Of course they will say this, at the minimum, this coach probably works with Bob this season, unless the negations go south and Bob request a trade. But make no mistake , this move was made because of Korpi, Elvis, and Tarasov . They think very highly of Korpi, so much so , they protected him in the expansion, and let Forsberg go in trade .The Bread man might not like this.
Plus , that’s not what I’ve said. I’ve always said I don’t see them resigning him when his contract is up. There is no way you remotely keep your core together , waisting 10 mill at the goalie position . We just saw what OEL signed for , we got a steal in Jones , but don’t assume Werenski takes less or a similiar deal. Other players deals set the market. And with Bob being one of the worst goalies that’s active , in the playoffs , I don’t see them paying him 9-10 million. Just my opinion, but lots of moves seem to reflect a similiar thinkingNot the player, the poster, remember letting Clark go means Bob is gone.
Ahh, the classic deflection of "well, that public statement doesn't back my theory, therefore they're lying".
) I think Anderson and Jenner are the best and/or "only" options. I don't think we can lose Savard or Murray. BUF could flip 1 of Jenner/Anderson, or 1 of their current forwards for a defenseman. You think BUF takes Wennberg straight up? Or you add a 2nd and call it a day?
lets be real, your posting has been pretty garbage and the 2 years prior to this Wennberg and Karlsson actually had damn near the same shots. You say coaching held Karlsson back but Wennberg gets that same coaching and its still his fault because he sucks. You just are never happy unless you are whining about something which is becoming a more common thing on this board by the month
And that disputes my point how ? Torts has told Wennberg to shoot for 2.5 years , he refuses to. I’m not disputing that Torts system isn’t holding back our forwards, but that has little do do with Wennbergs refusal to stick his nose in there and be aggressive with the puck, taking the puck to the net , and try to score goals . Anyone that’s trying to compare Karlsson getting 12 minutes per night , in a defensive checking role to Wennberg is being disingenuous . And yeah I’m sick of Mediocrity, and our fans being ok with it. Vegas is 1 game from the cup, the Cbj have never got out of the first round
. Perhaps you should worry about your own posting. I don’t hate on the jackets , and yes I’m rough on players that don’t perform. I’m highly opinionated , and won’t apoligize for it . One of The reasons this team has been so mediocre for so long is people / fans don’t demand a winner . It’s always an excuse . Bob sucks in the playoffs , it’s because it’s the penguins . Now it’s because he faced the Penguins and the Capitals . The jackets regress this year under Torts , and he has a huge part in them blowing a 2-0 lead , when that teams wins 88% of the time , and it’s “the youngest team in the Nhl, and injuries did us in . I’m tired of the cbj being the only franchise to not win a playoff round , and watching Vegas go to the cup in the first round . So yeah , there’s an ignore button if that bothers you 
Monk,There’s always the ignore button
Obviously that doesn't count because Wennberg is still here and Karlsson isn't. And besides, Karlsson is only allowed to be cited for reasons why we suck, not reasons why things might not be as bad as we thought. That's the rule, y'know.
Viqsi, I've been consistent in my criticisms of Wennberg all season. Yes, I totally believe management better not be like some of our fans, dismissing Karlssons success, as a fluke or unsustainable. There are 2 factors for Karlssons success. One, hes playing in an open style, of speed, speed, and more speed. No more checking role for him, its use your speed to skate our opponent into mistakes, and capitalize. Vegas doesnt have the most talented team in the league, but they are probably the fastest team in the nhl, and Gallant lets them use, what they do best. The other, is flat out something to prove. Both him, and Jam used the summer with a message that they were going to show their former teams that they F'd up. They had something to prove, and used that motivation to fuel their games, to the next level.
