McMike says fuck it, Im not passing it to anyone but Coyotes today!

[Surreylily]

Looks like our fellas have finally woken up.   Too little too late?

[Mickstix]

Wide awake this team struggles to score. It was too late in the 1st period.

welp, so much for that

[Surreylily]

At least it wasn't a shutout.

And I didn't have to lose any sleep.   

[Mickstix]

No Ovi goals and smoked by Phoenix. Oof.


I'll be pissed if they move Mantha but not Pacioretty. No reason his old ass needs to be taking up ice the rest of the way. Scratch him if you have to. If they had any D prospects worth a fuck I'd say do the same with Carlson. Time to scrap any current plans and think future.

[Surreylily]

Toodle pip.     

[BlackIce]

Now the team has to make its decision about deadline strategy.  A game with Pittsburgh yet before the deadline, but you have to know what you're going to do and start working the phones before deadline day.


I realize that some players' feelings could be hurt and they'll say management isn't supporting them -- but it's time to sell.

Iorio appears to be having a good year at Hershey, but he isn't really an offensive threat.

If you can’t beat Arizona, a team that has lost 14 of the last 15, playing at home, with your playoff hopes on the line, then you better being sellers at the deadline.   Jensen, Mantha, Pacioretty, Dowd, even Charlie should be traded for picks [and Charlie and Dowd better be a high pick cause they’re signed for a reasonable amount next year].

Yea, that's what we need though.


As for selling. Just hope GMBM realizes guys are for sale, not ON sale. Dowd, Charlie and Mantha should all demand high returns. Take Pacioretty, or Edmondson for pucks. Jensen for pucks and sticks. lol

[Beaglefan2]

I actually think they could get a pretty decent return for Edmundson.  Playoff teams will want his physicality - which he can bring if he wants to.  I think he is also viewed as a "steady" veteran defenseman.  They definitely would get a 3rd rounder for him, maybe even a 2nd?


Jenson also could bring a decent return.  He is a good skating puck mover and I think they at least get a 3rd round pick for him - although his $4 million contract for the next 2 years will probably be a bit of an issue.  If it were just in the $3 million range, I think he would be attractive. 


So, I think Edmundson definitely gets traded and Jensen stays.

[richkrt99]

Edmunson, Mantha and Dowd have the highest value IMO

All three guys would help a playoff team
I would think Mantha is a tasty morsel because if he's a bust there is no lingering contract...he's an easy choice for a contender and his size helps too.
dowd contract value is low so thats attractive as well.  Same for edmunson...i think there will be several teams interested in a big stable D man for a playoff run.  You cant have enough of those in a long playoff run

FFS - get on with it already
