You mean, Lowe, Tambelinni and Chiarlelli right? Because Chia did the same thing as the other two last year and you want him to do the same thing this year.
Yeah if you ignore the part where Chia actually added, you know, good players.
You win and lose in this league with your top line players, not your bottom two lines and bottom dmen.
You win in this league with depth and good D and, here's the kicker, not playing players above their level of ability.
Execution? You mean you want to get better bottom line players and lower end dmen but not pay the price needed to get these kind of guys?
No, you pay the price needed. That price isn't Hall, Nuge etc, though.
Well making no meaningful moves has them spinning their wheels and that is exactly what you want to continue.
I can't tell if you're not reading my posts or are being obtuse on purpose or what. They need to make meaningful moves. But they don't have to blow things up to do so. How is this so hard to grasp?
You build the top end of your roster and then fill in the holes. The oilers and obviously some on here feel that you fill in the bottom part of your roster 1st and then hope the holes in the top half just disappear somehow by magic.
Whatever holes are in the top half pale to insignificance compared to the holes elsewhere on the roster.
It's baffling that people can look at this lineup on paper, even when 100% healthy, and determine that the top of the order is what's keeping them from gliory.
This was our opening night D-corps:
Klefbom
Sekera
Fayne
Reinhart
Schultz
Gryba
Two top four D, three bottom pairing D, one AHL D. And it got worse from there.
The bottom six:
Lander
Hendricks
Korpikoski
Letestu
Gazdic
Yakupov
With the possible exception of Yak, that's basically two fourth lines.
But sure, yeah: it's Hall and co's fault.
