[Finlandia WOAT]

What GM would want this job?

I hear Rich Cho (soon to be former Charlotte Hornets GM) is available.

PP for Canes- Zykov goal guaranteed

What GM would want this job?

They just hired Scott Darling's sister

 

[The Faulker 27]

Putting Darling in every game is the smartest thing they can do at this point. It ain't gonna be a pretty end to the season but we need dat draft position.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Aho snipe!

 

[HisIceness]

Aho!

Aho scores- greedy finn didn't even give a chance to Zykov to come on...

 

[HisIceness]

As bleak as things look, Aho is definitely a nice building piece.

The problem is that the way he's playing, there's NO WAY you can bring him back next year and say we have credible goaltending

Name a Goalie in the NHL who was this bad that just turned it around in one off season.

Ethan Bear gives me antics flashback.

 

[My Special Purpose]

Darling plays goal like it's literally illegal for a goalie to freeze the puck.

She trades him to CHI and resigns. It's a sound plan.

We don't need him. Buyout.

 

[Unsustainable]

Aho is so awesome.

Rest of the team, eh.

 

[MinJaBen]

We’ll ruin him.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Aho is so awesome.

Rest of the team, eh.

Turbo is a nice Robin to his Batman.

That's the exact point, when (not if) he keeps playing the way he has through the end of the season there's no way any prospective GM can look at him and say he still has an NHL job to start next season. Either he'll be in Charlotte or he'll be bought out, and either is fine by me.

The down side is Ward probably comes back for another year but to rid ourselves of Darling that's a price I'm very willing to pay.

 

[My Special Purpose]

If Lindholm had the same motor and desire to be great that Aho has, he'd be as good as Aho.

 

[HisIceness]

Aho is so awesome.

Rest of the team, eh.

Slavin/Pesce are worth keeping around too.

 

[DaveG]

Slavin/Pesce are worth keeping around too.

Slavin, Pesce, Hanifin on D
Aho, Turbo, McGinn, Staal up front

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

theres a nice supporting cast here. replacing ryan with an actual #1 center and getting good goaltending and a good coach gets this into the playoffs easy.

Just my opinion, but I have serious doubts Darling is going to be a member of this team much longer, even he didn't start the rest of the season. I know no one is alluding to getting rid of him, but you can't watch this guy and think this is fixable, or that he's going to turn it around.
