Glad you mentioned the overpaid bum Goodrow. Wonder how overpaid he is right now?

 

[SA16]

What about crediting Dolan for firing the previous regime?

Gorton deserves credit too, Fox, Chytil, Lafy, Lindgren, Trouba

How about some praise for Gorton

I said when the Buch trade happened that Gorton wouldn't make a losing trade that makes your team better, and that clearly Drury would. I wasn't happy with the trade, and I know that Blais has been hurt, but clearly Drury's attitude towards team building has something to it.

Unironically one of the best owners in hockey.

4D chess. He made his 1st trade a clear loss so other teams’ GMs would feel comfortable he won’t fleece them

 

[NYRKing]

He really does. Having the cap at the TDL and the moves made have been money. A ton of credit to him.

thank you Tom Wilson

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

thank you Tom Wilson

And Matt Martin. Give the Islanders their credit too! You know their loser fans are here reading. Their season doesn't end until ours does.

Drury deserves a nice Christmas.

I was 100% on board with the firing after hearing how it all went down. And I hate saying that since I loved JD.

Dolan deserves a ton of credit since he stays out of the way and dumps money into the organization. You cannot ask for more.

Dolan just had a hissy fit that happened to work out.

This team could lose to the lightning and Dolan could decide he wants a team full of eskimos and fire Drury and hire all of Alaska

 

[Chaels Arms]

If we could get video footage of him this upcoming offseason hanging up the phone when Strome's agent calls him to discuss a new contract I'd probably be ready to put him into the hockey hall of fame immediately.

Dolan hired Glen Sather, who had the reputation the best GM in the league, gave him total control, and stuck with him until he retired.

Don’t forget Braun, significant upgrade over Nemeth.

You are right! My bad.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Absolutely...our GAA since Braun came in for Nemeth has been a huge improvement.

Gorton deserves credit too, Fox, Chytil, Lafy, Lindgren, Trouba

Not to diminish Gorton but Fox, Lafy, and Trouba were all either no brainers and/or guys that specifically wanted to come only here.

 

[Narcissus]

I know everyone feels attached to Schneider but are we going to be able to hide a 20yo 10 minute a night defenseman against Tampa?

Maybe a mistake not acquiring another vet?

Nemeth is pretty obviously not the guy they thought he was and will get a nice trip to Arizona or a buyout this summer.

Braun seemed like a nice 6/7 pick up but Drury forgot about #5? hindsight 20/20.

Take a look at how much Cal Foote is playing for Tampa. The "greatest team of all time" Colorado Avalanche are forced to play and shelter the absolute f*** out of Jack Johnson now since Girard is out for the year. I have no idea how the minutes have been rolled for for Edmonton.

I was annoyed Braun-Schneider wasnt playing more after that trade. Theyre still bad, but without that trade we are out in 5 in round 1 and none of the kids get this experience.

I'm gonna diminish Gorton. I loved him at the time, but looking back...what did he really do? The Zibanejad trade is probably the best thing he did. The next best thing he did was have the guts to tear it all down, but that's the easy part. I like drafting Igor, Fil, and while I f***ing hate Strome that trade was robbery.

Kakko, Laf, Fox for a couple 2nds, Trouba for Pionk, signing Panarin were all easy moves.

Signing a college coach? wtf was that shit?

Idk I just dont feel like we have a ton to show for his time here, he laid some of the groundwork sure but Drury's deadline was master class and is paying dividends currently.

Fair enough.

FWIW Edmonton seems pretty balanced with ice time. Tampa rolls 7D with Bogosian Foote and Ruuta all getting 8-14 minutes a game. Colorado is 5D plus JMFJ.
