Rod needs to make some actual changes. No more chopping up lines. Bring up Suzuki, Pomo, whoever else in the pipeline that might provide a spark.

Bench Orlov, bench KK, I’m not as down on Necas as everybody else, but sit his ass too. Hell, sit Aho if you have to. Gotta get the meassage through to these guys.

Yeah, eventually something has to change. I know Rod probably still believes this is correctable but we are a pretty good ways into this and it doesn't seem to be working. 

Now, in Rod's defense, we have had another season under him of a bunch of line changes before things started clicking. Maybe this is another one.

I am still mostly worried about the goalie situation. We have absolutely no safety net for sluggish offense or a few mental errors. Mistakes are just too easily scored on. That has to stop. 

I know plenty of you keep defending this situation but the stats aren't an accident. Also consider how often we force those mistakes and get stoned by supposedly average goalies. Our guys have extreme difficulty with that.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
