Daisy, this team is unpredictable. Remember last year? California trip was supposed to kill us. Well we beat 2/3 and then the wheels fell off.
I see the same thing happening. They will "wake" up for a while, win 3 of those 4 games, everyone will be happy again and then they will go on another losing streak.
Team needs to trade Kessel, Phaneuf, waive Clarkson, trade Lupul, Bozak, Franson, Gardiner etc.
Get rid of all the players not willing to give a 100% or ones that can't be signed.
Then go ahead with Nazem Kadri as the #1C, Santorelli as the 2nd line C, Willy as the 3rd line C.
The only players I see giving a nightly effort: both goalies, Santorelli, Komarov, Kadri, Winnik, Booth. Rest can just go **** off.
