Should have gone for ham house and taken reimer for the 5th rounder or whatever he cost.

Johnny Oduya, the biggest piece of poo poo on the roster.

**and with the way our management values veterans, they'll probably re-sign Travis Moen to a three year contract as they let Val Nichushkin walk off to Russia.

..... You may be forgetting a couple players

Nill has been competent at building a roster and a drat theif in trades. Then he went with niemi and handcuffed himself. Then he addressed their defensive problems by getting Russell, who hasn't helped a whole lot (if at all).

I really love the type of team he's built but the rush moves to fix things now on such a deep and young roster baffles me.

Niemi isn't that bad but signing him to go tandem with Lehtonen was just dumb, locking up way too much money for two goalies that have the potential to just be mediocre. Combine that with a terrible defense (trading for Kris Russell haha) and a coach that I've never been impressed with...


The Stars should fire Ruff right now and hire Boudreau before this series is over

Ruff is okay but I'd take Bruce in a heartbeat. Russell hasn't been as bad as I was expecting but he's still bad. Lethonen cost them a couple seasons already. Anyone thinking he could go tandem instead of trying trade magic or letting him rot in the a simply never watches him over the past 3 years. Niemi could have been average or this, I guess.

There were a glut of available young goalies of replacement level or better and nill just gave the two headed finn the nod. Hard to be too upset about the best offer some team in the league winning the toughest division but still...

Really depressing thing is that a team this deep and young could fail to make the playoffs next year.

This is highly unlikely.

Chicago is going to have a down year next year due to Panarin basically hitting every bonus sending them into cap hell. Winnipeg might squeak in but I doubt it as it will be Pavelec's last year making GBS threads up their chances. Colorado will stay bad because Roy is still their coach. Minnesota will continue to be mediocre and forgettable. Dallas wont win the division again but all theyre really competing for is the 2/3 spot with Nashville.

Two seasons ago they were 2nd in scoring with almost as much depth and missed.

I'll be home in like an hour and a half, so we need at least another OT and a half.

Well, they did what I wanted and went to 3 OT but my truck blew up and I'm presently blocking a lane on a major street and waiting for a tow. But I get to catch it on my mobile, so I've got that going for me.

Feel like I jinxed the Sharks just now. Oh well, got to see the 1 minute that mattered I guess.
