GDT: G6: Sharks at Wild - 7pm CT (FSN)

[Wabit]

On the podcast with Russo the other day, he did say he had a long term plan. I hope he realizes this team can't make a significant playoff run, and doesn't let being in a playoff position at the deadline impede that plan.

Well he's not going to say "I have no clue what I'm doing."

 

[Ban Hammered]

There are or were probably other options out there in the last year.

Well that's definitive...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

It deserves to be beat.

 

[Ban Hammered]

We could have afforded to not trade Staal.

Even with these guys...I don't miss Staal.

 

[Minnesnota]

Perfect Parise interview

Think Lou was watching?

 

[AKL]

Well that's definitive...

And your assertion that there were simply zero other options than Bjugstad, Rask and Bonino is rooted in firsthand knowledge of the conversations between GMs, or?

 

[AKL]

Well he's not going to say "I have no clue what I'm doing."

I tend to believe he has a longer term plan. Whether it's a good one or not is a different conversation.

 

[2Pair]

Think Lou was watching?

Lou would be pissed that he said anything to the media

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Even with these guys...I don't miss Staal.

Yeah, why wouldn't this team miss a competent top 6 center?

 

[Ban Hammered]

And your assertion that there were simply zero other options than Bjugstad, Rask and Bonino is rooted in firsthand knowledge of the conversations between GMs, or?

I'm saying if there were ..it takes two to tango and if the price is too high...you don't deal.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Yeah, why wouldn't this team miss a competent top 6 center?

That's where we differ...I no longer think he is one.

 

[TaLoN]

 

[Wabit]

That's where we differ...I no longer think he is one.

He is a center, MarJo isn't.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Kwik trip commercials are awful

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That's where we differ...I no longer think he is one.

Yeah, that 58 point pace last year screamed "3rd liner".

 

[Ban Hammered]

Yeah, that 58 point pace last year screamed "3rd liner".

Past results do not indicate future ones. Time catches up with every player.

 

[AKL]

Kwik trip commercials are awful

I don't miss those. Or any of the other local commercials.

And Staal's cap hit was cheaper, but what's a million bucks of cap space, anyway?

 

[AKL]

I still don't have an issue with the Staal trade. I can grasp the reasoning, and even if Johansson isn't a center, he's been solid since game two.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Past results do not indicate future ones. Time catches up with every player.

Possible. Right now, I wouldn't have minded finding out for ourselves.

 

[Ban Hammered]

And Staal's cap hit was cheaper, but what's a million bucks of cap space, anyway?

Guerin didn't want Staal here...I'm fine with that.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Possible. Right now, I wouldn't have minded finding out for ourselves.

The guy in charge thought different.

 

[AKL]

I know everyone said they weren't expecting Rossi to make the team, but I have to wonder if Guerin didn't secretly expect him to make the team and help the top 6.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

The guy in charge thought different.

The guy in charge put these centers together. He's not beyond questioning.
