Be more predictable, Ken. I wonder if Hudler and Kindl are on the radar too.
Why for ****'s sake are we signing guys who WE BENCH to 3 year deals? I just don't understand ANYTHING this team does?
When he said during his draft interview that "he plans to make the playoffs" and the winked, chills went down my spine. I just knew that meant signing a bunch of washed up guys during FA.
Holland is the very picture of short term thinking. He has no real long term plan other than to keep drafting, and hope they land somebody good. All of his rosters are created in a mad scramble, these days. It's not about who they should sign, but just who's willing to sign. They're just going to take whoever they can get, long-term consequences be damned. Because they have to make the playoffs, evidently.
Oh and with all this talk about d-men, people seem to forget that we were 4th to last place in goals for category.

In other words, we suck at all areas of the ice.
At this point I'll take anyone that's entertaining. Bonus points if they have a name that's ripe for puns.
Eaves grew the best beard, so I'll put him on my short list for sure.

Eaves already re-signed in Anaheim.
In my opinion the result of being near the bottom in offensive production has more to do with the system Blashill is trying to implement and less so on offensive firepower. On paper, I'd say we are middle of the pack in offensive capabilities. We aren't great, but we do have a fair amount of players that can contribute, if given the opportunity to play (Tatar, Nyquist, Z, Mantha, Larkin, AA, Nielsen)
