61-I was thinking Jack Skille as well….wether a change of scenery deal for Tambellini or trading Sutton(when did he ever play)
or maybe it takes both. Decent Size….2nd/3rd liner?

UIF makes a good point about CB making a good point. nevermind what the g.m. says. we already know that. he does business the way a lot of g.m.’s in sports do business. most in fact. i didn’t expect any big UFA signings and don’t understand why anyone did. i thought maybe he’d go for orr or brashear or neil (who got way more than anyone thought), but that was all. that he hasn’t obtained a tough yet is no big deal at this point. one can still be had by trade, maybe even 2. and maybe rechlicz’s boxing lessons will pay off.

CB makes a good point. This is the reason I stated earlier why people are surprised and upset over no FA signings despite Garth saying there would be no FA signings. Because the man “bluffs” his own fan base virtually every time he speaks to the media. It’s not really worth taking him at his word about these things. I don’t know if that’s a criticism as much as just an observation. I take everything Garth says with a grain of salt.

Stick with the plan. Good logic.

Especially if the plan is the have this young team getting the crap beaten out of them on a regular basis; especially if the plan is to get them used to losing on a regular basis.

When young players spend their games turtling, fearing their turns on the ice, and KNOWING that there’s nobody on the team who has their backs, I don’t see that as doing anything except stunting their development, if not destroying their careers forever.

This team, as presently constructed, most certainly IS in the running for Taylor Hall next season. Wake me up when this season is over, because like me, it’s gonna be UHG-LEE!

Why is it that they’ll pay 4-5 mil for over the hill players but won’t pay for a guy that can give them long term results?

We area a building team with some youngs chips up and most still developing. We need to level set the expectatations of this years team and make it a good learning experience.

1) Accept a bottom 10 finish.
2) Allow nothing but all out effort every night. (KO sets that bar) Gordo needs to grow as a coach and be willing to discipline slackers.
3) Don’t allow frustrtaion to set in.
4) Sign a vet to compliment Weight (yes make Weight captain). This vet should be willing to play with limited ice time but be a go to guy during key face offs and end of games. This guy should also understand that by game 40 that role will slowly go away by the end of the season. He needs to set an example on and off the ice for these kids. Kinda sounds like Guerin…hummmmm… I still think that was a bad move.
5) Garth needs to take advantage of Chicago’s mistake and grab Sharp. It will cost Witt, but he is almost end of life hockey wise so who cares. Not to mention our sworn enemy Burke wants Sharp as well.
6) Line up goons and just have other teams understand that if you mess with Bailey or JT you will get an ass whoopin’.
7) Buy a 50 gallon barrel of mineral ice. Unless we make a move Rolo is going to end up hockeys version of a pin cushion. He will see pucks in his sleep, while driving, etc.

hope snow understands that once JT signs the contarct the clock is ticking…IF he is as good as the hype no way he want to stick around if we still suck big time into his 2nd year here

Look…it’s simple. We have a habit here of looking and expressing interest in all the free agents out there. But the fact remains we are the leagues true bottom feeders. We only sign the remaining guys who are left out there at the end of their careers with little choice of places to go…for minimum wages. Or we sign a teams player who can’t quite crack the lineup and pray he’s a winner…like the way we got lucky with Mark Streit. But to think we are “players” in free agency is a real chuckle.
