[Stars99Lobo37]

6 in a row.

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Just outgoalied.

 

[Elysian]

What a crap game. Again.

 

[Noodletoro]

Sign some dude on the free agent market for 3-4 mill.

You might want to look at what is actually available.

 

[Bhrangerfan0809]

Burn everything

I hear Brodeur and Thomas are still out there

 

[Noodletoro]

I hear Brodeur and Thomas are still out there

next season there is Antti Niemi and then...nothing.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Paniccccccc (for real this time)

We could pick up Dan Ellis, I heard the Stars have a great goalie coach who could really do something with that guy!

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

This team is ****ed if they don't figure something out and fast.

 

[Henderson33]

So Jason, how do you feel about your decision at this point?

 

[Alistar]

Nothing happened for this team when the game was tied (and winnable). The only time they actually put some effort into it was when they were down and out.

1-2-4 at home reflects on the quality of the team. They're just lucky a couple more of those OT loses weren't regulation. Not to mention the only game they've won at home they got outshot by a ridiculous margin and it was only fluke luck on the goals that saw them through.

I would say at this point the train is well off the tracks and just about to slide over the cliff.

What about Harding? Besides the wall kicking, he's not too horrible...

 

[Alistar]

Who the **** cares who our goaltender is, put ****ing Anders Lindback there for all I care. When they fix the rest of this team I'll start worrying about a bad goaltender.

The point would be to get rid of a terrible contract (6 million for 4 more years for an aging goaltender who is average at best at this point of his career).

He isn't a pending UFA and Minnesota isn't going to trade him within the division.

EDIT: Wait he is a UFA next season. Don't think he is much of an option though.

He is UFA 2015 if I read correctly

The money you would save trading Lehtonen and bringing in a middling goaltender at $3-4 million is nothing. Especially for a team that has $30 million opening in cap space.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

Team isn't getting fixed until the defense does....that and the god awful absolutely f'ing ridiculous turnovers that are driving me haywire.

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Harding could never play an NHL game again, hardly worth banking on being your #1.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

We've lost 9 of 13 games. So that's fun.

 

[Satan]

We're getting McDavid it's literally no fear.

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

Let's be realistic. We're not getting a top five pick.

 

[Satan]

That's what you think

not with that attitude!

yeah well the interesting idea would be that you could quite possibly save that 3 million with no drop off in performance. It also gives you more flexibility moving forward with your roster with regards to Jack Campbell.

It's a waste of time to talk about it though. No GM in this league worth his salt would trade for that contract... So that leaves Craig MacTavish, but we know how superstitious teams are about trading inside the conference.
