DJ Smith's Tom Pyatt.

What an loser we've brought to Ottawa as a coach. He was a failure of a defensive coach for Toronto so we let him bring in the two worst D men from there.

We thought last year's team was bad defensively. Just wait.

Chirp leafs D. Proceed to hire D coach make him head coach. Sign their worst D man and trade for their second worse D man.

Is our goal to make the playoffs, or get a better draft pick?

Seems like we may have picked up the right guys according; shrewd move... ;)

...or you know, play the kids and let them develop. I'm assuming Jaros now goes down to the AHL.

3.5 million for Hainsey

So let me get this straight.. In a year where we had traded away our 1st .. we do nothing to shore up the D and Goaltending (for months) ... and finish last.

When we do have our 1st in an excellent draft year where we have a chance of drafting a franchise player.. we shore up the D and sign a bunch of goalies
I mean I wouldn't exactly call obtaining Zaitsev and Hainsey "shoring up the D" lol

If we had kept Ceci and dumped Harpur, then this does make some sense as he is a good place holder....But adding Z for 5 more years on top of this sheesh...

Melnyk doesn't care. He just says stuff to stir the pot and as long as he can squeeze more dollars from this team he literally could not give a shit if he looks like a hypocrite.

Pretty much this....Our only hope is either that free liver lets him down or he decides he should sell

I have a hard time following this board's logic, I admit.

One day, Ceci is the worst player that ever laced them up. The next day, we trade him for another D-man (even if he was the 2nd worst player in history, he should still be a major upgrade according to people's opinions on Ceci), and people are still mad.

One day, people want to tank hardcore. The next day, moves are made to be sure we don't compete (Ennis and Hainsey ouch), and people are still mad

lol
