There’s gotta be more to the trade than a 4th round pick right? Hoping it is a I’ll scratch your back type deal and hopefully there’s something in the works behind the scenes. If not, not a great look for BG. If him and Deano keep on a fairly stubborn path of a high desire to not do much other than what they are doing KK and dans will not be happy in a yr or 2 more of this. Understand centers are tough to come by and all the cap space issues, but at some point the way they are running, coaching and setting up this team it doesn’t look like a system built for anything but struggling to be relevant.
Thought Boldy’s game was way better and hopefully he can keep that trend going in the right direction. Keep Reaves as an option but not so much in the lineup on the ice. Shaw, Walker, Beckman, Dewar and Duhaime all deserve more minute’s on the 3rd and 4th lines. The energy they bring is a big pickup to the team. The pk minute’s by the core pk guys and what they do is impressive. Never seen a pk kill as consistent at force teams to be cautious cause they know the pk killers aren’t just looking to kill off they pp, they are smartly looking to catch teams off guard or who run 3 forwards and only one d-man. If Boldy, Freddy or one of the younger guys started heating up this team “might” be able to be more able to score 5 on 5. If this team just up’d their 5 on 5 goals by 10% right now and the defense stayed the same little doubt the wins would start coming. And for Pete’s sake sit Flower and ride Gus. He’s been d @ m good! A little tweaking to the lines every night isn’t a bad thing and those in game adjustments could really help.
