Sort of dodged - I mean they’re still run by the same clowns who offered the contract in the first place.

[GullFoss]

They both have NMCs (Kadri and Huby). Both would probably waive for a trade at this point.

Just call every team in the league and say he’s yours for free if he agrees to be dealt. No one taking him right now anyway. But I don’t know about publicly humiliating him. Tell him he sucks to his face.

Would Carey Price + Gallagher for Huby work for Montreal? Huby in Montreal seems right. Isn't that where Tanguay ended up as well?

I thought you were talking about Dube and Coleman.

#BringBackBennett

Say bye bye Lindholm, bring back Bennett, let him and Huberdeau roll together ride or die.

Trade Hanifin and Mangipapane to SJ for Duclaire and Eklund.

Find another LHD on the trade market using Vladar.


There's my wild stab at a shake-up.

[TenaciousC]

I had high hopes for Dube, has flashes of absolute brilliance out there. They are just too few and far between. I’m sure if we cut ties he will go put up 60 points somewhere, just that type of player.

Bennett has played one period this season

San Jose doesn’t touch that. Hanifin and Mangiapane don’t fit their window at all, which is to be competitive in four or five years. Eklund is also one of their top prospects. No chance they move him

One more than Huberdeau, though.

Just daydreaming an opening night in the new barn line of Eklund-Zary-Coronato. Don't mind me.

And HE had to break off talks?

What was this team doing?

What a laugher. He isn't even worth $5mil after the Oilerz destroyed him in the playoffs. No offensive upside. Get him out asap!

and you know he is totally sucking this season when Timbit has barely apologized for him.

Coleman? Are you kidding me?

Whatever else you want to say about Coleman, he is a consummate professional. That guy brings it every night and he does his job and more.

If I'm pointing fingers at under-performers Coleman doesnt even make my list. That guy does his job night in and night out.

He's just a bad hockey player. No defensive awareness, no vision as a forward.

I really wonder what games people are watching sometimes or maybe I'm losing it .

Coleman wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the list of guys I'd waive. Sure he's a little overpaid but he's been fine.

I don't even think Huberdeau was that bad tonight vs Dallas to be honest.

Kadri was much better tonight.

The biggest disappointments so far for me are Dube, Lindholm, and Hanifin. I expected so much more from Lindholm but he seems absolutely lost.

Dube has always driven me crazy but I'd much rather have Zary..

If shooting it directly at the goalies crest was worth a point Hanifin would be an all star.

Dube’s one of those guys who has the ability to be a top 6 forward but just can’t put it all together. If you looked up inconsistent in the dictionary, Dube’s picture would be right there

[Locke]

And honestly...I DGAF what the players are saying.

I think its pretty clear now that Sutter was the answer, not the problem.

He wins the Jack Adams and then takes this sorry sack of bastards within 2 points of the playoffs?

Problem? He's essentially a miracle worker.

Don't worry, Coleman isn't the player talked about for waivers
