I have my point of view ;;...and the integrity thereof..if you don't like it .... too bad.!..hava nice day!... fellers..
I don't see it. Was a great first half of the season, but as a great coach once said, "they are who we thought they were".
Many teams loaded up and improved, Guelph got worse (which is fine) but it just means the last 26 games are going to be tougher than the ones that preceded them.
I just wish they had sold more. I don't see a real reason for keeping some of these players around they did, but then again, I'd make a horrible GM.
I see them finishing right around .500 by the end of the season....around 10 or so wins in the last 26 games. A better season than many had envisioned, but not when you consider they were in first place at or around Christmas.
Like Watcher said, yay for a higher pick!
long held that cup teams are built from goal out..our tending future is great.Your first half was a surprise to all considering the hit you took via graduation. You overachieved in large part due to the emergence of Daws and Gogolev.
Kudos to George for replenishing draft picks but I’d have sold harder at the deadline. I’d have shopped Daws and taken the best I could get for him. His value would never be higher than it was leading up to the deadline and with multiple teams looking for goaltending, surely they get a good return for him.
I understand George is rolling the dice that all three of Daws, Gogolev and Hillis will play OA seasons, but selling one or more of them off could have given you the best stocked draft cupboard in the conference.
Get Chayka off the pp. brutalDaws and Gogolev will be back next year, you can quote me on it. Hillis is likely gone unless it's another Phillips.
If NTC's were in effect, as I suspect, the hope is getting a return for Gogolev and Daws next season. I agree Bennett will likely be a good future starter, but we would then have 0 backup had Daws left at the deadline. Leaving Bennett under fire after a hard sell.
So what you would be looking at in that instance is that George didn't trade away Hillis. Oh well, he's the captain on a very young team. Lalonde, Hawel, and Popovich trades still put us in O.K. asset shape, now it's up to good drafting and hopefully recouping a few more picks next year.
Ownership group made a huge mistake not unloading players at the deadline. Back to reality.
Once Daws is back to himself we can cause a few upsets in the playoffsAgain, the players they could unload will be back next year, at least this way they make the playoffs. They already unloaded 3 big names this year they just did it pre-deadline to make room for youngsters.
That is far from certain.at least this way they make the playoffs.
That is far from certain.
In my opinion they need to sit Chayka for a couple of games. Not sure what is going on with him but his play or lack thereof is a detriment to the team. Way too many turnovers, lack of fight in the corners and just not enough of the wanting to play. I'm also seeing this happening with Wainman. It's very concerning. Obliviously there needs to be a different work ethic for the defensemen. They can't allow Daws or Bennett to be used as target practice all game long.Get Chayka off the pp. brutal
Agreed.. but liking the new D .. # 3.. more every day... the team seems to be flat.. the recipe is just not cookin up right...is it dressing room?.. coaching?.. it was all tikity boo before.. is it the tikity or the boo that needs a tuneup..they're gonna be OK ..?..In my opinion they need to sit Chayka for a couple of games.
