I hope we tank and get a top 5 pick after the lottery results. In would not be pushing for our injured players to return to action soon; let them fully recover for next season.

Possibly - I’ve considered that but I can’t figure out why DJ would tell Formy to avoid contact - he’s a “hard, big, and fast” style coach who loves contact. Formy projects as a physical 3LW perfectly suited to fast, physical play. Norris, Stutzle, Pinto etc are all younger and “allowed” to deliver the odd knock.
I can see the coaching staff focusing on having the forwards covering their man, playing solid positional hockey, smart defence rather than going for big hits. Similar to the way Borowiecki changed from a heat seeking missile into a more controlled defenceman.

It will be very difficult.
I don't think there's any chance Murray gets traded even with a sweetener. It'll be buyout or keep him imo and I think something happens here just to be rid of the distraction.
Zaitsev will take a decent sweetener and some salary back most likely. I'm 50/50 on that happening, but I think there will be effort to do so at minimum.
White hopefully can just be moved with some mild salary retention, but I think this is the least likely out of the 3 to be moved.

Yea, how sad is that. These predictions are not even asinine.
I think White's gone for sure. He was in trade rumor talks, Bruce said he's being actively shopped around, and his buyout is peanuts. White is gone for sure.
Moreover, bringing in Hamonic it means Zaitsev's days are numbered, imo. Either him or Brannstrom. I do not foresee us at all going into next season with both Brannstrom and Zaitsev. Since Brannstrom is still young, and Thomson knocking on the door, Zaitsev is as good as gone. But this is the only one I truly have reservations about.
Chabot-Hamonic
Sanderson-Zub
MDZ/Holden/Brann-Brann/Zaitsev/Holden
Too much congestion, especially with Lassi Thomson and JBD down in Belleville nearing long looks.
IMO, Matt Murray is also gone after that contract extension for Forsberg. No budget team signs a backup for almost 3 million when their "starter" makes 6.25. Unless we expect to LTIR Matt Murray; which is same as us basically moving him.
Writing is on the wall for him.
Ergo, at minimum, I expect White, Murray, and 1 of MDZ/Brann/Zaitsev gone.

While I would like to see them send a few guys packing I doubt it all happens over this summer or even next season. If they are again out of the playoffs next season then I could see them moving on from a few UFAs & maybe a couple of players if they can find a trading partner.
If not they could be forced to carry them a little longer. I would like to see them move on from Zaitsev, White, Brannstrom & probably Murray although at times he has played some great games, but seems injury prone. If we add Tierny to that group that's around $20 mil that could go towards other players & likely will as they move on from them. I also expect them to move on from Gaudette, Gambrell, Ennis & Mete. Watson will be in his last yr next season & it could be his last yr here as well.

Zero chance they free $20 million from moving those guys unless they sweeten with a tonne of 1RD picks.
LTIR Murray on whatever his condition currently - it’s the easiest way to get someone to else you pay his money and all signs suggest he’s happy to collect.

I'm quite sure that if Kelly doesn't work out on the top line they will change it up as they often do & lines don't always stay the same. The other option would be to put Batherson back on the top line & put C. Brown with Stutzle. Kelly's fast & has shown he can score so it will be interesting how they do. I also don't think it matters who plays with Tkachuk & Norris those guys are going to score regardless of who plays with them. Maybe Parker Kelly turns into Chris Kelly who did very well when he got promoted to the top line. 
It's much more likely that DJ simply doesn't want to mess with his other lines & is trying to build some consistency.

That is ridiculous.
Guess I should delete my post about a guy like Boucher not being a good fit with Brady/Norris...NHL coach is doing it so it must make sense!
That's just like your, "subjective reality" man.
Lots of others think it's just plain weird.
“Lots of others” Lol, weak sauce.
You drag a great movie through the mud when you botch a delivery this bad.
Be better.

Nothing ridiculous at all… Kelly is working hard and at 5 goals is scoring at a higher rate than many other forwards we have tried in a scoring role.
They have a depleted roster - nothing to worry about.
I watched Fridays game I shit you know I had ZERO idea he was even playing until he played a puck with a high stick and they showed a replay like late in the third.

The pressure of high expectations is just not for everyone. Some players thrive under the pressure while others let it get to their head and it completely changes their progression curve.
A player who thinks he is getting picked in the second or third round that gets picked in the 1st round now thinks they have to be something they are not, and something definitely changes in their game or their training, schedule, routine, mentality towards the game etc. which ultimately affects their development.
Was never worried and I understand why - same reason Mete was a winger last night.
Still seems odd with the options they had but whatever.

Weird, he's done nothing in the AHL. I'd rather have Soko up, or give Jarventie one carrot. But whatev.
