I'm all for sitting him for a game to help him learn, it worked for Johnny and Wideman last year, but the fact that people want to trade him is a joke. It's Jay Bouwmeester all over again. He was an Olympic-caliber defense man and that guy got treated like garbage here because people didn't like his contract.
I for one am still super excited we have Dougie on our team and have full faith this move will work out in the long run. Sure he's struggling right now, but everyone not named Gaudreau is struggling. It's unfair to single him out like this when he isn't the only person underperforming.

Well said. This team just needs some things to start going right for them. What a difference a two goal lead could do for this club. They've played well for long stretches in games and not been rewarded with a decent lead. Instead, every mistake seems to cost them. Don't want to blame any individual player any more... Just pulling for the boys to get some luck on their side as a group so they can get started turning things around.
