If you're going to jump which side is more attractive? Spend 5 bucks, or save 5 bucks? Is one side without a rail? Maybe go that route so as not to sprain an ankle or break a leg before the big launch. New Jersey charges people fleeing from it.

Seriously i don't really have any right now....i want to see what he does before the trade deadline...i'm thinking get through this season see what he does at the draft, then by the time free agency is over during preseason/camp before next season......then i will have expectations....hopefully. At this point with the reboot this is an evaluation period sitting where they are right now 5th from the bottom anything positive to happen to this club would just be a cherry on top they have such a huge hole to dig out of i can''t see the playoffs right now. I could see them hiring a whole new staff if this team doesn't improve significantly and at least push hard for the playoffs. So yeah i don't have any right now. #cautiouslyoptimistic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 All I'm saying is this: Someone is guilty of molesting children. Yeah, come on into my home. Watch my kids for me. See how it goes. I realize this is a sinister analogy, but someone goes 8 or 9 years, trades away picks, prospects. Trades for washed up nothings with other GMs running to the bank to cash the check before a stop-payment is put on it, "hey? have crap you can't possibly use? Call Chucky. He'll give you a second rounder and a prospect for a used condom." Hey, let's sign a couple of 27 year olds through until their 40 for $98 million. What's a cap? Meanwhile, we've tag-teamed him with Sir CapSchmap. The combination is like a sorority party with Ted Bundy and Jeff Dahmer. What the hell, see how it goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it. I understand chaos theory, but the only thing that will change with lying down on I-95 twice is what kind of car runs over you each time and the name of the person driving. The results may vary in terms of degree, but neither will be good. Edited December 5, 2018 by ruxpin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do appreciate the attempt at "hope." Why not? So, I'm not trying to come "at" you. My tone, etc., is really directed elsewhere. I just have no doubt how this turns out.

When you add Chucky's track record to working for a guy who just fired the last GM for not putting enough butts in seats. No, I'm fairly certain history is but prelude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyersfan35 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 11 hours ago, brelic said: Is there a specific area Paul & Dave wanted you to address first?Again, Paul and Dave were great. We didn’t get into the specifics of the team necessarily. We did discuss the team a bit, but they made it very clear they will trust my judgment and they will allow me to do the things I think we need to do to get better. I’m just looking at it from the outside, it’s not a secret – there’s five different goalies that have played in net this year, and that’s a lot. We’re 29th in goals-against; that’s too high. We have some young defensemen, and a lot of them are going to be very good players in this league, but it’s a tough league. We just need to look at how do we give up fewer goals. It takes everybody on the ice to prevent a goal. But getting some stability in goal would be great, getting healthy in goal would be great. Sometimes you can’t control that, and that’s why we’ll first look to see what we have here in-house, and if need be, I’m certainly going to make a lot of calls and see what’s out there, and if we have to make a move we’ll be ready to do so. fewer goals? sounds he wants to improve the defense and goaltending. sounds he wants to build this team from goaltending to defense which is our major weakness.
