Hold on, ur jumping for joy that we got a 1st for Miller which will be about 5-10 picks higher than the 2nd we gave up just for someone to take Nemeth’s contract? PLUS another 2nd that we gave up???? That’s what ur excited about? You know, the contract DRURY signed him to the year before?
Or what about the 2nd he gave up for Reilly F’ing Smith??? You can’t be this blinded TJ.
Buchnevich is having a down year after 4 straight seasons of 20+ goals and a 30 goal season mixed in there playing on the lowest scoring team in the league (121 GF). Plays well defensively also.
The problem wasn’t trading Buchnevich, it was the return. He valued Blais WAY too much.
Loaded with picks? All Drury has done is trade away picks. He signed Nemeth, then the following year gave Arizona (2) 2nd round picks to take his contract. One of those picks is this year and will likely be around 34/35 overall. Absolutely HORRIBLE asset management. He’s a horrendous GM.
All the players he’s reportedly “been wanting for a while” when he makes these trades, Parsennen, Brisson etc have all sucked. He’s terrible and you have no leg to stand on being that’s he’s been the GM 5 years and taken this team from President trophy winner and the ECF to a bottom feeder.
TJ man, how do you still defend this guy. This was his 5th year as GM. This team has almost ALL been signed by or traded by HIM. He created this mess we’re in; what gives you the confidence he’s the right guy to do this after seeing how HORRIBLE he’s been??? You’re better than this
Bill, why don’t all blogs have forums? Jan has posted 3 blogs but none of them have a forum so keeping up with current talk is kinda difficult and talking in the blogs waiting hours for comments to get approved isn’t the most affective. Can’t figure out how to DM on here so sorry for posting this in your blog.
Jan, Bill keeps saying use the forums bc the posts post instantly. But none of your last 3 blogs had a forum. I’ve been talking to myself there with aecliptic bc I had no idea u posted new blogs. I don’t even check the main page anymore, just the forums for a new blog. Why don’t all blogs get a forum?
Glad we gave up the 12th overall pick for him. Drury the genius at it again. Seeing the reports he offered a 2nd and Othmann gives me 0 hope he’s going to do this “retool” the right way. When it’s all said and done we’ll need 3-5 years to fix his mistakes.
Strome Kreider and Trouba all on the ice for that game leading goal. Love it. This team is lifeless, no energy, no heart, no emotion.
I wouldn’t call Othmann a bust just yet. I’d give him another year with top 6 minutes and PP time to see what he is. In my opinion, he’s a 3rd liner with a 40-50 point ceiling that plays hard but id like to give him the opportunity before we pencil him in for that at 23 years old.
Apparently Drury offered Othmann and a 2nd for Sherwood. Trading more youth for 30+ players. I can’t stand this guy.
That has to be Chytil going against Dr’s orders. He probably signed some waiver and it is what it is. He should hang them up though. No amount of money is worth it.
On top of that, what has he done that’s impressed you? He’s a declining player in his 30’s. The 12th overall pick would’ve been much more beneficial to the franchise than a 30+ player on the decline. Just another moronic move by Drury.
Jed Ortmeyer, Director of Player Development since 2017.
Tanner Glass, Assistant Director of Player Development since 2019.These 2 need to be fired IMMEDIATELY. We cannot continue to move forward with these two still here.
Great points. Othmann, Laf, Kravtsov, Lias, Kakko the list goes on and on.
We do seem to do ok with our later, bigger picks though.
Laba 6’3 215
Rempe 6’9 260
Edstrom 6’7 235Then look at some of our later, smaller players. They don’t pan out so well.
Henriksson 5’9 180 (2nd round pick)
Berard 5’9 165
Sykora 5’10 180 (2nd round pick)
Aaltonnen 5’8 165Exactly. I already replied to this, but it’s not showing up now. This site is …… but yes, imagine what a team would give to have Trocheck at 2.8 million for the next 4 seasons (including the remainder of this one)? If they really got tricky, get another team to retain 800k-1 million and have him for $2 million or under for the next 4 seasons?
