If ownership brings in a new GM That GM will replace Ward. I am a supporter of BT but will quickly turn against him if he doesn't improve the coaching staff.

Who knows you might get a couple free tickets for the advice.

I predict Laine will be traded in the coming weeks. Roslivic was the piece from Wpg that Cbj wanted. Do you think Torts would put up with Laine? Laine gets a bruise or breaks a nail and he is on IR. Please BT NOT a Laine for Money trade.

And we would have a different Coach

Totally agree with this especially the bolded

I for one am for keeping Hanifin. I see a duo of Hanifin/Andersson overtaking Geo/Tanev for the 1st pairing at sometime in the late season. Also I see Kylington as the down the road Brodie replacement but better. His speed is equal and is physically stronger with only his hockey IQ needing to improve..

A question? Could BT sign Kylington to a 1m contract 2020 season and then a week later extend his contract for the 21/22 seasons for lets say 2m each. That would get him signed this year to keep us under the cap and commit to him for a longer period.

It would be tough to lose Gaudreau BUT Bjorkstrand + Andrew Peeke + 1st and a very important 4 m in cap. Now what was done with the 4 m cap would determine if we won the trade and become a better team Gaudreau-less.

Good read and changes things up a bit (I like it). I especially like the Hannifin/ Andersson pairing. I really think we will start seeing positive improvement from Hannifin pared with Andersson.

Something has to change with our lines. Hopefully one or all our proposals will be given a shot. Gaudreau is one of the more exciting players to watch in the league and he is slowly being stifled.

That setup could very well work. I would like to try Tkachuk-Monahan-Lindholm Gaudreau-Bennett-Mangiapane Nordstrom-Backlund-Ryan Lucic-Gawdin-Dube

I'll only be able to say "Damn Brodie What were you thinking" twice a year now.

Wow didn't see that aav coming. Kudos to BT and Mangi. Leaves us with some spare change to shop!! "Perry"?

And we pay for it HOW?

It could set "as you say" a bad precedent; but less so than what I believed Vegas did on the expansion draft taking draft picks to select or not select certain players.
