Is that the goal when you have the two best players in the league? Make the playoffs?

It’s to win the cup, but this might shock you, you don’t even have a chance to do that if you don’t qualify for it.

The rookie Brock Faber...so far so good.
Played 23.22 TOI last night. 3 minutes more than Brodin, the closet one too him.
If Rossi reaches his potential and Boldy continues his play counterpunching 1/3/1 Minnesota going to be an awful tough out come playoffs.

Broberg did a little better last night basically 15 mins staying out of trouble. Didn't really help the cause but then again never really hurt the cause either.
By the way Johnny K played 19.15 TOI on the second pair. Was not on the ice like David Savard for the shortie against. The more Savard's ice time is reduced the more Kovy's is increased.
If Savard continues this 'bad' play he will soon be eating popcorn.

So I don't know what's going on with Cody Ceci.
Is he hurt? Having a slow start? Is He cooked?
I don't know, but he's been atrocious to start this season. This why I'm big on putting him on waivers. 3 reasons
1. He might be claimed, which would be a hole that has to be filled, but his cap hit is gone and the Oilers could more easily just straight acquire someone.
2. If he clears waivers unclaimed, he might be easier to move because whatever team that takes him on doesn't have to try and waive him.
3. If he is cooked, he can be sent down for a small cap saving and kinda adds depth.
I know it's early, but he's been brutal and I don't know that it turns around

Ok, without Spurgeon right now the Minny defense is struggling hard so, it might have been necessity over design him getting that icetime

Nashville needs a veteran to replace him and I have the perfect one, Cody Ceci

More Ceci trade stuff, but an idea I think might work
Ceci for David Savard.
I know Savard isn't the first name people go to, but he's big and physical, and as more of a stay at home defenseman, he might be able to support Nurse when he ranges.

Cody and Broberg for Pesce.

Ceci is a guy that IMO we should look to upgrade on. 3RD can be filled by Broberg, Desharnais or another cheaper player. Ceci is not a 2RD and definitely not a 1RD, he also makes too much for a 3RD on our team. I wish that we would've pulled the trigger on a deal in the offseason.

they wont accept, they are competing and neither piece helps right now.
That is a horrible defence. Descharnais should not be a full-time #6. all it takes is one injury and we have Descharnais as our #5 and Gleason as #6

You need to watch Savard this year before you decide on that. He is playing so bad it would make you puke. Both Harris and Kovy playing up the lineup and Savard spending time on the third pair.

Ceci did play quite poorly...but just when your about to curse him last night he makes a wonder transition stretch pass that looked Boumeester like--showing great vision.
Highly inconsistent and we need to replace him before the deadline but we have no one now to move up the lineup.

Ha ha.....and you are what 12? I make a comment and you act like a child calling names. How is that a better defence? Give up 2 of our top 6 dmen and elevate Descharnais to fulll-time #6 and Gleason to #7 and as I said, one injury away from Descharnais and Gleason being our 3rd pairing....basically an AHL 3rd pairing....and you think I am the stupid one? Ummmm ya ok.
What does an 18 year old in the system have an relevance to now in a win-now mode?
Not to mention we would be one right handed dman injury away from Phil Kemp being in our top 6. smh

I mean yes, but they can get a depth veteran for pretty cheap honestly.
Sure, but I don't like him there either, I am sincerely worried he's cooked as a player. That's why waivers.
How would they get that depth dman? Pesce costs as much as both Ceci and Broberg together. With what cap would they get that dman?

Dear gawd chill out. There would be cap space. You could probably get a retention on a depth guy or some on Pesce as he's a UFA at the end of the deal.

I don't get the Ceci hate. The guy has completely blown away my expectations since coming here. He makes relatively little money and has absolutely helped Nurse out on that pairing.
I can't imagine getting a significant upgrade on him at his cap hit.

It is a simple question. why are you getting to upset? It is all easy to sit back and throw out silly things like that. I dont think you get it. It doesnt matter what retention you get, with Pesce for Broberg and Ceci they are up against the cap. Would really love to hear your proposal of an example of someone they could trade for and for what cost.

You skipped over the key point. Scoring at rates not seen in 30 years.
If Mc was still a 100 point player and Drai 77 points the team is doing a lot worse these last few years

Ceci is exactly the defenseman he's been his whole career. We signed him because we needed a competent veteran defenseman (and desperate for a right-shot) and like every other UFA had to pay a bit extra to get him. He was put on the top pair with Nurse his first year here because we didn't have anyone better and he had a career year. That's not his norm. Every other team he's been on he's been a reliable 4 at his best, and a 5-6 dman at his worst which he still is for us.
