Don’t let him wear a wild jersey again. Waiver him or trade him when able.  It’s sad when the guy we just claimed in his first game plays better than him and is much cheaper.  This is why other trades need to happen as well.  Our guys just aren’t that good. Boldy, Rossi, Zucc, Spurgeon all MIA the last few weeks.  Need to trade them

Rinse and repeat. That horse hasn't been flogged enough yet?

Not until something happens. We have a GM who is scared to take a risk.  Get rid of the country club and start GMing like Vegas.  No guy on the team is more important than the team and the goal of winning a Cup.

Get him ready for playoffs. We'll be needing him.

What part of Gming like Vegas are you referring to?  The Eichel trade or something else?

So if we trade all the players that haven’t produced in 2 weeks I guess we should have traded Kap after the Dallas playoff series two seasons ago because he had one goal and 0 assists in the 6 games, and that was a power play goal.  Almost all players go through stretches without scoring.  That’s why you have to look at the totality of the year.  Rossi, 46 in 55, Boldy, 45 in 55, and Zucc, 36 in 42.  Nothing wrong with those stats.

Looks at his creative use of cap space.  Also the Eichel trade, stone trade, and how any player looks like they done he doesn’t resign or trades them.  Our guy Billy is a few years behind seeing that cliff and signs them a few more years and we get results like we do now.  The Vegas GM bribgs in players and goes for it every year

They don’t pass the eye test. Watch them against the good teams in the west.  They fold.  Also their stats are padded for PP.  Their 5x5 results arent good.  Change needs to happen if we want to compete.

Ok.  Rossi has 10, Boldy 13, and Zucc 10 on pp.  Here are comparable points players and their pp and points results. 

 

Matt Duchene, Dallas, 49 points and 16 on pp.  

Robertson, Dallas, 50 points, 14 on pp.

Vilardi, Winnipeg, 49 points, 22 on pp

Bedard, Chicago, 46 points, 16 on pp.

Unless all these players aren’t good on 5x5 either, it looks like our guys are performing as well or better in 5x5.
