I think we should if protected a budding player with a cheap contract and left GMGM with the choice of desirable players with contracts that would be a detourant so he takes Grubby, etc. So we end up in the same, or better, salary situation, plus Schmidt, and worse case,eventually having to choose between Schmidt and Carlson
GMBetaMale had the biggest advantage of any GM. It was his former boss for fuck sakes. He scouted the players with him, he knew his philosophies, he had cap room, he had everything . . . But now we have a shitty DCorps and GMGM has an elite Dman thats better then anyone we have, particularly the ones that were protected.

100%. You protect the best PLAYERS with the most future upside. Not by position. You can always fill in.

Someone explain to me how a professional hockey team in a game 5 of a 2-2 series doesn't show up for the first 21 minutes of the game? Unfuckingreal.

Odd that you like Schmidt since he is one of those pucking moving dmen that you normally don't like. I still don't think Schmidt is a shutdown dman. Vegas is playing a defensive system that relies in all 5 guys. They dont really have a shutdown guy.
Apparently we don't either. Niskanen is suoposed to be but he is playing like a rookie. He has been our worst player tonight, although Orlov is giving him a good run.
ArJunaZ:
Our lack of passing skills continues to blow my mind. I fucking hate the dump ins and pass and pray bullshit. We are still refusing to crash the net. We missed a few great chances at goals if only more than two Caps were in the offensive zone instead of waiting back at the blue line. It's not like the Bolts were all back on the blue line too. The Bolts were back checking in force, so we need to be in there FIGHTING. IT'S FUCKING MIND BOGGLING. You can't score unless you attack!
