People have legit criticisms. Very few people are "panicking."
I consider myself to be an honest critic -- and many people here would say I'm among the loudest critics.
And I put them as a team that finishes 6th to 10th. Hardly panicking -- considering the difference between 6th and 10th might be 6-8 points.
Right now, we're 4-3-1.
And we got gifted a win by the refs vs St. Loo.
I'd say we're heading straight for 6-10 territory.
So what the hell are you boasting about?
I don't think anyone is hitting the panic button
Have you not been reading this board lately?
You obviously haven't been.
Who are the people who are panicking?
Or do you not understand what panic means?
So........Smith is out with injury....I think maybe it's time to make a trade for someone. We needed it before all this happened anyway...
I like our offense. It's the defense that really scares the crap out of me.
I had high expectations of Kronwall being a decent top 2 dman. He's been a complete let down. Without Stuart bailing him out, he's garbage.
I would trade him in a package deal for Boumeester in a heartbeat.

NO we dont trade Kronwall..
the problem is he isnt a #1 dman but he is being tasked with that role and all that comes with it.
he is legit #2 dman
trade for mike green if he is available and let him run the offence from the blueline and let kronwall sweep up the rest

That's assuming Kronwall can play decent defense.
Problem here is your observations don't necessarily support your conclusion.
You had high expectations for Kronwall, presumably because he was really good playing with a steady, defensive defenseman.
So why not bring a Stuart type in, rather than ship out a cap-friendly, core player?
I would rather Bouwmeester. maybe package up Smith to score him.
Wings supposedly at FLA-BUF game today.
Ellerby? Sekera?
