As Breakable as Funyuns (Funchess) injures leg in practice again

It is getting to the point that we just cant assume he will play much thos season. 

 

Gettleman has to look at a trade. 

i know people here are desperately hoping somebody will get cut that can reinforce the position, but WR is different from positions of years gone by where weve waited until cuts to bring guys in.

 

this isnt like DT. The position has so many slots and is so hungry for talent that teams dont part with talent there. Teams look for at least 4 good players they can stick out on the field and then seek depth/ST. It wasnt so long ago we ourselves were talking about keeping 6 or even 7 guys.

 

Most of the guys youre seeing getting cut now are the guys who couldnt make their way onto that. Fringe 5/6 players who couldnt crack the lineup. There is the possibility an older player gets cut to make way for a younger pair of promising legs, but then weve got to listen to the parade of "ugh we'd have to pay him though? Like in money?" Or "uuuuughhh old players like anquan boldin/steve smith/ andre johnson are sooooo ollld and done why are there no flawless players being released in second cuts sooooo annoying i really hoped oakland would part with amari cooper" 

 

you know, the works.

There are a lot of things in football that annoy me.  Lord knows I like to complain about them.  High on that list: rookies who get some stupid nagging injury in camp then spend the whole season nursing said stupid nagging injury while we sit around and wonder how good they could be if they weren't broken out of the box.

On the bright side we're going to get really good at what-could-have-been here this season.  We're already pretty solid but we can up our hypothetical game to god-like at this pace.

    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
    • You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
    • Have they said when the Blueprint Draft episode is going to be released? Kinda weird to put out the teaser but not a date for it, already itching to watch all the T-Mac stuff
