I personally think there has been some very good discussion going on. I think we are going to improve in some or most of the areas you highlighted above as the season rolls on. Also if we go through the season looking as good as we have in the first 10 I could see KH making some big deadline deals possibly improving our weaker areas of the game. This is also the most possessed I have seen some of our players as well. They have it in their minds that nothing is gonna stop them. You gotta admit that the first 10 games have been very good and very entertaining. Let the good times roll!! I wonder if we could work out a deal for Anderson from Montreal. Yamo plus whatever. He’d be a great second line right winger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk OMG! That’s just the guy for the playoffs that I would want.

Yes Vej, sorry. No pic and never heard of him but he has started in 7 games not Hutton. If guys are upset that I'm pointing out some advantages we've had and some flaws here and there... It makes for discussion not trying to bash the team. I personally think there has been some very good discussion going on.

You gotta admit that the first 10 games have been very good and very entertaining. Let the good times roll!! Good, it is meant to be constructive. Due to our cap situation with LTIR it's dollar in dollar out so that's the problem. I think Anderson would be great from the Habs as MMB posted but I don't see how that would be possible. Even if you were to get him at the deadline. From my understanding it's not his partial salary acquiring him late in the year, to my knowledge since we are $ in and $ out his full cap hit applies whereas on other teams not on LTI his partial/remaining cap hit would apply.
The difference maker to me is Hollaway, from within, if he can get going. Mcleod is getting a second chance, hopefully that's a nice surprise for us.

I also think the discussion has been good. It's been fun to see this start and it does give us a bit of a cushion when a fall off inevitably occurs (we are not going 72-10 this year). Way better to have it than not. I'd love to have Anderson on the oil (just as i wanted Garland whose looking dynamite on the nucks), but not sure how we fit him in under the cap either, but losing Yam is no biggie IMO. I have no expectation for McLeod to come in and be better than Shore TBH. Holloway, definitely might be the missing peace there but that's also a big ask. Meanwhile our D is only So-So atm and there's a lot of fingers crossed that they're somehow going to get better once they "get to know each other better"/get up to speed? IMO, too many things have to go right and be "lucky" for this d-group to be good enough to be contending and I'm not sure how we can improve given the contracts TBH??

Bottom line is they have to be better 5 on 5 if we are going to have any success in the playoffs. We have only outscored the opposition in 4 games this season at even strength. That is not good enough.
