OEL has been fine, a bit overpaid but certainly a solid #3 guy who can anchor a second pairing. Garland has been very good. I like the player. Dickinson is probably better suited to the wing or 4C, but he’s been decent. Poolman has been ok, not a world beater but a decent bottom pairing guy even if he’s overpaid. Halak hasn’t hurt them, nor Schenn.
Other than Miller and to a lesser degree Hughes and Demko, the rest of the “core” has been awful. They don’t have enough star power or depth to withstand that. So they need 80 % of the guys pulling in that direction. They have way too many passengers right now.
None of this is on the additions. Three of the top 4 forwards not playing like ass could solve a lot of problems. Maybe we’ve overrated these kids. I don’t have a great feeling when the best two guys weigh 165 pounds.

A fair assessment.
I just can't get my head around how the fuck BB and EP have turned into plumbers overnight like this though. It really makes no sense other than the possibility that they want out or Green gone.
What else could it be?
Neither can handle the puck to save their lives. Neither are anticipating or moving into open ice to get shots off, they just stand there and cough up pucks that they have easily been able to contain and distribute around 4th line pressure.

Weird. He clearly knows and is saying as much with his eyes.
So is this BB and EP not liking the coach? I have my doubts it's they want out so that leaves they hate TG and are submarining to get him canned. That's pretty dirtbag even if he is a useless coach.
