You realize part of the rookie broadcaster hazing ritual is the head-first bungee jump at the West Edmonton Mall…

I seriously think a big trade is in the works, as much as segal, clune, moller can give us there not bonafide 1st or 2nd line players, we need that presence on our top 2 lines we;re not getting, we need that consistent scoring and someone either kopy or stollsy can look over to nod their head and say we;re gonna get that next goal

I see your point lakingsfan26..It seems like FSW never shows the GM or anyone from the front office in their suites during the games. I wonder if that’s an org choice or the networks?

It’s a crapshoot that the team can tread water until the big guys get back…I believe they have enough talent and the right system that they can hold on until they get back from injury. Only time will tell.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Results.

That’s what I want out of DL. I don’t care how he gets them. WRT that, I don’t mean to disparage your criticism, LAKF26, but I think he’s got a pretty good idea what he’s doing.

nykingsfan I see your point and yes, he is responsible for the entire org. but I still say if the Kings have a game that night, that is where he should be. If you ever notice, most GM’s are seen up in the press box during games and tbh I see DL there way seldom than most.

I guess part of my answer is because I see the team sliding lately after a nice start, have a few injuries now, and feel DL should make a deal to patch it up. I realize he brought up a couple players from Manchester, who may help, but until Smyth, Scuderi, Stoll, etc is back, it could be our chance to stay with San Jose instead of parachuting down the standings.

Thanks for your input. Happy Thanksgiving!

What’s the frequency, Kenneth

I always thought Edmonton was so far north that the North Pole was on the south side of it. LOL

I respectfully disagree with that lakingsfan26

I know he has scouts that he trusts, but there’s nothing more you trust than your own eyes. You rely on the scouts but you check out for yourself what they’re telling you. Remember, he was a successful scout before beoming a GM.
He may see something that they didn’t see.
He’s responsible for the entire organization. That means not only the NHL club, but AHL, ECHL, all players he’s drafted in Juniors and all players he’ll possibly be drafting in the future.
If he drafts a guy he didn’t see and the guy turns out to be a bust, it’s his butt that’s on the line.
