I thought that this club was turning things around. We had a much better 6-3-0 stretch, but now have lost 3 straight again.
This kind of stuff happens when you get the job from a do nothing GM right before the start of the season. He must have been partying like it was Spring Break the entire offseason. Not enough on the bottom 2 lines, not enough defense after the 2 stars. No backup goaltender, I've had to play Luongo every game. If I didn't have Bobrovsky I'd have the worst prospect ranking in the league. No 1st round pick this year of course, seems like this occurs whenever I take over a team.
Now that I'm done with my rant for you media types, here's what I want to do with this team. I really could go either way, but I'd like to focus on getting this team ready for 2011-2012.
I'm absolutely not trading Zetterberg or Kesler. Same goes for Lidstrom, he should be back next season.
Bobrovsky will probably be traded sometime. I'm willing to talk about him. I want at least 3 assets back (one forward or Dman, and two prospects/1st round picks). Tim Thomas returned a top 6 forward and a starting goaltender. Jonas Hiller returned Armstrong and 2 1st round picks. Bob will be a good starter on an ELC.
My defenders other than Lidstrom or Campbell are available. Cullimore could be rented out for a draft choice. Salei or Hainsey could be traded too. Alberts is under contract, but he could be moved also.
Up front, Havlat is available. I need a 2nd line center next year so that Kesler and Zetterberg could play together. Holmstrom could be traded. Grier is available for re-renting. Landon Wilson available if anyone has injury trouble up front.
