dvorak continue to escape benchings and scratches.

17. Laine is a good addition to this squad no doubt. He is not the missing piece we need though. We need a #2 Center with size and faceoff dominance. That is our single biggest hole that we don't really have the prospect to fill other than maybe Hage.
    We need to fill the center hole if we want to win consistently. Until then we will keep spinning our wheels.

18. Put Dach down on the 3rd line.

19. We can take trouba and his contract, but they will have to pay

20. No to Trouba contract too big for what we get like his intensity but at his age should have it under control.
