This team needs to do what Calgary did. Spend a couple 1st round picks and get a few good dmen to help out Larsson and Nurse.
I dunno, I'm torn. This suck seems perpetual and not sure if anyone can save this roster. Chia did his damage.

I get the feeling it's going to be "begging" more so than "asking".

Hope there is at least a letter from Bob Nicholson included talking about the bright future with guys like Patrick Russell in the org.

I think the org actually does like to take a threatening tone more than begging historically. Like it's a privileged for you to have the chance to toss them more money.

He blamed the course of the game mostly on himself. said he was playing terrible, and guaranteed that was going to change.
When players recognize their problems and that they are a problem I usually have faith they can turn it around.

Still 0-for on the 5 on 3 this season. That was the turning point IMO. Awful, awful powerplay.

This is a team that needs to be humiliated to get up for its games. I just don't get how they haven't exorcized that demon.

Larsson really needs to be the leader on that defense as well. Enough with passive play.

There's nothing wrong with this idea assuming you're actually getting good d-men who are young enough to contribute long term. Someone in that 23-26 range who is either an RFA or signed for a number of years.

Problem is that that relies on our GM being capable of making such a deal.
