Anyway, I agree from my limited perspective....Hughes doesn't move the stud top 2 D metre much for me.

Personally, were I making the decisions, I'd be listening on anyone other than EP and even on him if the deal was to good to pass up.

5th you are indeed one glass is half full cat.
I guess it’s something. He’s a terrific offensive young player but he has been coughing the puck up pretty regularly this season. He gets mauled around his own net. I like D men who can actually play some D too.
We could use a Brad May style forward who pastes the opposition when they get too handsy with Hughes. Or, just forwards in general who hang back, and assist the D in our own zone. Mumble, mumbkle, mumble. Team structure. mumble system. mumble...
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

He isn’t. Those guys can all defend and put up the points. Dobson and Seider will be great all around guys down the road.

Mixed in with Blondie.

Funny the guy throwing rocks hangs drywall, wears leggings even though he has razor thin bird legs, has a skullet, a beach ball boiler, smokes copious amounts of rock, purchases jugs of royal red wine with handles on it, thinks McDonald’s is good grub and dances like he’s a combo of Willie Desjardins and Michael J Fox all the while being the defacto chief of the Cap Reserve.

Why do we ever think it will be different.
I don’t think we will be full of hope over minor tweaks. There’s nothing in the pipeline that’s going to make a splash. The tweaks would involve shedding some players that don’t move the needle and replacing them with players of similar ilk…..maybe a bit cheaper. Our impact players that are supposed to be leading the team are failing.

This was the last summer for minor tweaks. It was make or break and they broke.
