Honestly, I don't expect a full-out tanking till they start trading away some guys (at the deadline probably) and then give the young boys a chance full time
Unfortunately for tank nation history has shown that removing deadwood vets while bringing in kids who want to make an impression on the organization may lead to winning.

True but it's usually short lived due to the lack of experience and the number of mistakes made by the youth brought in.

Not really. Lehner would have deserved a trip back to Bingo for talking to those fools anyway.

Has O'Brien been recalled for the weekend games or are they leaving it up to the vets to pull it out?

Why aren't we giving Greening and O'Brien - and maybe Condra a chance. I want new blood in the lineup!

Look what winning did for the Isles. They traded away Wisniewski and Roloson.

And when they told Wis that he would have to move mid-season, did he say "That sucks" or did he just signal it?

Well, we haven't seen how the boys play now that Luke is back on the ice.

maybe after they sell kovalev, ruutu? chances are we'd probably have to take someone back though.

I think for sure these 3 will 100% be dealt by the trade deadline:
Kovalev
Ruutu
Leclaire

These three....still up in the air:
Campoli
Phillips
Kuba.....bahahaha who am I kidding?? Facepalm

I'm ambivalent about this move, to tell the truth. Excited to see him play, cautious about what it could do (bring us up from 12th to 9th if he plays well? see the kids facing 35+ shots every night?)

Really have to start reading more than one post at a time.

I think once Kovalev and Ruutu move on we'll see Greening and O'Brien for the rest of the year. Maybe Butler instead of one of those guys, but I think you're right, I guess we have to be patient. I find it frustrating that we sent O'Brien down to the AHL for cap purposes, then didn't recall him for this game.

Elliott gets the start, Lee in, Carkner out.

I guess...I can't recall hearing once positive thing about his speed though and at his size, he'll be executed in the NHL if he doesn't have the speed.

Leclaire dealt by the deadline? If anyone is that desperate they can have Emery for a lot less.

I think this may be Murray and Clouston's chance to show they can win with this lineup. If it doesn't work then changes?
