SKYO. One more time - Lucic sucks. He doesn’t scare anyone anymore because that era of hockey is no longer. If he was faster yes but he is horribly slow and useless out there

#Flyers announce they've hired both Michel Therrien and Mike Yeo as assistant coaches to Alain Vigneault.

That's three #NHL head coaches on the bench.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Don't know whether to call that covering all the bases or overkill.
Has that ever been done before?

Michel Therrien kinda scurry type.

What do you do if your in Holland’s shoes? The Oilers are a mess. First and foremost they need goaltending. Just awful in the nets. That has to be quick fix now, but how?

I would go all in on mcillheney. He is a solid 1b option about to hit the market

I trade poolparty for as good of a defenseman as possible...a young puck moving type of asset who can help take some zone entry responsibility off of mcD and feed him pucks.

I would look at a legit top pairing ufa winger for mcd. Someone who can compliment the best player in the game. Not an easy task...

Ditch Lucic any way you can. Clear that shit out asap

He'll be 36 in a coupla weeks, but I've gotta agree with you Dan.

$2M X 3 years probably gets it done.

(his highest AAV ever was $850K, longest term ever was 2 years)

No chance of that, Poo Party is worth a 3rd at best right now.

I'd keep him, play him with McDave, and pray.

I agree, and it's a good year for that, but they need to clear up some cap room first.

Yup, ditch Looch, even though you'd have to give up a great asset or two to do so.

Same thing with Sekera.

You need to open that McDee Window as wide as possible right now.

And get a good goalie coach in for Koskinen, maybe he's salvageable.

Ya Sekera is fuckered now. Probably shouldn't even have gotten his med clearance.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume JPs value is so low. Hes only 2 years post draft.

Breadman actually said he wants a BIG city with "beaches" and a strong Russian community.

Panarin dropped his agent in favour of Goalie Blob's agent, so folks are thinking they'll go to the same team.
