@LordsOfTheRinks A thought - everyone talking about 5, 2 and 6, but the really bold/consequential move would actually be Doughty
A third pairing that doesn’t produce isn’t great but not terminal
A top pairing that doesn’t produce a much bigger problem. Drew trade could be transformative 🤔
@LordsOfTheRinks hi mate - thoughts on PL as new coach? I’m pretty happy personally.
Although of course he needs D changes
A reflection for the day - Kopi scored 12 goals last season. If the new C scores 25 goals even, that’s a decent uplift, plus Fiala back. There’s hope
@LordsOfTheRinks 100% agree
If I’m being glass half full, my hope is that PL has joined on the understanding with KH that the D group is about to undergo major surgery.
If it doesn’t, it’s “DOA”.
@DZoneLiability@LAKings874 Someone who could consistently get the most out of Byfield and Fiala (and others) would be a good start.
The new 1-2C is also going to be key.
Still need to trade ideally more than one from lumbering D group though before this team shows signs of life.
@AStanovich68@gollum89035427 Unfortunately Ceci’s contract is an albatross.
I do wonder if Angus Booth is also worth an extended look on the third pair
Forward Nick Seitz, who iced last season with the Guildford Flames (@flamesicehockey), signs with Sydney Bears, AIHL, Australia - https://t.co/3S9zjfJQdu #EIHL#EIHLSigningNews
Memmingen holt Jamal Watson zurück in die DEL2! Viele Spatzen pfiffen es bereits von den Dächern, Eisblog-Infos zufolge ist die Tinte trocken. Aus der englischen EIHL kommt wohl ein alter Bekannter zum Aufsteiger. In Kaufbeuren damals Führungsspieler!

@NHLRussell Yup. But acknowledging it needs to be put right is a start.
It’s not an excuse but I’m also fairly confident Hiller wanted that sort of D man
@Kopitar4HOF As @JWPatarino has said, the very cheap and forward looking solution to Dumoulin is right there in Booth. In house Ceci solution, not so much, but good to hear Brzustewicz is heading in the right direction. @NHLRussell
