Why does it have to happen in the summer? Are you saying if someone offers up a first round pick and a good prospect for Lindholm on Friday that Treliving is going to turn it down?

no need to make it personal.
We are just talking hockey here
This team isn’t rebuilding. Accept it

They MAY have players who are tradeable...selling them would indicate that they are rentals and nobody is taking any of these guys at this time of year as most still have term. Can't see it happening.

Step 1 is to fire Trelieving and let a new GM come in and look at everything and be objective in evaluating players. Then they can decide what to sell.

Yup
They aren’t rebuilding.
Have you heard any whispers of guys like that being on the market?

Step 1 for that to happen is the owners agreeing to rebuild

The front office of this organization needs to have an honest conversation about how flawed this current roster is, how much worse it can afford to be, and for how long it can afford to be this bad or worse. If the decisions are that this club cannot be allowed to be worse for any length of time, and efforts are made to improve the team in the immediate term -- as they were this offseason -- I feel we're doomed to a lot more mediocrity for a long, long time.

Gawt dang that hurts. That’s a painful, painful (and not unfair) way to look at it.

Learned two things tonight:
1. Markstrom still sucks
2. It doesn’t matter, cuz we can’t hang with the good teams anyways.

Gonna be real awkward when Sutter goes back to Markstrom next game despite saying ‘win and you’re in’

Nashville and Minnesota will begin to fall away now.
We will make the playoffs as the second wild card.
Our first round opponent will be the conference leading Avalanche
A waste of 8 days

It’s such a non-factor though. Both goalies are rubbish.

You are probably right, they will give it one more year. This team is light years away from competing for a Cup but they might make the playoffs next year and then lose 2 or 3 of those guys for nothing.

Are you referring to the Paul Boutilier skating style reference? I used to like Ron, but he is always referencing crap that no one cares about. From his CFL references to 80s Canadian bands, the current generation of fans don’t know or care about those topics. It’s mind boggling.

Sorry I won’t throw rocks at your crystal palace. My comment was hockey related? You should go buy a jackass to go into your crystal palace pastures.

Maybe they'll sell Lindholm so they can bring Monahan back to be our number 1 center

Also I didn’t say players with term can’t be traded. I said this team isn’t going to trade them for futures.
And player for player deals involving those guys happen in the summer
In your effort to slam me at least be accurate
