Wilson is valuable. Plenty of teams eat that **** up. Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Buffalo Puffarado would all pay for him.
I really hope Trotz's solution to the top 6 struggling isn't to go back to 8-19-77. Because that line has been bad for two years straight. Go with 90-19-14/8-92-77.
See you guys on Friday and #TopLineBeagle

I think it's time for Vrana to get top 6 ice time.
No idea why Vrana starts off games so well yet barely gets 3rd period minutes and never is used in OT/etc. Trotz is definitely biased to veterans and expects them to always produce/be consistent/etc. know who else acts that way???? The coach for my favorite football team - Marvin Lewis. Both have biased views and both are insanely similar with career resumes IMO.
We have picks and prospects that can be added to deals. You add Schmidt or Wilson or someone else who does nothing just so the incoming roster player takes that persons spot.
We know those two aren't going to get anything valuable in return - but they're both on ELC's and we have picks and other non roster players to get a much better player in return than what those two bring...
What magical cap room is going to be available for these better players?
I don't see why not. Knowing that they were going to be in a 4 on 4 situation for a period of time, it would be one of the safest opportunities they'd have to give him some open ice to play with, and all night he was one of the Caps' best forwards at finding unconventional lanes and hitting them with speed.
Put him out there with Johansson, fast and responsible enough to cover any defensive miscues, while being deft enough to pass with him in the offensive zone. Or Eller, who is already growing chemistry with him.
I know mate. And I'm with you on this. But its trotz hockey so its not gonna happen
It's okay. They'll flip the switch when they need to. I'm sure of it.
1998 was an overachieving run, albeit paved along the way with very favorable early losses by the top of the conference.
The division should be providing plenty of motivation to raise their engagement. But it's not there with a sharp enough point against good teams and at this point teams largely are what they are. They're a good system team because it's fundamentally what Trotz does yet they're also in many ways less than the sum of their parts. Or maybe I just drastically overrate the top six. If so, they'll need a lot going right to make a run and consistently come out on top. Relying on depth rather than sustained elite, top-of-the-lineup performance isn't the answer. The play of 8, 92, 19, 74 and the PP suggests the root of the problem is at the top of the lineup and banking on that to change based on mere whim alone is folly.
I personally am looking forward to hearing the following words and phrases:
-Waffleboarded
-Geometrically
-DRIIIIIIIIIIIVE
-Getting a piece of it was [goaltender]
What are your favorite Doc Emrickisms?
..., the Capstronaut pending parole...

Can someone give me a report on Vrana? I've heard a lot of buzz lately and I'm kinda sad I missed the game because I wanted to see what he was about.
