A lot of good cycles and board play in the O zone but no finish. We miss Brock for sure so let us hope he is good to go sooner rather than later. Smith was good or did we make him look good?
Chase-on definitely made Smith look good. I know we’re missing Boeser but the organization needs more skill and offensive depth when you’re putting the likes of Dowling on the PP. I know Green is trying to spread the skill through the lines, but with the exception of the Horvat line, every line felt like there were two players with offensive ability trying to tow a boat anchor on skates in the offensive zone. I used to think that blue line depth was the priority, but Benning needs to build more offensive forward depth instead of more Fochts and Lockwoods.

I didn't mind Dowling's game but not on the PP, please. Highmore was good on the PK and showed some hustle. Chase-is-on does not impress me and its hard not to see what Gad or big Z could have done to replace what he is bringing. We saved like what $100,000 in cap by signing him and waiving big Z.
This one still mystifies me, but maybe it’s Green’s addiction with ‘safe’ vets who have an established, acceptable floor even if their ceiling is not high at all, rather than taking a chance and living with youngsters who haven’t yet reached their ceilings. Coaches love their job security.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

It’s his size. Not many GMs dare gamble on a short stack. But yes, he is coming along great and despite not being the tallest guy on the ice, he has no fear of going into the dirty areas.
Per, I know you’re not a massive fan of Hoglander but bare with me, in a 2019 redraft are you drafting Hoglander ahead of fellow Swedes who went ahead of him in the first round - Soderstrom, Broberg, Thomson, Bjornfot, Holmstrom

I am 110 %
Hey, I am a massive fan. I’m just explaining why he was still available.
You didn’t answer the question

Really makes you wonder how much faster - if at all - Chiasson was in preseason over Gadjovich.
MacEwan, Gadjovich gone on waivers for PP specialist Chiasson and someone named Dowling, Juolevi traded for journeymen trash and Lind gone in expansion draft. Awesome asset management
… what sort of reverse pagentry is this?!?

‘Gulp’
