Small tweaks on the edges aren't getting it done.  Time to move on.  Other than Cat, Simon and Mo...clear it out 

[Jason_R]

He dropped the gloves last night.

PATHETIC.

Just...

Absolutely...

pathetic.

I'm on board with... moving out all the past-their-prime vets and bringing up a bunch of kids.

Let them struggle. Let them make rookie mistakes.

Let them rise to the occasion if they are able to do so.

Send anyone who can't get past their struggles back down to GR for more seasoning.

If it's a bad year and we finish bottom 10 team sobeit.

Just...

Do...

Something...

Different.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Kenny had drafted one of the fifteen players in 2017 who were picked behind Rasmussen but have better career numbers? But why draft Robert Thomas or Jason Robertson when you can dream about putting together a trade package for them eight years later.

Jettison:

Hamonic, JVR, Compher, Perron, Talbot.

Rasmussen? 

Should Albert Johansson be on the trading block along with Compher and Ras? Who would want any of them? A bottom-feeder looking for a "vet" for a future 6th or 7th? DO IT Yzerman!!!

And DON'T replace them with more horse **** "veterans" that are past their prime or not any good to begin with.

Excuse my language but... Bring up the ****ing kids and ride them to WHATEVER record we get with them.

DO something DIFFERENT Yzerman!

YEEESH!!!

Pathetic.

Larkin has to be traded this summer. 

[lordstanley]

5-7-2 for 12 pts in 14 games in March. 7-11-3 for 17 pts in 21 games since late January - only the Canucks have been worse.

Maybe send him to NJ so we can get the Hughes brothers.

Seider is the only untouchable IMO but it is hard to imagine a Larkin trade that makes the team better. Not saying there isn’t one but you’d need to get one of about 25 top centers back just to tread water. 

I’m not sure Larkin is the problem though. I still see too many players that are just here for the paycheck with not enough competition to force them to earn it. 

I’ve said it before but the rebuild isn’t over until Copp, Compher, and Rasmussen are off the books and replaced by some combination of Danielson, MBN, Lombardi, Genborg, Bear, and maybe a free agent. And in the meantime, re-sign DeBrincat.
